 Unoriginal song selection and boring arrangements October 3, 2007

I'm afraid I can't recommend this album as highly as all of the previous reviewers. I bought this album because I like the sound of children's voices; my CD collection features albums by groups like Libera and The Cottars, as well as young singers like Hayley Westenra and Chloe Agnew. I thought that this album would be similar. Unfortunately, the problem is that it is too similar to those other albums!
The kids sing fairly well (they're on key), but there didn't seem to be much emotion (I noticed this especially on songs like "Even Though You've Gone", which I would expect to be a little more... well, moving). That's not entirely the kids' fault, though. I don't think the selection of songs was very good. Seven out of the eleven songs have been covered by Hayley Westenra alone, and she did a better job. There are so many beautiful songs out there; to choose to cover songs that other people (quite recently) made famous doesn't seem like a very good decision. I also wasn't crazy about the arrangements. In what I'm assuming was an attempt to make all the songs sound ethereal, the producers ended up with an album of songs that sound boringly similar.
Will there be another album from Angelis? I suppose it all depends on when the boys' voices change. If there is another album, though, I hope the songs are chosen a little more carefully. And releasing a version in North America wouldn't hurt, either. I'm feeling a little annoyed after shelling out so much money for an import that didn't live up to my expectations!

Simon Cromwell has done it again. First Il Divo and now these talented young people. They truly sound like angels. Six magnificent children who will go a long way in music. They are amazing.
Angelic indeed February 8, 2010

This is a beautiful and aptly named CD; the voices are like those of angels.
Very Good Group January 27, 2010
USMC Sniper (Northwest U.S.)
This CD is very good. They are no longer performing as a group which is our loss. Their voices should be heard by millions in my humble opinion. It is well worth the money.
