Booth and the Bad Angel - Dance of the Bad Angels



Tim Booth, Bernard Butler and Angelo Badalamenti collaborating on a quirky mid nineties album that sounds a bit like Chris Rea? It happened! This is a strangely engrossing cut from said album. Butler's little riff is recognisably him and undeniably excellent. Badalamenti, we can assume, helped ensure the atmospherics where suitably engaging. Though The lyrics aren't the greatest, Booth certainly shows of his fine, fine voice. The overall effect is a little dated but pleasing. Tim booth is an interesting figure, he clearly has something about him that makes others want to collaborate with him, even if it's not immediately apparent to the distant observer. If nothing else he is the only mid nineties British pop star to appear in Batman Begins, and for that we salute him.
