Andi ChorleyWaiting for a Miracle Review by Andy Kellman
Waiting for a Miracle is a sorcerous first album, at least once it sinks in, after short-to-long phases of puzzlement, bemusement, and fascination. Its songs of romantic ruin, paranoia, and doubt are spare, inelastic, and ceaselessly on edge. Even when the songs are at their bounciest and most alluring, they have an insular and alien quality. The instruments are played with intrepid simplicity, but when they're heard as one, they sound peculiar and complex -- the results aren't unlike slow, stern spins on Pere Ubu's "The Modern Dance" and "Street Waves" -- albeit with insidious lyrical hooks that are innocuous to the eye and startling to the ear, like "This is total war, girl," "Sometimes I feel out of control," and "I can't relax 'cause I haven't done a thing and I can't do a thing 'cause I can't relax."..

The Comsat Angels - Peel Session 1979
LukeOne of the very first gigs I went to was Siouxsie and the Banshees but the support was the Comsat Angels who I was totally enthralled by. Only really listened to their first album, got distracted by other musics but it was a peak experience for sure. Sheffield (and the North) was a foreign land to me then. #ComsatAngels
fcI was thinking #IndependenceDay so I put this #record on - but of course it's not Independence Day yet, and that song isn't even on this #album. š¤Ŗ

The Comsat Angels - I Come from the Sun
Simon RickettsSorry to read that Yukihiro Takahashi has passed away. I saw #YellowMagicOrchestra on their Autumn 1980 UK tour, initially just to see their #postpunk support act #ComsatAngels, but that electronic sound was a class above, or ahead of, anything Iād heard, even to uncouth young ears. This was the future, right there. Solid State Survivor #NowPlaying š
Music from the 80ies and moreComsat Angels - Independence Day
Originally from their debut album "Waiting for a miracle" from 1980, this version is actually from 1983. I like this version better.
