Endangered Species Vol 2
About this item
Just the six years after Vol 1, wave and synth archivists Dark Entries return with Endangered Species Vol 2, and this time rescue 11 more rare Italo and synth-wave curios from extinction. Highlights include an extended mix of Palazzo di Danza's slinky German-Italo cut 'Play That Song For Me,' Olga Vosconyan's moody 'Cars' and a previously unheard male vocal demo of Alexander Robotnick's 'I Wanna Believe' which is wonderfully shiny and hooky, Industrial heads get a treat too with Skinny Puppy pair Dwayne Goettel and cEvin Key's horror-sampling 'Bastards' that brings a theatric and darker sound alongside A;GRUMH...'s punchy, techno-leaning machine-funk 'The Army' and Khmer Rouge's Krautrock-tinged 'Take Me... In Dub.' Add in the 16-page booklet of liner notes and photos and you have another essential act of preservation.
