This is a classic! For all you intelligent rock fans, this album is a must-have! I first listened to it from a friend's vinyl copy 19 years ago and it has never failed to amaze me all these years! If there's an album that comes close if not equal the great works of The Alan Parsons Projects' "Tales of Mystery & Imagination" or Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon," this enigmatic and hypnotic album is it! If the melodies and tunes take you to the heavens and the far reaches of space, stay calm. Angel Station will bring you back to earth. Thank you, Manfred Mann's Earth Band!

I first heard this album 19 years ago from a friend who lent me his vinyl copy. If there's a group that comes close to the progressive rock works of the Alan Parsons Project's "Tales of Mystery & Imagination" or Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon," then Manfred Mann's "Angel Station" is it! No less, a classic and masterpiece in its own right! A definite must-have for any self-respecting and intelligent rock fan. If the melodies and tunes take you to the heavens and the far reaches of space, stay cool. "Angel Station" is there to bring you back to earth.

I think this album is at least the equal of "Roaring Silence." The songs are memorable and infectious - they stay in your head for hours. While this is an Earth Band trait, it's also the hallmark of a "good" song. I'm not a fanatic about my music - I just know what I like, and this album is certainly on that list.

I wore out my vinyl disc of Angel Station years ago and was never in the right place at the right time to pick up the CD. It comes and goes so fast because production runs are so limited. I happened to be checking and noticed it was available. I was lucky because about two weeks later the supply had dried up again. The disc does not disappoint at all. Brought back great memories and is just as good today as it was 30 years ago!

ANGEL STATION is a great CD by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Some critics claim that when Mann formed his Earth Band, he went in over his head, but that is mistaken, because, unlike his work with the Manfreds, his 70s/80s albums are actually the work of a mature artist fully realizing his talents. Mann's (and singer Chris Thompson's) belief that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 on drug-smuggling charges was unjustly convicted makes ANGEL STATION an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

By listenning to this album you are stepping in misterious but joyful world.You see and hear things that are strange but pleasent.Ii is all your feelings that you could not express them in better way.After this many years I still enjoy it alot.

This remaster looks to not have the naked bat-woman's breasts covered up as in original American releases. The new Manfred Mann lineup doesn't skip a beat with this effort. As usual Mann uses a collection of top-notch songs re-worked as only the master-arranger can delivering a dark, mysterius effort.
