Comsat Angels - Our Secret

[@christopherelfers2078]

The Comsat Angels are the definition of an underrated band. They are legendary to those who know them. Not a bad legacy.

[@ssocialdrummer]

Unrecognised perhaps, but all those who know them dont underate them.

[@billgoodwin6680]

they were simply the best

[@_mikkyo]

Very ahead of it's time, I don't think the general public were quite there yet

[@Herbstregen89]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time

[@danielsnook5029]

My Air Force roommate introduced me to Comsat in 1985, thank you Mike!!

[@chrisbarlow2131]

This was about as optimistic as theComsats got. I just love the whole album. Every track would make a perfect sound track to a film. Brilliant.

[@mikewright1279]

the GREATEST BAND!!! influenced thousands and never got their credit!! timeless magic!

[@stijnhoolsteens3049]

in those days the drums have a meaning

[@davidellis5141]

They will never. Give it up!

WE R 1 . Loved the Comsat Angels and never realised this lyric. I am a Bahai and we believe that humanities future is Unity in Diversity WOW

[@tweakradje]

Played this album over and over. Still have it :) Probably the best song of the album.

Gone is my go to song. Covered by Martin Gore.

[@christopi7787]

I never got how this band was hidden in full view and missed by so many ..makes them even more mysteriously great and ime so glad the masses were so blind as it makes them immortals ..

[@tripzville7569]

Great post , could not agree more.

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

Love this. There’s a song called Marginal Over by The Wilderness (2005) that takes me to a similar place as this one.

[@kennethkeen4988]

Comsat Angels and Dance Society - two of the bands which were could be heard from one end of my street to the other back in the 1980s. Got me into trouble with many neighbours -- My album with 'Our Secret' has a scratch on it at the start so it is great to hear a clean version. Those were the dark and mysterious days when we all knew where we were going - now we admit we haven't got a clue but at least are sure of just one single thing: Death will take us all. No matter how much we struggle. :-) 2019 01 20 19:20 MET

Super sound. It gives me so much joy.

[@PaulKeutmannPLHK]

what a sound and song.....1981.......!!

[@Pantokrator-]

never give it up

[@tripzville7569]

You gave me a brand new view of this track 40 odd years after I first had the privilege of hearing it . 'let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings in the 1800s] NEVER GIVE IT UP

[@Drifterseries]

this album is in my top 10

[@johnduncan9253]

Comfortably

[@e_mairwaves3121]

I would like to know why the CS albums dont appear in apps like KZbin Music! Its a mortal crime against this amazing band...

[@floatinghomesound.3000]

Danke!

[@d.fennessy2341]

fling brilliant

[@vonvon289]

Good band,i remenber me...

[@floatinghomesound.3000]

Bedankt da !

[@tallyfitzpatrick1889]

shame they don't make deep meaningful music like this anymore. It's all pop plastic for plastic people addicted to their mobile phones.

[@chrisbarlow2131]

Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead summed it up rather nicely.

[@patthewoodboy]

song for the young and its so true :-)

[@outsidethegarden]

the trouble with re-releases with extended playlists is, the album (and this album in particular) ended on the exact right note. ineluctable, definitive, capturing the essence of the mood the album set. except then you add several cuts that the band evidently didn't think were a good fit for the album. and they're an even worse fit to follow the end of the album. ideally, I suppose, you'd put the additional tracks in the middle, after the end of Side 1 and before Side 2. but that's never what whoever re-releases the album decides to do. damn if I know why not. because this is the end of the album, the ideal close. and to the entire post-punk era: Joy Division to start out with, Comsat Angels to end. nothing more to say. then after this, the Comsats did a mind-blowing pop album, and a succession of high-quality rock albums. but nothing to touch this. they must have known they'd done more than anyone else could, to capture this mood and this reality.

[@saschakoertgen3583]

I will give

[@theamalgamatedtheory]

F this world goodbye

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

Don’t give it up
