D’Arcangelo - II

Suction Records is proud to present “II” - a new, archival EP release by Italian duo D’Arcangelo. We like to think of “II” as an imaginary sequel to the duo’s classic 1996 debut EP on Aphex Twin’s legendary, now-defunct Rephlex Records

Artist: D’Arcangelo
Title: II
Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction044
Format: 12” vinyl EP
Release Date: May 11, 2018

Suction Records is proud to present “II” - a new, archival EP release by Italian duo D’Arcangelo. We like to think of “II” as an imaginary sequel to the duo’s classic 1996 debut EP on Aphex Twin’s legendary, now-defunct Rephlex Records (also reissued on Suction last year).

Just like their debut EP, the material on “II” was recorded in the ‘90s using hardware synths, samplers, and FX. Also like their debut, “II” similarly features fierce, crunchy industrialized electronix on Side A, backed with melodic, robotic electro (the D’Arcangelo brothers call these tracks their “Diagrams”) on Side B. Four of the six tracks are previously unreleased, while “AOM*2” (an absolute monster Caustic Window-style distorted beat track) and “Diagram IX” (a timeless slice of early-Human League-style synth pop) come from long-out-of-print ‘90s vinyl comps on Eclectic Records and Suction Records, respectively.

Limited to 500 copies, with 150 copies on LIME GREEN VINYL.

This came totally out of the blue but I'm stoked as hell. Always loved D'Arcangelo EP and also a big fan of AOM2 so the compilation is a win! Suction delivers again :)

Proud cat 039 owner. (Thanks top tier watmmer Ieafs).

One of my all time fave rephlex trax fo sho.

Used to find it hard to find the 1st beat during the intro so the kick drum came in disorientatingly (word?) (which was fun) but now I have pro level braindance powers and can't hear the intro any other way than correctly and pride myself on coming in bang on cue with my air drums (occasionally with a Phil Collins style tom roll preceding).

*backs out thread doing Dr Lopez dance moves*

Just a heads up for anyone planning to pick up the D'Arcangelo II 12-inch:

Highly recommend checking this one out. Love the yin and yang of the abrasive vs synth popish tunes.
