The Comsat Angels are often unjustly overlooked for their important contribution to the music of the 1980s and beyond. This Musical Guide reassesses their position in the contemporary cultural landscape with analysis, musical examples, historical perspectives, transcriptions and input from band members. The author argues that the Comsat Angels were a band of supreme originality, intelligence and insight and this may be the main reason for their neglect by the mass audience.
Andrew Keeling is mainly known for his work on King Crimson and Robert Fripp. He is a multi-faceted composer and musician and has worked with Comsats guitarist and vocalist Stephen Fellows in the context of his Otherworld project, releasing several albums including the much-lauded Bells of Heaven. He also holds a PhD.
"Written with all the devotion and attention that the Comsats require and deserve." - Simon Armitage
