To Get The Music
Unfortunately, the original Dark Angel album releases are all out
of print. However, in recent years most of them have been re-issued thanks
to Century Media
, though only some of those re-issues are in the US. The original labels
that the US releases were done under (Combat
and Relativity Records
) are now defunct. Overall though, you have a better chance of finding
Dark Angel albums in the new century than you did back in 1996.
The following are links to resources for purchasing Dark Angel albums
or trying to locate them:
- Some of the re-issues (namely "We Have
Arrived"
and "Darkness Descends"
) can be found on some of the major vendor sites such as
CD-NOW
,
Amazon
, and
Buy.com
.
- CD Banzai
offers most of the band's albums. However, many of them are imports and
so very high-priced (I.E. $25 and up). Check out their listing of
Dark Angel items
. The site offers on-line ordering including a secure order form. If anyone
has ordered items from CD Banzai
before, let me know
what you think (good or bad) for the benefit of everyone!
- You can order Dark Angel's "We
Have Arrived"
re-issue directly from Century Media's
website
. Just click on their "shop" link.
- You can search for
Dark Angel CD auctions
on E-Bay
, a really huge auction website. I've seen a few albums up at times, and some
times memorabilia such as T-shirts, posters, etc. You may also just want
to browse their
Heavy Metal CDs section
.
- You can use My Simon
to do a
meta-search for Dark Angel CDs
sold by on-line merchants. Just follow the meta-search link and click on
the album title you're interested in, specify shipping and other preferences
and then let 'er rip. My Simon
can also search on-line auctions and even classifieds.
- As a last resort you can try searching Usenet newsgroups for Dark
Angel CDs being sold. Both Deja.com
and AltaVista.com
offer Usenet news searching.
