NotesEluding all definition, labels and pigeonholes, A Race of Angels makes music that is both epic and understated, the debut release, broadcast no. 1, is soulful, emotive, electronic, organic, thought-provoking, and above all else, completely unique. A humane vision underpins the cinematic scope of the music, inviting and compelling listeners to pay attention from start to finish. Broadcast no. 1 elicits the kind of emotional response that gives it a timeless, classic appeal, transcending boundaries of genre. XLR8R Magazine: "Peace, love, and soul from a slightly mysterious collective channelling Motown, folk, and just a dash of Soul II Soul. Deliciously uplifting, all songs (barring the intro number), are driven by a tender, quavering tenor, with synths and strings swelling to grand effect on "We" and "Michael & The Force." It all builds to a splendid finish with "Love Is the End", an epic, pulsing slab of downtempo that is both insistent and charmingly hesitant before it breaks down into a spaced-out echo-fest. A Race of Angels is truly a race unto itself." Garth Trinidad: 'A Race of Angels makes soul music with reckless abandon. Their approach is alien and refreshing to the world.' 'A Race of Angels is the sound of new-born beauty, oozin' outta speakers like electric molasses.'
