Rumaldo: Yes, but it only represents some of the music I wrote during the Angel Edge days, and there are some tunes that were intended for the original Angel Edge self titled cassette release that didn’t get recorded in time for the release. We were at that time sponsored by Coors and they wanted product (cassettes at that time), to be available at the time of our promotional concerts, so we stopped the studio sessions at 9 songs. The intent was 10 to 12 songs for a CD. One of the nine we elected to leave out at the last minute because the vocals weren’t quite how I wanted them.

Q: Revisited sounds like another cd may have come first.

Rumaldo: The reason for the ‘Revisited’ addition to the title was that I had the original 8 songs re-mastered for CD and changed a couple of very minor things on the music and CD cover, so I decided to title it Angel Edge Revisited and do a re-release. ( original Angel Edge came out in 1989 )

Q: Would you give us some background of Angel Edge?

Rumaldo: The name Angel Edge was / (is) the name of a girl from Texas that I never met, but heard about through a high school friend - that was also a musician, and I was trying to come up with a name for a band while also working on the music that at the time, my partner / producer and I were preparing to present to Coors to try to win their sponsorship. I thought the name sounded pretty cool, and my friend asked her if she’d mind my using it and she didn’t object, so that was the name of the band from that point on.

Tomorrow there will be more of the interview with Rumaldo Ortiz. till then check out his website and Angel Edge MySpace page.
