Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES single on Melodic is finally in. Been waiting for this puppy for some time. We fell in love with this album when it came out donkeys years ago. Melodic have released a 7" and CD to try and make you buy the album. You should as well cos The Cold Nose is a top potential purchase. Anyway the CD single has 2 tracks from the album as well as Tunng/ Daedelus mixes whereas the 7" just has the 2 mixes on. Both of which are ace. we know you all love Tunng and you should probably love Daedelus too... or at least like him a lot. Both formats are apparently well limited. Extremely tasty....

What the label says:

Oh yes, showing off time - a reminder of the brilliant The Cold Nose album released at the end of last year. Department Of Eagles are a pair of 23-year olds who conduct their operations from Brooklyn, NYC. Once-roommates and college pals Daniel Rossen (vocals and guitars) and Fred Nicolaus (beats and samples) are the dynamic duo and have been pouring together ideas for years now . Romo-Goth / Sailing By Night is the first single to be taken from the album and features remixes from Tunng (Mike from Tunng explains, 'i loved the song , it gave me that shivery feeling... and i love the fact that it kinda had 2 distincts parts to it... in my version i wanted to blend those parts more taking the last melody and replaying it on clarenette and banjo to give it a more campfire vibe....') and Daedelus ('Department of Eagles to me is a musical singularity in the sense that they mix effortless melody and chaotic arrangement, all the danger of giving the kids the keys to the candy store with none of the stomach ache. So for my remix of "Sailing By Night" I've endeavored to just stay out of the way and tease the taffy (so to speak) to a messiness unprecedented.').
