Notes
Dream Command was an assumed name by The Comsat Angels for this release only.
Recorded and mixed at Axis, Sheffield, England.

Fire on the Moon was the second and final album by the band formerly known as The Comsat Angels for Island records.

Some of the suits at Island decided the reason that the Comsat Angels could not break into the top 40 niche was because of their name. C.S. Angels, forced on them in the USA, just didn't seem to resonate with any of the executives at the labels. The band formerly known as the Comsats agreed eluctantly to the name change. After the recording was complete, there was a disagreement between the London and USA offices of Island, with the US office sending it back for changes in the mix among other 'suggestions'. This held release up for at least a couple of months while the execs got their act together. Finally, a compromise was reached and Fire on the Moon was the result. Considering this was supposed to be a consensus product, no
one seemed happy with it. The band didn't really like it, and neither did Island records. Ironically, the album was released and then deleted from the catalogue the very next day. This did make most of the copies in existance remainders/cutout bin.

This album was tough to find for quite a few years until it was reissued recently in a compilation set.
If you have never heard the Comsats before, this is not the album to start with as it would appeal more to the hardcore fans.
