Synopsis

An animated cat races through a constantly shifting psychedelic landscape in time with Luke Vibert's bouncing acid-house track. Bright colors, warped shapes, looping patterns, and surreal visual transformations turn the song's repeated celebration of acid into a playful cartoon trip. There is no conventional storyline; instead, the video builds its momentum through rhythm, repetition, and increasingly strange encounters. The cat acts as the viewer's guide through a colorful electronic universe where the imagery moves with the music's squelching bass and restless beat.
