Song Of the Day: August 15, 2005


The Comsat Angels - Now I Know


From the LP Fiction, Polydor Records (UK), 1982

While not as well known as single tracks like "Independence Day," this track must have been fairly popular on the University of Kansas's KJHK upon it's release; it appeared several times on the cassettes I mentioned in the Necessaries comment. "Now I Know" is not an obvious potential hit single, but it is lovely and contains lots of spacey, echoey guitar that should please fans of U2 and the Chameleons, and the overall vibe is not terribly far from what the Liverpool psych scene (Echo & the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes) had going.

Check out the "Waiting for a Miracle" LP. Great stuff includes "Independence Day", "Total War" and "Monkey Pilot" in addition to the excellent title track.
