 Telepopmusik: Angel Milk (Capitol) September 4, 2005
Young Music Reviewer (Boston, MA)

(This album will contain a few spoilers on the way, so listen up only if you feel the need.)
You can imagine how mortified I was when I found out that a small amount of reviewers, even on CDNOW, own this album. It got me thinking that no one had owned it as much as any other CD. Let me tell you something. The only reason that you shouldn't need this album is if Royksopp had already given you an electronic fix. If you had read my review for Royksopp's The Understanding, I said I liked "Only This Moment" because it reminds me of a perfect mixture of Ivy and Telepopmusik. I was really ready to get this friggin album and listen to it myself, since none of the reviews I read for it really helped me.
It turns out the anticipation of trying to buy this friggin' album, after countless skips of the album because of either not enough money or other anticipating albums, was well worth it. Where we last left Telepopmusik, they were most known for the song "Breathe", which was considered the only good song on the technicolor album, Genetic World, therefore explaining what happens if you follow the popular band maneuvers of "you know the music, but you don't know us"...and kept the them going on a commercial. And like what happened to Dirty Vegas, most people know the song instead of them, and it cost them their shot at recognition and a shot at a hit album creating jazzy, and mostly dance-oriented album. Now this album has an trip-hop sound thrown in with a little bit of smoky-bar jazz vocals on a few songs. When you listen to this, you will start to think about the view of the city and looking around. It is also one of the most innovative albums, once you pay attention to the music. This album will even help you chill, if you let it. All you have to do is follow the opening instructions: "Sit still and close your eyes". Though I must warn you, "Another Day" is going to really spark your imagination. It is practically an Arts and Crafts project for your brain. Telepopmusik's last two pieces are practically a "fill space here". So you will live out your day as according to the album. From the looks of it, you may need to get it working, otherwise the title wouldn't work as well. Just so no one will call it the worst piece on the album. "15 Minutes" is one of those songs you have to listen to while you are walking or enjoying the day. It is not something you would want to listen to during your minutes of spare time to listen to music. Chances are you woudn't get it. It is not a song played for 15 minutes straight, as much as I like it to be. (You know CDs always are the best ones when they include you into the fun.)
I may have accidentally given away the secrets of the CD, but this is so you will get it easier For those who enjoy music, a bit of jazz thrown in a few songs, trip-hop and Verve//Remixed compilations, this experience of a chillout album is not to be missed...unless you don't like music from the descriptions or you already, as I said, had a fix from Royksopp's eclectic and euphoric record. In fact, Royksopp, to me, is too easy for you. Try this first and then decide. (Both of them will do for you.)

This is my first review, and this is a piece of music worth commenting on & recommending. A wonderful, ethereal and thoroughly mesmerizing follow-up to "Genetic World" that is also built around a theme: two lovers running away together from a "loser town". Not exactly a unique theme, but it links all the music together into a whole, and makes listening so much more rewarding than listening to bunch of unrelated songs. "Angel Milk" is more chilled than "Genetic World", more relaxing&romantic, and although at first I was a little disappointed at the lack of more challenging material after a few listenings I'm glad it's not just a repeat. Don't get me wrong, if you think "Genetic World" is brilliant (and I do) you'll flip over this as well, but in a more relaxed manner. [And if the only thing you've heard from "Genetic World" is "Breathe" then you're missing out big time: the rest of the album is just as good.] Having three singers with such different styles really adds to the enjoyment (as much as I like her style I don't think I could take 15 songs from Angela in one shot). Don't walk to buy this, run.

Beautiful, and I would say that every single song is good. It doesn't leave you panting for breath, but it's not supposed to; you're supposed to float. And by listening to "Angel Milk," you do.
Telepopmusik gets Close and Into Everything with their Sophomore album April 14, 2006

Do I know you from somewhere? Aren't you those people who produced "Breathe" from the Misubishi commericial, toured with critically acclaimed shows, and produced the introduction to Janet Jackson's "Damita Jo" album? Yeah! That's it! That great band who introducted me to the world of Trip-Hop. I missed you.
Angel Milk is another gem from Telepopmusik and proved to the media that they can top the dance hit "Breathe." With the addition of one new guest vocalist, Deborah Anderson (Daughter of Jon Anderson from the rock band Yes) and keeping the regular Angela McCluskey and Mau, the band managed to keep its unique solid sense of style and meaninful lyrics.
Don't Look Back - I would buy the album even if this was the only track on the CD. It is amazing. 10/10
Stop Running Away - Deborah Anderson creates almost cult sounding vocals while telepopmusik gives a soft ambient like instrumental. 8/10
Anyway - WHAT?! Mau is singing?! And he sounds good at that! Telepopmusik's instrumental drifts into left field alternative rock while keeping strictly in the lines of Trip-Hop. Mau's lyrics show devotion to a signifigant other in that he would "break every single rule for you" ..or at least he'd try to. This is a perfect track! PERFECT. 10/10
Into Everything - The first single and great choice. I don't like the instrumental part at the chorus as I feel it is too complicated but it is still very nice! This song would've been great even without Deborah Anderson's vocals but she adds a special spark to it. 9/10
Love's Almighty - I don't like this one as much but I do like when Angela McCluskey "starts it again" it's a great build up. 8/10
Last Train to Wherever - Mau's classic spoken word and rapping style shows itself on this track as Telepopmusik creates a mysterious instrumental. 9/10
Brighton Beach - Perfect. Period. 10/10
Close - More than perfect. 11/10
Swamp - This track is okay. Telepopmusik did a great job at incorporating organic instruments in with electronic style. It's not really my type of music though. 8/10
Nothing's Burning - Nothing's Burning is nothing special. 6/10
Ambushed - A very interesting interlude-like song. Deborah Anderson does great with her adlibing vocals. 9/10
Hollywood on my Toothpaste - See Last Train to Wherever 9/10
Tuesday - What?! Mau is singing again!? With the help of Deborah Anderson?! NO WAY!!! Telepopmusik provides an amazing precussion. 10/10
Another Day - Ahh...it's like a sequal to L'incertitude D'heisenberg, the instrumental track on the first album "Genetic World." IT IS A REAL SHAME THIS SONG IS SO SHORT. It could've easily beaten L'incertitude D'heisenberg. 9/10
15 Minutes - ..A nice outro..I think..
 Not enough angel milk to kill the thirst November 28, 2005

"Don't look back" is one of the best songs I've ever heard and this song alone is the best reason to get the cd. Other highlights include "Stop running away", "Into Everything" and "Close". Despite the moments of brilliance, "Angel Milk" somehow is missing something - the only true gem is "Don't look back" and no other song lives up that one. Some tracks sound like fillers to me. Still, if you need some kind of soothing balsam to your soul, "Angel Milk" would be a good choice.
