5.0 out of 5 stars A timely Reminder, 17 Mar 2006
This review is from: Sleep No More (Audio CD)
This album is due for release in April. The great thing about this, is that it will give a second opportunity for people to get access to the Comsat Angels finest hour. Never a commercial record but who cares? This is a record that is very much in the Unknown Pleasures genre in its sounds and existential focus. The outstanding opening track Eye Dance with its guitar power chords and psychedelic chord interplay backed by an aggressive drum pattern makes it such a wonderful cathartic experience. Gone proves that putting the drums high up in the mix can produce a wonderful record. This reminds me of the Gang of Four in how they drift in and out with their instrumentation and rejecting all the familiar predictable constructs of composition. But lets face it the Comsat Angels were pioneers in their own right. They never succumbed to the bland, predictable and throw away pop of the 80's. Sleep No more can still be played and still has its essence intact. We can see their influence in both the Bloc Party and Interpol. Mik Glaisher's drumming is extremely prominent throughout the record giving the record its strong foundations which allowed Steve Fellows, Andy Peake and Kevin Bacon to improvise without concern about the backbone of the sound. Listen to this, if you old you will find out just what you have been missing! If your young you have just found your Holy Grail!! Both ways just thank you lucky stars you got here in the END!!
