ANGELS FALL FIRST is the 1997 debut of female-fronted goth-metal act Nightwish.
Remaster adds two extra songs.
When then tiny independent record label Spinefarm decided to take a chance on a brand new group called Nightwish by releasing a modest 500-unit pressing of their first album, Angels Fall First (originally recorded as a simple demo), little did they know this would quickly evolve into their biggest future cash cow, and one of Finland's most successful bands ever! Believe it: such were the humble origins and expectations for both band and album; despite the already quite advanced songwriting abilities of chief architect, keyboardist, and vocalist Tuomas Holopainen, which adorned melodic power metal with gothic, folk, and classical music elements, then topped them with the budding vocal power of a still baby-faced opera student named Tarja Turunen. Completed by guitarist/bassist Emppu Vuorinen and drummer Jukka Nevalainen, the nascent Nightwish were in fact merely scratching the surface of their commercial potential (and ensuing stardom), at this stage; yet they showed amazing courage and versatility on forceful tracks like "Elvenpath" and "Know Why the Nightingale Sings," the Finnish folk-steeped "The Carpenter," and an early glimpse of their latter-day fascination with musical theater in "Beauty and the Beast." So even though there were still several areas where the precocious bandmembers required additional seasoning (e.g. replacing Holopainen's unsatisfying vocal efforts, leaving folk-metal aspirations for other Finnish bands to exploit, and reigning in occasional lyrical transgressions like those of "Nymphomaniac Fantasia"), Angels Fall First arguably remains the band's most eclectic album (unfocused to its detractors), and, for this very reason, a favorite for many of their fans. And in the greater scheme of things, Nightwish's unexpectedly popular debut easily trumped most of the era's less risk-taking, female-fronted goth-metal bands, and felt like a veritable tornado of fresh air blowing through the Scandinavian extreme metal scene -- hence its success among female consumers. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Angels Fall First

Kamelot: Khan (vocals); Thomas Youngblood (guitars); Oliver Palotai (keyboards); Glenn Barry (bass guitar); Casey Grillo (drums).
Additional personnel: Sascha Paeth (guitars); Miro (keyboards); Amanda Sommerville, Thomas Rettke, Robert Hunecke, Cinzia Rizzo, Rizzo (background vocals); Simone Simons.
Metal maestros Kamelot scored a major triumph with 2007's landmark symphonic opus, GHOST OPERA. An evocative blend of bulldozer metal, twisting prog, and grand, opulent strings, GHOST OPERA'S fusion of classical and heavy sounds was about as seamless a finished product as the genre's ever seen. With this reissue, the band has added on a second disc of thrilling live material, showcasing Kamelot's significant chops from a show in old-world Belgrade, Serbia. Live songs like the oppressive "The Human Stain" and the epic, windswept title track take on a whole new dramatic life against the backdrop of mysterious Eastern Europe.
Usually for a rock album to be reissued as an expanded version (with added videos, live cuts, and unreleased tracks), the album in question would have been originally released some time before, and reached classic stature among rock fans. Which makes the ...
| | Nickelback Dark Horse CD (2008)
Angels Fall First
$15.65  
Nickelback: Ryan Peake, Chad Kroeger (vocals, guitar); Daniel Adair (vocals, drums); Mike Kroeger (bass instrument, bass guitar).
Audio Mixers: Chris Lord-Alge; Mike Shirley; Joe Moi; Randy Staub .
Audio Remasterer: Ted Jensen.
Nickleback's sixth album doesn't stake out new ground, but this Canadian post-grunge quartet is known for their allegiance to old-school hard rock values. That allegiance is borne out on 2008's DARK HORSE, a collection of riff-driven rockers and power ballads that thrives on simple chord progressions, distortion-heavy guitars, and lyrics about partying and other carnal delights. The singalong single "Gotta Be Somebody" may flirt with radio-ready pop, but most of DARK HORSE revels in denim-clad, bad boy swagger.
It's hard to forget that Nickleback is a mainstream act, however, especially given the potent, high-gloss sound of the album, courtesy of veteran producer Robert "Mutt" Lang. Like Def Leppard, another Lang-produced band, Nickleback's rock is packaged prettily enough for soccer moms, a truth evident in accessible ballads like "I'd Come for You." But longtime fans needn't despair: the band still packs a punch (see the ...

Angels Fall First
$17.65
Deluxe Edition
Audio Mixer: Stefan Glaumann.
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings ...

Angels Fall First
$18.45
This special edition feature 4 groundbreaking videos from Spike Jonez, Michel Gondry, Seb Janiak, and Roman Coppola as well as an album featuring Da Funk, Around the World, Rollin' & Scratchin', One More Time, Robot Rock, plus remixes of Scott Grooves, Ian Pooley, and Gabriele, and special audio remixes of classic Daft Punk tracks.
Daft Punk: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Thomas Bangalter.
Charting the first 12 years in the career of the beloved French electronica duo, MUSIQUE VOL. 1 features many of Daft Punk's finest moments. While the collection consists largely of tracks from the act's three studio albums--most notably the ridiculously infectious dance-floor anthems "Da Funk" and "Around the World," the house hit "One More Time," and the giddy "Technologic"--the set also features three club-minded remixes of other artists' songs and the excellent title track, which essentially established the groundwork for Daft Punk's unmistakable robotic club sound.
Daft Punk titled their hits compilation with an indicator (Vol. 1) that more would be forthcoming, and it's easy to believe that in a dozen years, another dozen singles could be collected with no drop in quality. Unlike their contemporaries coming of age during the rise of electronica, Messrs. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo structured their tracks with drop-dead hooks, peerless beats that were perfect for the dancefloor or the living room, and an innovative production sense. Although Musique, Vol. 1: 1993-2005 won't ...
