looking for a song by the Comsat Angels was essentially how I came upon MOG, just a short 3.5 months ago. I've been trying to build the most comprehensive playlist of my time in the New Wave heyday. The heavy hitters were no problem to track down but what I was looking for were the more obscure tracks I remember hearing.The Comsats sound was originally rooted in the late '70s early '80s post punk scene (Sheffield, England to be exact) but by their third and fourth albums they had incorporated a more synth pop sound. They eventually would go back to their post punk leanings but unfortunately most of their original fans had moved on. Their earlier records have gone on to cult status and have thus brought a renewed interest in the band. The song that I had been looking for is from their fourth studio album, _Land_. Both synthy and poppy but not post punky.
