Album Review

Fans of old 1950s electronic music, take note ...

Noise/electronics, in monochrome low-key snippets that linger like dark clouds overhead. Sounds recall the pioneer days of electronic music: sci-fi blipping combined with anonymous hums and drones. It's retro, in a way. They've also included voices: sped up, slowed down, or run backwards. Strange little trips. FCC safe.

Vulcanus 68 are two local guys: Jared Blum (Blanketship, Bloom) and Dominic Cramp (Borful Tang, Qulfus, Modular Set).

1- Crunchy beat buried by slow firestorm sounds
2- Quirky blips and a spacey drone, VERY retro!
3- Croakings
4- "Carpenter frogs." '50s-style computer burbles.
5- Abrasive near-vocal sound
6- Airplane buzzing; baby sounds & talking.
7- Low church-organy groan, metallic rustling
8- Boingy pops and snips; active and fairly loud
9- Vibrating sounds (or insect buzz)
10- Slow bell-like sounds, a distant vocal; toneful blips later
11- Quiet beat & strange ethnic horn, then metallic crunching
12- Metallic insect chatter + some swoops and swirls
13- Glitchy, w/bells
14- Warbly la-la vocals, then sci-fi chaos
15- Calm eerie wind, with radar blips
16- Loud blooping
17- A cello-like melody line underneath layers of hiss.
