Angel's Louie Louie is up and at ya available now. It's a fabulous thing in a svelt card sleeve and it deserves to deliver a marked increase in status for our SF based lassie. Ad executives, soundtrack compilers and even people with ears should be able to recognise the shimmer that this stuff gives off. What's not to license...? Moby is so back in whatever day.
She has also entered the blogosphere and you can track down her music there, direct from the source. But beware, this is a sonic elixir of substance - not some casual mis-use of style so approach this material with that in mind. It will sooth the savage beast and then kick your ass. It's time Angel got her share of the limelight, she's not going on tour and she's not gonna be in all the magazines. This medicine is to be administered as a slow drip and you're being offered the privilege of getting in on the basement. It's an album like this that makes me remember why I bang my fucking head against the brick wall that claims to be the mainstream. Hoping that my napper will open up a fissure that'll let a little of the good stuff trickle in...

you're so right, Lindsay. Isn't her word-for-word version of "Louie Louie", even down to the "mistake" in the original a pisser? "Tell It To Your Heart" is the best Lou song no one knows, done here just right, and as for Femme Fatale, this version creams the one on "I Heart NY". Lou's pretty much everywhere these days, winning Ivor Novello awards, collaborating on operas at Brooklyn's Academy of Music, nudging elbows with heads of state, being a big shot, hanging out with all the stodgy ol' fucks that'll get him another shiny medal the mrs. can make cookie shapes with or a knighthood so we can all say "Arise, Sir Looooooooooou" and giggle when his cane snaps.....hey, with all this high society mingerling, he's not going to have time to remind us of how "utterly beyond" his talents as a songwriter and guitarist are. Takes a visionary to know another, so enter our Angel, fresh from Cloud 9, who's not afraid to work with the very best around: Jason Spaceman, Britta Phillips & Dean Wareham, MX-80, Alan Vega, Sonic Boom, Luther Blue, Hal Blaine (love THAT one), Rich Stim, Craig Leon, Cassel Webb, Herb Alpert so you'll not only be doing yourself a huge favour picking this little Lou-centric artifact up from the mighty www.GulcherRecords.com website, you'll be joining the world of ACC (now entering its 3rd decade of releases), where there's never any war, the air is pure, the water clean, the animals have free reign and the music heals all wounds and wounds all heels
Now, that's what I call a comment.
Take it to (your) heart folks...
Hi,
I've justed odered my copy.
I've always been schemed by those Angel Corpus Christi, on NBT zines - I thought it was hardcore or something. It a long time I've been listening to Lurid, too.
Thanx fot the tip anyway, leg..., er, Lindsay.

The record is great :
Louie Louie, Femme Fatale ... and that mix of "I want To Boogie with You" / "Je T'Aime(Moi Non Plus)" (I love you, neither do I, Gainsbourg was one of the greatest)is far better than any miwx of 2 songs by 2 Many DJ's or whoever up to date other mix.
