All Angels Third Album - Fly Away

[nicola]

I like the album - I don't like it's central American theme, and it's summery concept is a bit out of place in January, but that considering, I do like it.

I have grown to dislike one of the girls voices, but I don't know which one she is. She has a big solo in 'All Love Can Be' which I didn't like much. Her voice has grown too much and has lost the purity of the younger years. I didn't like their rendition of that song - it was too loud and over produced - I was yearning for a softer version, as I do love that song.

I guess I need to write a review for this on the website so I won't say anymore now.

Hi Roger,

I was about to address you as Gerrit but now, I've finally listened to the sample tracks for the first time and I agree, it's just some kind of pop album, not sure what kind though. I'd assumed that it would follow the pattern of their previous releases, but it doesn't.

It's entered the album chart at no. 54 today, 14 places lower than its initial midweek placing had indicated. Based on the limited early sales information that I have, it will have sold about 4,000 copies so we can see why it was delayed until now - like Hayley's Winter Magic it wouldn't have got into the supermarkets, probably not even the top 100 (before Christmas).

Cheers, Dave

If it were released in September, I'm not convinced that it wouldn't have got a supermarket slot. Christmas, yes, but in September, it would have been fine.

I'm no longer a fan of All Angels, so I won't be buying this album.

Your loss, Richard.

Hello Nicola and everybody!

'Fly Away' has entered this week's Classic FM Chart at No.2. I'm surprised it qualifies for the classical charts.

Hello Richard,

That's weird, because it isn't in this week's Classical Artist chart at all, it looks like some jiggery-pokery (or arm-twisting!) has been going on between Decca and Classic FM!

And Roger needs a new passport!

Dave

[Richard]

That's very interesting, Dave!

No, not Roger's passport!

I now suspect bribery. 'Fly Away' has dropped to No.6 in this week's Classic FM Chart, but it shouldn't be there at all.

Hi Richard, I too find it surprising that it's in the classical chart, but it's now been included in this week's Classical Artist chart too.

No wonder they had to create a separate Specialist Classical chart with the lines being increasingly blurred like this!

Cheers, Dave
