The Comsat Angels on the tube and in concert circa 1981

The Comsat Angels continue to be one of the most underrated of the crop of post-punk bands who would come to typify the icy detachment and morose beauty of fell under the "goth" banner (i.e. legends such as The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie And The Banshees as well as similarly underrated brethren like The Chameleons and The Sound); their first three albums (re-issued lovingly in the 2000's after years out-of-print by the Renascent label, but now again maddeningly unavailable) are all essential, with their sophomore opus Sleep No More standing as easily one of the most audacious and sonically arresting post-punk "pop" albums to see creation in the 80's. Here we have the group miming said album's title track amusingly behind translucant curtains on Belgian TV in 1981, while following is a lo-fi, but essential live performance of "Be Brave" (one of my favorite songs from the band) from the same year, supposedly in Germany.

Da stili classici ma sobria che si basano su colori neutri e disegni di veramente stili occhio popping e innovativi che caratterizzano gli ultimi look per pezzi di tempo, si è sicuri di trovare proprio quello che serve per tutte le vostre occasioni importanti.
