Waiting
For A Miracle / Sleep No More

Fiction
- RPM re-issues

Once
bigger than U2, Sheffield's Comsat Angels were
always too musically thoughtful and Stephen Fellows
too melancholy of voice to break through. These three
albums (to the shame of major labels, RPM
Records have lovingly annotated each one and provided
excellent extra tracks) comprise their Polydor
Records output.

| 1980's
sparkling Waiting For A Miracle featured
Independence Day, their generally acknowledged
masterpiece, but Missing In Action, the fiery
B-side Home Is The Range, Total War and
a slew of others run it close. They would never produce
such a consistently outstanding batch of songs again,
although lesser bands would have sold their souls to
produce Sleep No More and Fiction . Later,
they'd produce Will You Stay Tonight, their other
finest moment, and have their cudgels taken up (assuming
cudgels can actually be taken up) by Robert Palmer
of all people. The Comsat Angels deserved better than
footnote status of course, but these packages provide
some measure of justice. |
