From Amazon.co.uk

If there were an award for the album with the most appropriate title, surely Telepopmusik's Angel Milk would be a top contender (possibly pipped to the top slot by Metal Machine Music. But this record is miles away from Lou Reed's deliberate atonal noise, and would therefore win any award thanks to its delightful content. Anyone familiar with the template set by Genetic World will be surely chomping at the bit for the goodies on display here. All the familiar elements are in place--the candyfloss-light beats, the grandeur of the orchestral washes, the hints of discordant electronica and clatter--but wrapped up in the most laid-back accessible tunes you could want. The use of three vocalists--the Kelis-like Angela McCluskey, rapper Mau, and new addition Deborah Anderson, whose breathy tones lend an extra sheen to her songs--only adds to the appeal. Comparisons to Air's Moon Safari are inevitable, but a closer relation would be Zero 7's Simple Things. Even then, there's diversion here, like the perfect should-be Bassey showtune of "Love Almighty," or the deceptive ending of "15 Minutes" which lasts that long, but is about a minute of tune, followed by 14 minutes of silence. Indispensable. --Thom Allott

Customer Reviews:

Just a beautiful album.......2007-03-06

So different from the last one,
I think they realized that since the last album's trip hop songs were such a hit, they did this whole album almost completely all trip hop.
Well,they succeeded, it's just amazing, male and female smooth raspy voices that truely bring you to a new place, awesome lyrics and deep downbeat instruments..just an amazing album.

How Is This Only 4 1/2 Stars?.......2007-01-13

When buying this album, I was really hoping the atmosphere of the music would be like that of the cover. Infact, at first.. that was the only reason I bought the album because of the cover and the catchy band name. It sounded very creative, dreamy, and artistic.

Little did I know how great this CD would be! This is one of the rare blind buys that I'm really grateful that I did. Not every song is the best, but all of them are atleast 4/5.

Favorites include:
Stop Running Away
Anyway
Into Everything
Close
Swamp

Relaxing and Refreshing.......2006-11-10

I love this cd. The guest singers are so mellow and sultry. My sister loves it too. If you ever want to feel good and sexy, play this cd. I highly recommend it.

What's Behind the other Door? .......2006-07-17

"When love come calling
don't look back
When love comes calling
don't look away..."

Laid-back breathy vocals deliver meaningful lyrics within a scattered landscape that smoothes into silky streaming sways and relaxing rhythms. The hypnotic elements invite you into a landscape of pop friendly electronica where human emotion and machine magic create a romantic space. With enough excitement in the energy to keep your attention, Telepopmusik's chill-out tracks are still easy enough to listen to late at night.

"All we need is peace of mind..."

As you mellow "Into Everything" there are intriguing ripples of sound and butterfly wings fluttering in sweet melodies that seem to echo inside caves by oceans. I love the visual images of falling from clouds.

"Love's Almighty" has flutes and classical piano and then turns jazzy. You may think you are hearing something from a classic movie where lovers dance in and out of shadows and light with perfect form.

Sitar-like sounds, bells and rap mix within an intriguing world music escape in Last Train to Forever. Close is smooth and chaotic all at once but maintains a low profile. Swamp has an edgy frightening quality as if something will jump out at you at any moment. Dark and mysterious, it turns jazzy.

Nothing's Burning starts out with the same tentative steps and relaxes into orchestral grandeur. Ambushed has an otherworldly mood with rockets taking off into outer space and angelic voices. This wakes you up a little, just in case you were thinking you would be falling asleep at this point. It ends almost as quickly as it begins. Hollywood has deep waves of sound reverberating through cavernous underground spaces with rap in places. Tuesday sounds like a waterfall and an outdoor choir, one of my favorite tracks that almost ends too soon.

Another Day starts with a humorous message telling us we are now on our own and "good luck." Birds, waterfalls and stars falling from the sky seem to indicate we have arrived at a tropical location. I kept waiting for something to happen...something to happen. Silence. Should I be meditating? I feel vibrations in my headphones as if someone is singing silently. No, I have not unplugged my headphones, it really is silence. lol 15 minutes is about flying, but I'm not exactly sure what happens after track 13, because pretty much nothing is happening.

The variety within a basic framework of stabilizing sounds provides heightened interest and listening to the entire CD, you can enjoy each artistic expression without having to control your environment or skip over tracks. Simply put this CD in and relax into a nighttime mood. I get it, we are supposed to be falling asleep at the end. How cute. The CD stays with you until you drift off into dreams.

Telepopmusik gets Close and Into Everything with their Sophomore album.......2006-04-15

Do I know you from somewhere? Aren't you those people who produced "Breathe" from the Misubishi commericial, toured with critically acclaimed shows, and produced the introduction to Janet Jackson's "Damita Jo" album? Yeah! That's it! That great band who introducted me to the world of Trip-Hop. I missed you.

Angel Milk is another gem from Telepopmusik and proved to the media that they can top the dance hit "Breathe." With the addition of one new guest vocalist, Deborah Anderson (Daughter of Jon Anderson from the rock band Yes) and keeping the regular Angela McCluskey and Mau, the band managed to keep its unique solid sense of style and meaninful lyrics.

Don't Look Back - I would buy the album even if this was the only track on the CD. It is amazing. 10/10

Stop Running Away - Deborah Anderson creates almost cult sounding vocals while telepopmusik gives a soft ambient like instrumental. 8/10

Anyway - WHAT?! Mau is singing?! And he sounds good at that! Telepopmusik's instrumental drifts into left field alternative rock while keeping strictly in the lines of Trip-Hop. Mau's lyrics show devotion to a signifigant other in that he would "break every single rule for you" ..or at least he'd try to. This is a perfect track! PERFECT. 10/10

Into Everything - The first single and great choice. I don't like the instrumental part at the chorus as I feel it is too complicated but it is still very nice! This song would've been great even without Deborah Anderson's vocals but she adds a special spark to it. 9/10

Love's Almighty - I don't like this one as much but I do like when Angela McCluskey "starts it again" it's a great build up. 8/10

Last Train to Wherever - Mau's classic spoken word and rapping style shows itself on this track as Telepopmusik creates a mysterious instrumental. 9/10

Brighton Beach - Perfect. Period. 10/10

Close - More than perfect. 11/10

Swamp - This track is okay. Telepopmusik did a great job at incorporating organic instruments in with electronic style. It's not really my type of music though. 8/10

Nothing's Burning - Nothing's Burning is nothing special. 6/10

Ambushed - A very interesting interlude-like song. Deborah Anderson does great with her adlibing vocals. 9/10

Hollywood on my Toothpaste - See Last Train to Wherever 9/10

Tuesday - What?! Mau is singing again!? With the help of Deborah Anderson?! NO WAY!!! Telepopmusik provides an amazing precussion. 10/10

Another Day - Ahh...it's like a sequal to L'incertitude D'heisenberg, the instrumental track on the first album "Genetic World." IT IS A REAL SHAME THIS SONG IS SO SHORT. It could've easily beaten L'incertitude D'heisenberg. 9/10

15 Minutes - ..A nice outro..I think..

dreamy fluff.......2005-12-21

Telepopmusik gives us more dreamy fluff without the annoying rap filler this time. Yay! If you dug Breathe, Love Will Damage Your Health or Yesterday Was A Lie from their first release then you'll love this. The saving grace is there aren't any junky rap tracks on here like Let's Go Again or Da Hoola that clutter up the dreamy trip hop ness of their downtempo sound. With the exception of the Mau tracks that have an annoying spoken word/rap quality to it, Angel Milk is a solid and consistent disc. Highly recommended, ultimately satisfying and definitely better than Genetic World. Three and a half stars.

Save your money.......2005-10-11

I really thought that this group had lots of potential when I first heard the song Breathe some time ago. I was very excited when I saw this latest CD from them and immediately purchased it. When I heard it the first time around I was very iffy. But I thought I would give the group a few more turns in the CD player before I made my decision. Perhaps this would be one of those CDs where if you hear it long enough it'll grow on you. Nope! In all honesty, this CD has been a complete let down. Two stars because they had ONE okay song. Basically I paid all this money for a very expensive coaster.

Yes ...Yes & Triple YES !!!.......2005-07-04

If you are one of the rare few who loved "Love can damage your health" in Telepop's 2002 Genetic World, you WILL want to get your hands on this one.

All Blockbuster ingredients brilliantly mixed and mashed like Fantastic arrangements, Dreamy (and breathy) vocals, A constant Laidback groove & expert sonic manipulation. There is NOT a single track on this album that does not work!!!

Be sure to check out :-
1. Dont Look back
2. Last Train to wherever
3. Hollywood on my toothpaste
4. Nothings burning

This is a fantastic follow up effort & is more than enough to shut up people like me who thought that Genetic World was a Fluke
