The entire album was recorded in 10 days. Frontman Steve Fellows explained how they were able to accomplish this: "We were totally organized. Arrangements, tempos and all the lyrics were sorted out before we went in." One of the most underrated acts of the early 80's, the quartet twinned together sparse, economical musicianship and a large sound. Perhaps too dark for populist tastes at the time, Comsat's music has been described as "abstract pop songs with spare instrumentation, many of which were bleak and filled with some form of heartache." Unjustly overlooked for their important contribution to music, their influence however, is enormous; the haunting atmospherics and simply played, but expansive nature of their music having a direct effect on countless post-punk revival bands including Blacklist, Bell Hollow, Editors and Interpol. ## Images ![Waiting for a Miracle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41XXMIugHzL.jpg) ![Waiting for a Miracle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gtyfHREGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great remaster, LESS THAN PERFECT sound (read the full text) *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017* The Comsat Angels had its catalogue rescued twice in its history, for the first time in 2007 by Renascent (a label that died all of a sudden), and now once again. Just like the last time, each album has all the b-sides, outtakes, and demos. This time however, you get a few tracks more, HOWEVER in my opinion they aren't really needed, since the extra demos and live sessions do not sound any superior to the album versions. All in all, you are getting a good value for your money.HOWEVER, this remaster is not as good as the last one (which is out of print). This new group of audio engineers decided to raise the volume just a tad higher, for some stupid reason that sure sounded smart at the time. As a result, the 2007 remaster from Renascent ends up sounding BETTER (albeit only slightly), with more dynamic range. This new remaster is more compressed, and deserves an A from me, whereas that previous release is a stellar A+.HOWEVER, it should be noted that the 3 tracks that make up their debut "Red Planet" EP (Red Planet, I Get Excited, Specimen #2) were actually audibly IMPROVED for this release, making it superior to the Renascent release at least in that regard, and more pleasant to listen to.Still, you might want to get BOTH current versions of this album, since the booklet with background info is worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitive UK post punk *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2007* Fans of The Sound, Echo and the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, Psychedelic Furs first LP, and maybe even Joy Division should give a listen. While living in the UK in the late 70's I considered The Comsat Angels to be a great singles band. While "Red Planet" doesn't appear here, pre Polydor I guess, "Independence Day" and "Total War" fit in well as part of their first full length effort. This music represents a fine era in rock music. Headiness, great songs, lyrics that say something, and of course drums, bass, and guitars. I reviewed this because I feel it is an important recording. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Unknown Band *by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017* Great album, great packaging. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/31794030-waiting-for-a-miracle](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/31794030-waiting-for-a-miracle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
