The Comsat Angels -- I bet I'm the only fan here

[no name no slogan]

who's even heard of them, much less listened to them. Visit www.comsatangels.net and be enlightened.

1. Not the only fan

I remember when thay got in trouble for using 'Comsat' as in the satelite company. They were known as the CS Angels in these parts.

2. OMG!!!! Somebody KNOWS!!!

Yeah, they got a cease and desist order from the ComSat Satellite Corp, about 1/2 hour after they announced their first US tour (how the hell did ComSat know about the tour so quickly? Hmmmmm....)

You can still find some stuff around with "CS Angels" on it. In fact, they changed their name (briefly) to "Dream Command" in the late 80s, and released the dismal "Fire On The Moon" album.

I'm impressed you've even heard of them!

3. I used to have one of their albums

:hi:

4. Woohoo! Which one?

I'm guessing it's probably "Land" or "7 Day Weekend". IIRC a song from "Land" was on the "Real Genius" soundtrack. The song was "I'm Falling". That was about their only brush with fame-- not unless you count Robert Palmer "discovering" them after their first three records. :D

5. The one with "Independence Day" on it

When I got married, my husband weeded out my record collection if he felt there was something there that I didn't "need" and sold it. :eyes:

So, I no longer have it. :(

6. Does EVERYONE in the lounge tonight

fancy himself to be the *only* fan of a given '80s band?

8. I'm the only fan of Altered Images.

7. I'm afraid I only know of them.

I recall they played Edmonton about 198...3?

And they ended up calling themselves C.S. Angels and had a minor hit, am I close?

9. I love the ComSat Angels...

Their song "Independence Day" is my favorite. Have they ever put out
a "greatest hits"? That would be a great collection.
