The Comsat Angels were a post-punk band from Sheffield, England, active from 1978 to 1995. Their music has been described as “abstract pop songs with spare instrumentation, many of which were bleak and filled with some form of heartache.”
A great tune played by Tensnake in his recent BIS mix, “I’m Falling” was also featured in the movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer. Awesome jerky 80s pop, it even has some panpipes!

The Comsat Angels – I’m Falling
great band!!!
…maybe “i’m falling” is not among their best songs, though!
im new to these guys any suggestions??
Loved the Comsats, and this track was up there with some of their best.
Independence Day was probably THE track.

After the rain, the cutting edge, be brave,on the beach,somethings got to give,what else!? you cant go wrong with these songs they are all great
I am watching the movie Real Genius right now for the millionth time. I love this song.
‘At Sea’ is a fantastic song. Very early Bauhaus.
Great band!Great choice of song as well. One of my favourites. Good job on those edits too! a x
FIRST TIME I HEARD OF THEM WAS WHEN I HEARD THEM ON THE MOVIE ‘REAL GENIUS’ A (1985) MOVIE. THEY SOUND AWESOME THERE. TOO BAD THEY DIDN’T KEEP GOING, MIGHT HAVE HAD MORE HITS…
Real Genius is probably my all time favorite movie!!! So crazy and outrageous and all around scientifically righteous!!!! :D I love The Comsat Angels song “I’m Falling” I’d like to dowload it, I’ve been looking for-EVER so maybe I’ll find it here (or atleast sometime today) :)
