Pleasure of Love reissue imprint, New Islands, is back with another stunning restoration of a sought-after 12' gem. Originally produced by Paul Robb of Information Society in 1987, Venus II emerged as an otherworldly girl group in the Minneapolis scene. The mysterious duo wrote, programmed/sequenced, and performed everything live in the studio and on stage, including their local hit 'Oh Boy.' Over the years, Balearic heads have come to know and love this rare 12'. Now New Islands, sourcing from the original multi-track tapes, delivers a wicked, lush reissue of the original songs along with a pair of Justin Strauss remixes. Tracklisting:A1. Original 12' MixA2.
