5.0 out of 5 stars THE MADONNA MUST-HAVE CD SINGLE!, December 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Angel (Extended Mix)/Into The Groove (Audio CD)

This is by far the Madonna MUST-HAVE CD single because of a couple reasons. Firstly, the song "Angel" which was a decent hit back in 1985 is an extended version on this CD. The ending is extended and has a cool false live clapping beat to it. I never heard a song remixed to sound live before till this mix. Also. the second song is Madonna's ground-breaking classic dance anthem "Into The Groove", but this CD contains the ORIGINAL UNREMIXED 1985 version!! The original Into The Groove is far and away the best version of the song. If you love Madonna, particularly her 1980's music, you'll be so glad you purchased this CD single!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Madonna From The Early Years, April 24, 2003

This review is from: Angel (Extended Mix)/Into The Groove (Audio CD)

After her smash hit second album Like A Virgin, Madonna was becoming a bigger star by the month. Millions of teenage fans idolised her around the world, and she managed to continue releasing excellent pop songs that became massive hits and earnt her more fans. In September 1985, Madonna released the fourth single from her Like A Virgin album - Angel. It peaked at No.5 in the UK and spent nine weeks on the chart.

Angel begins with a catchy and light beat that grows more irresistible as the song progresses. Madonna then giggles before beginning her singing. The first verse is very simple and short like most of her early songs. We are then treated to the bridge, before the chorus begins with the simple lyrics "Oooh...you're an Angel" which are repeated three times before the conclusion to the chorus, "In disguise...I can see it in your eyes." The second verse then breezes along effortlessly, as does the second bridge and chorus as the synthesiser becomes more prominent and Madonna's vocals have more of a variety to them. There's also a great solo halfway through with the synthesiser, before Madonna picks up where she left off by singing some of the song's best lines, "Now I believe that dreams come true, 'cos you came when I wished for you. This just can't be coincidence, the only way that this makes sense is that ooh...you're an angel!" OK, the lyrics are a bit corny but they're pure 80's pop fun and always manage to bring back memories. The song ends with Madonna's vocals on a high, and they always manage to provoke crazy memories of my childhood in my mind - even if I wasn't born until three years after the song was released!

The video to Angel is somewhat of a disappointment. Madonna was obviously too busy in America with her Virgin Tour, so we were forced to put up with a compilation of clips from Madonna's early videos (Borderline, Like A Virgin, Material Girl) that made up the 'video' to Angel. Despite the awful video, you have a fairly decent pop song on your hands here, and while it's definitely not the best of her early work, it's still a good pop song that can be listened to over and over.
