PBK:
"The story of my ill-fated collaboration with cousin, Michael Kowalski, aka Artemis K, was laid down in a previous posting here. During the time he and I worked together, from 1996 to 2000, we never had what I'd call an 'official' release, but several tapes were made and 'Edge And Effect', from 1998, was my contribution. Up to that point, it was our only full-length release.
By 1998, my cousin and I had done many live improvisations under the influence of LSD and Mescaline. Quite often we would perform concerts at his house with friends looking on and those concerts would always last for hours, so there was a lot of material to choose from in assembling this release. I chose what exemplified, for me, the best of our more abstract material and opened the set with a very fine track mixed by Artemis that eventually appeared on an album he self-released called 'Miscreant'. To the best of my knowledge 'Miscreant' was released with at least three collaborative tracks on it to which Artemis did not credit my contributions.
I'm really proud to make this release available, if only for historical credit. This noise was created in Flint, an hour north of Detroit, during a time when there was no noise 'scene' in Michigan- Wolf Eyes, Hive Mind, Cotton Museum, Sick Llama, Mammal, etc. were either in infancy or didn't exist at all."
REVIEW: "This project of Artemis K and PBK assaults the listener with a combination of swirling rhythmic noise and atonal drifting sound. ACCLIMATE sift through the debris of our culture and unearth some of the sickness and grime that pollutes the air around us. Bits of subtle melodies seep in around the cracks, and snippets of found dialogue find their way through the dense sound fog. These guys are no strangers to post-industrial sound collage, and this debut full-length release from ACCLIMATE is a fine work that manages to be unpredictable and jarring, yet highly listenable. Looking forward to that CD release now..." Godsend Magazine
