This is a band sure to make you dance every second on the dance floor. I feel something great is coming from the land down under and that would be Angel Theory. Charles Fenech, is the man behind this project and “Transmission” is his first EP. As you listen to the “Transmission EP” you will find that it has many musically personalities and characteristics to the music. The first notable sound that is the true signature sound that Charles has created is the cinematic sound that you will here throughout the EP. This is a vast electronic sound with orchestrated sweeping strings that creates many textures. The second most notable sound would be the pure danceable electronics mixed with the darker melodies. The vocals have more of the harsher sound that you might here with other artists in this genre. The EP offers plenty of remixes of “Transmission”. I feel that “Transmission” is a strong single that should appeal to many electro-industrial fans. The single mix of “Transmission” has a catchy sweeping melody that will pull you right it. Charles has many influences, and pays tribute to David Bowie’s “Fashion”, that Charles has made his own. As for the “Transmission” remixes, be sure to check out the “Ignited mix”, and the “Lemonsoul mix”. Angel Theory has a good start, and “Fatal Condition” the full –length debut is on its way.
