Artist History Vibrationland started in 1995, in Madison, WI. with a group of friends who together chanced to unwind with merry & music-making. "Beef Studios"(the den), became the homebase for a 4-track then 8-track home studio. 5 albums released (with some critical success), "imericanamerican" being the most recent. Two more albums, "Double-Jointed" and "The Uttermost West" are in the pipeline. The former is being recorded with "Dugong" engineer Rick Fatke, while the latter is a home-recorded endeavor.

Press Reviews BROWNIAN MOTION: "fantastic . . . with lots and lots of sonic diversity that should quell any hometaping fanatic's urgent ear candy fix. Beautifully warped."--Gajoob / "I Can't Stop Listening to: ViBRATiONLAND BROWNiAN MOTiON. Whacked out music for Now People."--David A. Kulczyk, Maximum Ink / "The band's enjoyment of their own music is so genuine and thourough, you can't help but get caught up in it . . . this mish-mash of music is so endearing."--Splendid / " #7 on David Kulczyk's Top Ten of 2001"--Maximum Ink DUGONG: "Well constructed pop songs with experimental and occasionally brash bends."--Wild Chirp / "Vibrationland's premeditated impulses appear both ingenious and spontaneous."--Maximum Ink / "This definitely has a very cool explorational feel."--Gajoob / "Vibrationland brings inspiration and persperation in equal measure."--Isthmus BURLY-Q: "Vibrationland's cds are always full of sounds combined in unique ways to make strange Vibrationland music."--Gajoob SQUIRTS & PUSHES: ". . .Excellent sound quality. Interesting lyrics and song titles. Musically diverse with structured melodies and dreamy instrumentals interwined with scary mind-image producing musical notes. Get this to hand out for Halloween treats."--Gajoob
