Overview

The Comsat Angels - the legendary post-punk band from Sheffield, England, live recording from Mensa Wilhelmstrausse, Tuebingen, West Germany, on December 12, 1981. They were initially active from 1978 to 1995 with basically this line-up. Named after the J. G. Ballard short story. They debuted in 1979 with the ""Red Planet"" three-track single. This release attracted Polydor A&R man Frank Neilson and the band signed a three-album recording contract. These three albums - ""Waiting for a Miracle"" (1980), which included the single ""Independence Day"", probably their best known song, ""Sleep No More"" (1981) and ""Fiction"" (1982) - are regarded by some as their best, but only sold modestly.
