" They have been credited as being an influence to current post-punk revival bands, such as Blacklist, Editors and Interpol.

Their music has been extensively reissued and recompiled since 1995 by various record labels.
- The Comsat Angels var ett post-punk band från Sheffield, England, aktiva 1978 - 1995. Bandet tidiga sound har kallats: "abstrakta popsånger med sparsam instrumentering". Bandets första singel: "Red Planet" kom ut på ett mindre bolag 1979, och attraherade Polydor som skrev kontrakt för tre studioalbum. Dessa kom ut 1980-1982, kändast är låten: "Independence day" från debut-lpn: "Waiting For A Miracle". Inget av albumen sålde speciellt bra, Polydor förnyade ej heller kontraktet. Efter Polydor hamnade Comsat Angels på mindre bolag, samtidigt skapade man ett poppigare och därmed bredar sound. Under sina första år spelade bandet live tillsammans med band som: Siouxsie & the Banshees, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Depeche Mode, U2 (en 18-dagar turne, 1981), Captain Beefheart, The Sound, Wall of Voodoo, och Gang of Four. De turnerade två gånger i USA, men blev kändast i Holland.
