Comsat Angels

I know for a fact that I have at least one of their albums,but it has been so long since I last heard it that I forget what they sound like.I think from what I remember a little, the little that I do remember of this band's sound is that they were a guitar oriented band mostly,and had some mixed synths,so I take it that they sound somewhat like A Flock Of Seagulls somewhat then?

An excellent band in every way imaginable. These guys are one of my top five favorites. Comsat Angels initially were a post punk band. However, they increasingly added synths to their later albums. Some critics said their sound became more commercial

Would love to see these guys get their stuff released on cd (non-bootleg--as I read on an earlier post somewhere). Another of my favorite bands--great stuff!!!!!!!!!!

Randy: "Seven Day Weekend" & "Land" are available on cd. They were reissued in 2000 by the label, connouisseurcollection.co.uk. These also have bonus tracks, etc.

There other albums including "My Minds Eye" & "Chasing Shadows" are easy to find used,

I just picked up the 4-CD set called "I'ts History" at a local CD/DVD shop. I heard it *might* be bootleg so it suprised me when I saw it at this particular shop (Silver Platters) because they don't deal in bootlegs. Another thing is it was only $28.00
