This was a split tape originally released by Lasergrind Trading Co. (Kaloy Jaramillo legendary Ecuadorian label) in 2000. In fact, Kaloy was part of ARCANO18 in this recording.
Artwork and title was made by misterious artist behind the name of KGB from Greece (recently getting contact back with him, great crazy guy), here you can listen to his unique form of electronic-cut-up-experimental hardcore/noise music, avant-garde, full of textures mixed up with computer sounds, years before the so called 8-bit genre were popular.
ARCANO18 deals with some of the harshest shit ever recorded from this Ecuadorian act. Raw, 4-track stuff with some MAKANAKUNA reminiscences (Francisco Castellanos previous project 95-98). This tracks have to be experienced at once, its a very sick and disturbing journy into depressive, pissed feelings, full of pain and sorrow, not only inspired, but filled with them. I hope you all enjoy this old stuff. It has to be listened completely to be enjoyed at maximum.... vivid, crude sounds, notice there were no alterations of any type, this is PURE old school, tape, experimental music, the most weird, deep and in-your-face noise you´ll ever experienced before.
Francisco Castellanos. July 2013.
