Gnnnhhaagh!
I'm always taken aback by Kolly Kibber's Birthday.This demo is surely one of the peaks of musical achievement. The wonderful Boredom-style two-note solo stars but in this case is backed by a relentless pulsing psychedelic synth overload, and then there is Julian's most angelic choirboy vocal. The lyrics are seemingly philosophically and emotionally deep, and seem to describe himself looking back as a child awakening to adulthood (that's my guess - I don't know). And I love the chaotic crescendo ending.
I really love this track.
