Rob Dougan's 'Furious Angels' is one of the most vital records to come out in 2003, a bridge between the past & the future, as heavily orchestrated pop & soundtrack-style music comes in contact with electronica. At the center of it is Rob Dougan himself, his deeply rich, dark, & slightly gruff voice adding the element of suspense to his tension building, groove-laden, beautifully composed concoctions. Limited edition includes a bonus disc with 13 tracks, 'Clubbed to Death 2', 'Will You Follow Me?' (Instrumental), 'Furious Angels' (Instrumental), 'Left Me for Dead' (Instrumental), 'I'm Not Driving Anymore' (Instrumental), 'There's Only Me' (Instrumental), 'Instrumental' (Instrumental), 'Nothing at All' (Instrumental), 'Born Yesterday' (Instrumental), 'Speed Me Towards Death' (Instrumental), 'One & the Same' (Instrumental), 'Clubbed to Death' (dub), & 'Furious Angels' (dub).

To Call It Epic Would Be An Understatement.......2007-06-11
I await eagerly to see Dougan's future works.
Signed, Dougan's #1 fan.
Fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-02
My new favorite album.... I think that sums it all up........2006-09-15
DISC ONE is not really my thing- His voice is kinda raspy and terrible.
DISC TWO is more like it- I listen to the instrumentals more often.
So buy this!
Terrific Instrumentals.......2006-07-08
changed the way I listened to music.......2006-06-08
All the time the reviewers tell you the favorite songs, I have none really, I cherish them all the same. I can't tell you in words how well the album flows from track 1 to track 15. It is the kind of album you just don't skip ahead on, you listen to the whole thing like a story being told.
I don't know if this review will help anyone, but I just want to say how the music makes me feel inside. Rob Dougan offers you an escape from reality, if only for a little while.....

In a word? Intoxicating...........2004-10-02
One note of the cello. He must hold that one note at the begining of the title track "Furios Angels" for 30 seconds. Slowly bringing in vocals the track soon builds up with violins and snare work until the beat drops with added falcetto vocals. The title track is simply amazing.
The next track "Will You Follow Me" is a symphonic piece without Rob's smoldering vocals, yet it does not lose his touch. An adventure of a piece that holds no places to lose the listener.
"Left Me for Dead" holds all the bitterness of a broken and torn relationship. Despise fills Rob's voice where, at some points in the song, he sounds to be singing through clenched teeth. Soothing strings in a minor chord fill swing in and out of Rob's vocals in a way Ive never heard before. A jazzy beat complemented by well timed cymbal work fills the backround and holds the overall mood of the song at a steady despise filled level.
"Im not Driving Anymore" is one of my favorite songs on the album. Starting with low cellos and some crafty digital effects he sets a somber mood for the duration of the song. Rob's usual rough vocals grab the attention of the listener just in time to hear the simple melody of strings pour out over the song. Driving strings take control of the song at times only for Rob to come back singing with more passion than before.
"Clubbed to Death" is the easily recognizable song from "The Matrix." A very simple yet driving strings melody takes half of the song while the other half is filled with notes running up and down the piano soothing the listeners ear.
"There's Only Me" starts of with a vinyl scratch and a yell. Calm strings move in only to be contrasted by Rob singing in a minor chord. Simple guitar mixes in to create a very somber and mournful mood.
Rob's "Insrumental" is a creative piece done entirly with strings. It is almost five minutes long yet never gets old or boring.
"Nothing at All" has a simple beat with bass and acoustic guitar providing the melody. It is a very nice change to ease the listener's ear in the middle of an album full of driving strings.
"Born Yesterday" is a slow steady song with string and accented with well timed snare work. Throughout the song, strings and piano build up until you have a driving violin feeding the listener. It then starts anew with a cello, drums, and vocals and builds itself up into the same driving violin meoldy. Falcetto vocals add a very nice touch to an already good song.
"Speed Me Towards Death" starts with fast paced strings that pours out energy over the contrasting down-tempo beat. Robs vocals flare throughout the song and seem to excite the strings. An electric guitar riff seems to mingle perfectly with everything adding to the urgent feel of the track. Horns are added in the second half of the song and keep the melody fresh.
"Drinking Song" is a ballad with Rob's gritty vioce over a piano with a string ensemble in the backround. Even with Rob's vocals, a feeling of care fills. A well timed "Pause" lets the listener catch up with themselves before the next song.
"One and the Same" pours out a feeling of love to inspire the listener.
"Clubbed to Death 2" goes back to driving strings. With a simple drum beat and melodic strings and piano, the listener is easily reminded of the origianl "Clubbed to Death."
Taking whatever stress and anger you have out of you with the first songs, this album calms you with the latter songs, and leaves you in a peaceful and tranquil mood at the end. Whatever the reason, whatever the way, Rob Dougan's Furious Angels is going to reach you.
Soundtrack for the soul..........2004-09-21
story and sets the mood perfectly. If you like Craig Armstrong's work ("This Love" w/ Elizabeth Frasier and "Weather Storm" Massive Attack)then I think you will like this cd too. And yes, do buy Furious Angels with the bonus instrumental disc. A: you may not like his gravelly voice; and B: even if you do like his voice, the instrumentals are still phenomenal and the music can stand alone perfectly without the vocals.
A stunning work of art........2004-08-16
Rob Dougan's music is very emotional and intense, though sometimes a little repetitive. I think Furious Angels is on the instrumental and vocal side an incredible piece of work.
Never have I felt the vibes created in Born Yesterday (the instrumental version is great).
Must buy!

Rob Dougan is Amazing.......2002-11-29
I'm blown away. I'm blown to pieces by Rob's CD. It has to be one of the most worthwhile purchases I've made in the past couple of months. An album with simply Furious Angels, Clubbed to Death, and I'm Not Driving Anymore on it is worth a buy, let alone one that offers so much more. I actually haven't listened to the older classics much on the CD, simply because I want to hear the new stuff. If you're open about it, the new stuff is absolutely brilliant. I will admit that you have to be in the right mood to listen to this album, the mellow mood of it isn't necessarily exactly similar to the Clubbed to Death beat, some songs are just simply something you would hear out of a film score. This is far from bad, in fact, it's amazing to see that a man whose parents owned three records can compose and arrange such a magnificent musical epic, which is that of Furious Angels. Listen with your ears open, this isn't electronic, and its not necessarily classical. It's not electronic classical, it's simply Rob with a whole bunch of amazing songs packed into a beautifully designed CD.
Buy this if you like Dougan in the least, the classics are worth it and you will probably end up loving the new pieces as well, as long as you listen with an open ear and heart.

Its an attempt.......2006-01-02
My Own Summer with strings is dreary and somewhat sad, not expressing the shouting anger of the original. The riffs are fit for an electric guitar, not a cello.
Clubbed to Death is worse. The sound effects aren't played well with strings. Instead of sounding like a good effect, it sounds like a cat wailing, represented by strings. The bass in the stringed isnt great either. I love the original Clubbed to Death, but this one doesnt sound quite right.
It was an attempt, but it didnt work.
Restrung Reignites!.......2005-12-14
38 minutes of boredom.......2004-05-26
Neither astonishingly good or bad.......2004-04-24
The covers of Furious Angels is more resonant and sad than the original, while Chateau is probably the best song on the disc. I just wish they did a cover of the original Chateau Swashbucking cue Davis had written - that would make for a much better string quartet song.
Think Apocalyptica.......2004-04-22
This CD isn't quite as good as Apocalyptica, but if you like their remakes of Metallica and other heavy metal songs, plus if you like classical in general, you'll probably like this CD.
Apocalyptica somehow captures the speed and intensity of even the most driving speed-metal they remake. Some of these Restrung versions of fast Matrix songs, however, are slower renditions(other reviewer mentioned the Manson song, and it is definitely slower).
Don't believe the detractors, this CD is NOT as bad as Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" :)
