Angel Mix
 

I was pondering recently upon a midnight weary...um, whether a kick-ass mix CD of songs featuring 'Angel' can be put together. Right now I'm looking for tracks with Angel in the name, but I'm willing to expand that definition to 1) Songs with lyrics that utilize 'angels' somewhat prominently; and 2) Themes of characters in games who are angels (in the biblical definition, not necessarily speaking to niceness in character traits). Hell, we may have to expand it out to include 'Heaven' and similar subject matter. But for now, I'm curious what can be come up with.

I have more, but three starting suggestions.

Soukaigi - 02 - Angel's Fear Again, which is one minute of acoustic guitar bliss.

Tony Hawk Underground - Rise Against - Like The Angels, which is technically a mainstream song, but featured in a game, and probably the best song on that soundtrack too.

The Wingless - Angel (Metroid), which might be the weakest track this remixer has ever composed, but still up for consideration.

Waiting for the rest....

Namco - Lovely Angel (Katamari Fortissimo Damashii)
Nobuo Uematsu - Angel Hands (Phantasmagoria)

Haha, that's all I have, man my VGM collection sucks. And I won't state the obvious song. :p

From SOTW: Riviera ~The Promised Land~ Full Arrange Soundtrack - The Angels Foretell Their Demise

From FFT: Holy Angela's Theme

And don't forget the Guardian Angel Sound Collection.

In before One Winged Angel reference.

Only track I know off the top of my head that I really like is DARK ANGEL from Shin Sangokumusou 3. Love the rockin' with Oriental flavor.

Angel's Fear Again is <33333.

After doing a quick filename scan on a portion of my collection, I came up with the following:

<> "Destiny Angel" from Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix Original Soundtrack
<> "Dear Falling Angel (Boss Theme)" from The King of Fighters '99
<> "Angel Flavor's Present" and "Lovely Angel" from Katamari Fortissimo Damashii
<> "Mourning Angel" from Makai Senki Disgaea Arrange Soundtrack
<> "BLACK ANGEL (BOSS 4)" from ABSOLUTE AREA -project Thunder Force VI-
<> Angel Breath" from Phantom Brave Arrange Soundtracks
<> "Burning Hearts ~Angel~" from Burning Rangers Soundtrack
<> "Wicked Angel" from Shutokou Battle 0 Original Soundtrack
<> "If There Was An Angel Here..." from True Love Story 3 Vocal Collection
<> "Angel" from DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA ~Avatar Tuner~ 1 & 2 Original Sound Track: Integral
<> "Smile of Angel" and "Angel of Magic" from Langrisser III Song Album

I'm sure I can find a bunch more. I'll search around later to see whatelse I can dig up.

I immediately thought of Tales of Symphonia, since one (maybe more, I can't remember) of the prominent characters has wings and is kind of angelic. One of the battle themes from ToS is called "Beat the angel."

And here's a partial list of songs I have on my hard drive with "angel" in the title that others haven't mentioned:

"The Black Angel Come Forth" - Alundra
"Statue of an Angel" - Brave Fencer Musashiden Original Soundtrack
"Arc Angel" - BROKEN THUNDER -project Thunder Force VI-
"Angels With Burning Hearts" - Burning Rangers Soundtrack
"Fallen Angel" - Albert Odyssey Gaiden ~Legend of Eldean~
"Healing Vision -Angelic Mix- - DDR 6th Mix (Max 1) Soundtrack
"Angel Smile" - Disgaea - Makai Senki OST
"Skip of angel" - Growlanser 2 OST
"Smiling Angel" - Growlanser 3 OST
"Angel Whisper" - Growlanser 4 Wayfarer of Time OST
"Archangels Of Sidaroth" - Jets'N'Guns
"Angel's Rain" - Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy OST
"The Wingless Angels ~Requiem~" - OZ OST
"Angel Breath" - Phantom Brave OST
"Angel's Rest ~ from Angel Breath" - Phantom Brave OST
"Honey Sweet Angel of Love (Remix 3)" - Rhythm Tengoku (GBA rip)
"Blood Angel (Battle Vs. Red Angel)" - Technosoft Game Music Collection Volume 12 ~ Discovery
"Smile of Angel" - War of Genesis 2 (game rip)

There's also a Genesis game called "Cuty Suzuki no Ringside Angel," apparently. Not sure what that is.

Just because noone would suggest this "Angels Falling" by ICP.

Now, to some real suggestions;
Iron Maiden - The Fallen Angel
Iron Maiden - The Angel and The Gambler
Iced Earth - Angel's Holocaust
Nas and MF DOOM - Some Of Us Have Angels
Puffy Amiyumi - Angel Of Love
Hunter X Hunter - Waterpipe Angels

That's just on the one hd..gotta load up the others..but yeah..there's some for ya.

- Katamari OST : Angel's Rain [I love this song, so relaxing]

Yeah I don't have much :p

Don't forget:

Angel Island Zone Act 1 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Angel Island Zone Act 2 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Thanks for pointing out the Secret of Mana track. There's a translation discrepancy: Angel's Fear is the intro from the game (a great one at that, the track), and it's commonly known as Fear of the Heavens. Hence it not showing up my list. Makes sense though that the Soukaigi track was titled Angel's Fear Again.

Impressed with the range of suggestions. And Speaking of translation: Grim Fandango - Los Angelitos.

A bunch that my search picked up:

*Angel's Thanatos - Silent Hill 2 Original Soundtracks
*Room of Angel - Silent Hill 4 -The Room- Original Soundtracks
*Beat the angel - Tales of Symphonia Original Soundtrack
*Terror ~ Angel Heart - Shadow Hearts Original Soundtracks plus 1
*Temper of an Angel ~ Mystery - Shadow Hearts From The New World Original Soundtracks
*Guardian Angel - Ibara Original Soundtrack
*Embarrassment~Murder~Shoot for Angels - Policenauts
*Angel Culture - Grandia Original Soundtracks II
*Angels and Dragons - Breath of Fire III

That's not counting a bunch tracks from gamerips and remix/doujin material.
