about

On their second release for Gigante Sound, Vulcanus 68 rein in the dense collage of scattershot sample manipulation from their self-titled debut for a deeper, more focused sound. The duo has incorporated the concréte exploration as just one element in a dense stew of drones and electronics that takes the listener even further out to the edges of the eerie tone swamp they call home.
----
"...This is their second release, and it's as cryptic as the first. They dispel with song titles, instead each track is cataloged with a number/letter. From the seemingly innocuously described instrumentation of electronics, and multispeed turntables and tapes, they churn up a stewed aural bog for you to sink your ears into. It's an ominous sci-fi soundscape populated by insectile prickles, slippery gelatinous gurgles, gritty buzzing masses and heavy rolling drones. Might just be us, but compared to the darkly mischievous tone of Vulcanus 68's debut release, we sense more of an undercurrent of skin-crawling malevolence here. Potentially nightmare inducing. Aaiiieeee... heh heh... good stuff! 47 minutes. Recommended."-Aquarius Records

"As I type, I'm listening to the Vulcanus 68 CD, simply entitled "2", which I bought at the merch table after the gig. The music takes me places, mostly ones I wouldn't want to visit in person – places that are blasted and bleak. Nice."

about

Vulcanus 68

Vulcanus 68 is a return to the roots of outlaw electronic music. Taking their cue from the 60s/70s renegades outside the academic limelight such as Tod Dockstader,Richard Maxfield, Ruth White, Kenneth Gaburo and Basil Kirchin, Vulcanus 68 bring their own dark 21st century vision to the outskirts of electronic composition. ... more
