There's a notable progression in A Convenient Excuse Pt. 2 with Cardopusher appearing to be a producer in fast-forward stride. If Pt. 1 (BNR 183EP) was a survey of the darker side of '80s industrial and EBM, Pt. 2 takes a more focused look at the sort of "haunted Italo". Four of the five tracks are up-tempo and club ready this time, driven by vicious arpeggios and bit crushed drums. Skinny Puppy atmospherics still make their appearance, and it is still music to play a tabletop game of Shadownrun to.
