Notes
Angels & Electricity is the fourth and currently the latest album
from Eddi, released in May '98 (June in Japan).
This will be more accessible than Candyfloss and Medicine especially in lyrics, yet it maintains the artistic level the former album had. Here Eddi's singing is more flexible than ever and proves she has improved much from her Fairground Attraction days.
Mark Nevin's Kiteflyer's Hill and Boo Hewerdine's Wings on My Heels, Please Don't Ask Me to Dance have delicate melodies, sung gently yet emotionally by Eddi.
Japanese version has a very useful liner notes with the interview with Eddi, commenting on each song. No need to say the extra tracks provided only for Japan.
Finally released in the US too in spring of '99, Eddi did a mini tour with Boo Hewerdine and Clive Gregson.
