Vulcanus 68 - S/t [Gigante Sound - 2007]

Valcanus 68 is the audio equivalent of a trip through someones unfolding mind and thier descent into insanity, it's made up of all manner of grainy,worn and battened music; sampled and played, along with beatscapes and a host of sound and dialogue samples.

It all starts off fairly innocent and sane with pretty and expansive bell/synth washed melodies & beatcraft, all very hazed and aged as if mildew and dust have formed on top of it. Slowly but surly over the albums life it becomes more bent, odd and alarming, elements get slurred and slowed, noisey and jarring moments become more common place. More disturbing and twisted elements surface like slowed and slurred children’s talking, groaning, sawing & unreeling sounds -as if bit by bit a persons memories and thought patterns are getting more disturbed and  erratic, things seem to make little rational sense or reason anymore. We jump into pipes of droning wonky 80’s syth craft, down staircases of screeching string work, surround and creeped out by locked sinister string and musical box melodies, driped on by melting easy listerning, swallowed by bellowing and sick slowed ambient sound stretchers. 

An album effective in it’s detailing of decline/madness in a sound form. Rich with sonic detail and sound variation, never sitting to long in one place & building slowly a great feeling of real unease and instability. To find out more & hear sound samples drop in this cell
