“Angel Interceptor” by Ash
From the album 1977 (1996)
“Angel Interceptor” by Ash appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1995. It was first released in 1996 on the album 1977. Its best result is #43 on the John Peel's Festive Fifty of 1995. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #299 alternative song of 1995.
"Angel Interceptor" zipped out on October 9, 1995 as the third single from Ash's album 1977, on CD, seven-inch and cassette, and it takes its name from the fictional aircraft in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, the 1960s sci-fi series. Tim Wheeler and Rick McMurray wrote it, Owen Morris produced and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed.
Wheeler sings and plays guitar and keyboard, Mark Hamilton handles bass and synthesizer, and McMurray drums and adds percussion. He also took the high-pitched backing vocals, and the band weren't happy with them: the song is said to have been one reason Ash decided they needed a fourth member, and a female one.
