Uschi There is no band like VTB and this must be one of their greatest albums.

borg_le_grave Even when it's not music, it's music. I like the mystery of all the albums of Volcano the Bear, and I'm happy with this surprising release. (Ça fait plaisir !) Favorite track: Amateurs Blind.

Jim Tetlow It's amusing that the Bears sat on this for so long as in my humble opinion this is among their finest. Typically they pack more brain-delighting ideas into one album than many experimental artists manage in their whole careers! Classic Clarence Fusion in particular is a stirring classic. Favorite track: Classic Clarence Fusion.

Sven Volcano the Bear albums are always full of surprising and sometimes irritating moments and this is also true of Amateur Shakes. But this fine album sounds more focused than many other Volcano the Bear releases - definitely not like an album one would not release at once. What a pleasant surprise! Favorite track: Classic Clarence Fusion.

about

LOST ALBUM FROM EXPERIMENTAL OUTSIDERS VOLCANO THE BEAR

Back in 2007 we were invited by Hans-Joachim Irmler to record at Faust Studio in Germany. The plan was to hopefully release an album on the Klangbad label. We arranged some dates in between a European tour to record. Subsequent tours, combined with visits to Faust Studio over the following years resulted in an album that was finished and ready. But the Klangbad release never happened and the album kept getting shelved. In 2013 we decided to purchase the recordings so we could release the album with another label. We then sat on it and 10 years on from us gaining ownership of the recordings we are finally releasing it as Amateur Shakes.
