# The Exaltics – 1000 Lights In The Sky (Part 2)

The Exaltics released 1000 Lights In The Sky (Part 2) on Bunker Records in 2010, marking a significant entry in the electronic music landscape of that era. As part of a series exploring expansive sonic territories, this album represents the group's continued evolution within the realms of electronic, electro, and acid music. The project demonstrates their commitment to pushing forward their distinctive sound across the vinyl format, which remains an ideal medium for experiencing their layered productions.

The album spans eight tracks across two sides, each carefully constructed to showcase the group's technical prowess and artistic vision. Side A opens with Try To Believe, setting an inviting tone before moving through Control Panel and the hypnotic X3. The title track, 1000 Lights In The Sky, serves as a centerpiece that encapsulates the album's thematic ambitions, followed by the groove-oriented We Come Around. Side B ventures into darker territory with Y3, then explores more experimental waters through the extended six-minute journey of Death Trap. The latter half closes with In The End You've Got Nothing and Auxiliary Ship, both of which reinforce the album's cohesive yet varied approach.

Throughout the record, The Exaltics balance acid's propulsive energy with electro's precise architectures, creating an engaging listening experience that rewards both casual play and deep focused attention. This vinyl release remains a compelling document of their artistry during this creative period.
