The World To Be - Michael Angelo


Michael Angelo's self-titled debut has had to fight to stay in front of an audience. Michael Angelo was originally released under the Guinn label in 1977, with a limited release of just 500 albums (which are traded in the thousands of dollars). The master of the release was destroyed, but according to Angelo, a "very good copy was made from my own original copy of the album," which was reissued by Void Records in 2005. Void, too, made few presses of the reissue. Fortunately, Michael Angelo is getting another chance, and Mexican Summer will be putting out a reissue on April 28th.

"The World To Be" is a two-and-a-half minute snapshot of Angelo's music, of light, dreamy, folk-rock., with lyrics like "What is the world to be, when children open their minds?" sung sweetly. Stream it below. <EC>
