siblings Marco and Fabrizio D Arcangelo grew up listening to English
new wave and electro-pop. They were so enchanted by it they wanted
to make their own contributions.
However, their
records along with the music of other vital artists grew into the
to the definitive Sound of Rome , carving a longstanding career
through releasing music on labels like ACV, Nature their own Monomorph
label, Suction recordings.
Broken toys
corner is their second album for Rephlex.
In contrast
to the critically acclaimed Shipwreck released in 1999, it s a more
laid back, funky record.
Using complex
hip-hop rhythms and minimal synths, they make an intricate, soulful
contemporary sound, which grows in depth on repeated listens.
Their last album
is claimed by many to be one of Rephlex's finest, receiving accolades
from the press and national radio play. The good news is this one
is better.
They will be
playing live in the UK and touring the US later on this year as
part of the second braindance tour of 2002.
