Polygram Records Spotlight - October, 1997 - Wingless Angels – Keith Richards

As Richards likes to describe it, Wingless Angels make “marrow music.” As old as time itself, this is the Nyabinghi style—calling on the drum and voice to make music that cuts right to the bone, stripping away all but the essence, the raw and righteous spirit of the common people.

Polygram Records Spotlight - October, 1997

Wingless Angels is the debut release from Keith Richards' Mindless Records. The Nyabinghi, to which the Wingless Angels belong, are a strict Rastafarian sect; Old Testament dreadlock devotees who worship the Emperor Haile Selassie. Their Grounation drum sessions can last for days, lit by bonfires at night, with relay teams of drummers generating a spiritual force field, Wingless Angels' chants ancient and modern, evoke the spirit of tranquil resolution that the presence of Haile Selassie aroused among the Dreads. They are a potent magic, invoking Biblical cosmology to heal and inspire: Noah's Ark on 'Keyman'; radiant unity with the Almighty on 'No Dark There'."
