Ten Favorite Comsat Angels Songs
(The Comsat Angels are my favorite post-punk band, though their high-water mark came very early, with their first two studio albums—Waiting for a Miracle and Sleep No More—and their BBC sessions later collected on Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones. Here, in order of preference, are my ten favorite tracks they recorded, with notes when the version I prefer isn’t the official studio release.)

Eye Dance
Be Brave (BBC Sessions version)
High Tide (BBC Sessions version)
