Waiting for a miracle, but nothing ever happens...



The Comsat Angels - Waiting for a Miracle




The Comsat Angels - Time Considered...pt. 1
The Comsat Angels - Time Considered...pt.2





TheComsat Angels - 7 Day Weekend





The Comsat Angels - Land














Awesome, innit? One of my favorite bands ever(ok ok so I have a gazillion fave bands, sue me or else!), which was hugely overseen and exceptionally amazing. The Comsat Angels formed in 1978 in Yorkshire, England, and formally disbanded in 1995. They were powerful, atmospheric, and bleak, owning such thunderous basslines and ethereal guitars. After opening for Pere Ubu and Gang of Four during the 80's, modest reception in the European mainland, and many attempts to evolve their music looking for commercial appeal, they faded into musical dust. Though that doesn't mean that albums like "Sleep No More", "Waiting for a Miracle", and "Fiction" are probably some of the finest post punk albums ever made. Since I couldn't manage to upload the three of them, here I offer a better deal: one little album called "Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-precious Stones", which can be considered as a live compilation of their earlier albums, for it was recorded as a BBC Session by John Peel in 1979.


Enjoy!!! :)

I was nor in Heaven or Las Vegas nor in a Kitchen of Distinction. I was Slowdive-ing with Catherine Wheel in a Twilight Sad listening to Soda Stereo.

I've been extremely busy with college. Too much sewing. Too much sketching and making flats and Photoshop and shitty shit. Bear with me. Or else. So I'm back with some of my listening pleasures that I've fallen in love once again after a few years in obscurity somewhere in the corners of my bedroom. I used to listen to most of this into sleep almost every night, though it always makes me feel like getting high and twirl around with some fucked up lover. Red lights and everything. At 3 in the morning.




Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas




Kitchens of Distinction - Love is Hell (one of my favorite albums. ever.)




Slowdive - Souvlaki




Catherine Wheel - Ferment (I can listen to "I Wanna Touch You" for days and never get tired.)





The Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead (newest addition to such a catastrophic playlist.)





Soda Stereo - Signos (They have always been a synonym of "sex" in my opinion, nothing sounds dirtier than Soda Stereo.)

Enjoy! :)
