Beyond Salvation is a 1990 album by Australian band The Angels. It became the band's first and only No. 1 album in their homeland. Produced by Terry Manning, the LP spawned five successful singles, including "Dogs are Talking" and "Backstreet Pickup". Once again as with all of the Angels releases, confusion reigns when it comes to North American releases. This album was actually released in 1989 in the states. It was released under the band name "The Angels from Angel City"(an upgrade from their previous overseas moniker Angel City). Let's get this straight they are and always will be [...]
The three piece Angel's first release was their second album, although they were a two-piece when they recorded their first, which is released second; for their two-track third album they have become ten by joining forces with seven of the dozens who make up the Strings of Consciousness ensemble. So If Angel were to [...]
You want to see what's going to be the hit of the music conferences this year? Well here it is! Dallas triphop/downtempo masters Shock of Pleasure get the techy-electro rework from long time dj/producer DJ Merritt & up and coming heavy weights Left/Right . The track has been tearing up the airways and clubs for over a month now. Full EP release (complete with full dj mix and other tracks) are set to be released in April of 2009. Be on the lookout for Chris & Justin (Left/Right) in Austin and New Mexico [...]
For the past ten months or so, I've been slagging the world's stupidest bands. I haven't singled out any metal acts for ridicule, for good reason: Metal is the best fucking genre imaginable. Exceptio... Continue reading "None So Vile: Gore Grind Extravaganza" >
On Earth As It Is In Heaven is Angel's 3rd album from 1977 and some would say their overall best. I tend to disagree with that on one level and that is the woeful production values applied here, otherwise it would have been their best. This marks the last album with Mickie Jones who was Angel's bass player since 1974. It was produced by Eddie Kramer (shame on you Mr. Kramer for the production of this album) and recorded in an actual castle in the Hollywood Hills. After releasing 2 albums of progressive styled rock with Greg [...]
More shotgun blasts of worthy releases from last year that we never got around to when they were initially released, but are all most definitely worth your time. Birchville Cat Motel Four Freckled Constellation (02.2008, Conspiracy Records) Now that Birchville Cat Motel has moved beyond his beloved moniker to analog only recordings as Our Love Will Destroy The World, Four Freckled Constellation stands as one of the few releases by the New Zealander pressed on wax. Separated into six wonderfully varied slabs of textured, [...]

Giuffria was formed by keyboardist Gregg Giuffria, who had cut his teeth in the '70s glam-rock outfit Angel. Discovered and championed by Kiss' Gene Simmons, Angel never quite broke through to a mainstream audience, but did manage to cultivate a cult following over the course of a handful of albums. Giuffria's self-titled debut arrived in the autumn of 1984. At the time, Journey was arguably the most popular mainstream rock band in America, having issued the back-to-back, multi-platinum smash albums Escape and Frontiers over the previous three years. Giuffria undoubtedly benefited from their first [...]
Il 2009 sembra portare nuove e strane collaborazioni sul fronte musicale. Infatti pare che Leona Lewis e Robbie Williams abbiano ingaggiato per i loro prossimi album colleghi (di tutto rispetto) per cercare di portare nuova linfa vitale al loro percorso artistico. Leona avrebbe chiesto esplicitamente di collaborare assieme a Chris Martin , leader dei Coldplay . La richiesta ci giunge alquanto strana visto che l'accostamento Leona/rock non pare essere dei più interessanti dato che sappiamo tutti quanto la voce della cantante sia particolarmente indicata per le ballate r&B e non per pezzi [...]

Angel Best Records Of 2008, #10 - Kalmukia Editions Mego Release Date: 02.05.08 No single album seemed to "belong" at the top this year. And so we have this: an obscure drone disc from a terribly named northern European ensemble [ Angel ]. But no other music this year can really approach the texture, subtlety, and sheer evocativeness of these four long pieces for guitar, hissing electronics, and cello. Simple enough to just drift to, but richly developed so as to still be revealing minute details after a year of religious listening. Maximal minimalism. - Nate [...]
Disregard the video. The song sounds promising.
Artwork by Andy Parrish Nothing says good times like songs with handclaps. And boy, are there a lot of good times to be had out there. So to start, here are some favorites from a time when people were so much cooler than today. I'll follow up with some favorites from more recent eras. Big Joe Turner - Shake, Rattle and Roll Big Joe Turner is the man. He's always ordering his women around and threatening them with [...]
Qualche giorno fa vi abbiamo parlato del nuovo idolo americano David Archuleta . Adesso lo rifacciamo proponendovi una sua esibizione live della canzone " Angels " di Robbie Williams e la poniamo a paragone con una performance (sempre della stessa canzone) di un'altra cantante che tutti voi ricorderete di sicuro di più per le sue forme che per la sua voce: stiamo parlando della non solo bellissima, ma anche bravissima, Jessica Simpson . Quest'ultima ci presenta una versione di "Angels" molto coinvolgente: nelle parti iniziali la dolcezza nell'interpretazione che utilizza l'artista è molto [...]
Gli inglesi sono maestri nello stilare classifiche di ogni genere, lo sappiamo bene. Quella che sto per svelarvi oggi riguarda le canzoni più cantate al karaoke in pub e locali pubblici nel corso dell'anno: a compilarla è la Performing Right Society , ente che si occupa di monitorare l'uso delle licenze musicali e raccogliere i diritti pagati da chi utilizza materiale protetto, per distribuirli poi ai legittimi proprietari. La Top10 venuta fuori dal calcolo per il 2008 è una accozzaglia miscela di artisti e stili (ed epoche) molto diversi tra loro, i pezzi [...]
I was transfixed with Mariah's performance that I passed by one of the greatest moments of the AMA's.
