Rewind: Booth and the Bad Angel - Please Fall In Love With Me

One of the most beautiful and enchanting songs of the 90s. It's criminal that thisonly made number 57 in the UK singles chart when it was released 20 years ago back in July 1998. At least its commercial under-performance put it in the bargain baskets, where I bought my copy one day without having heard the song, but being aware of Booth's work with James. The version I have featured here is the wonderful single version and not the album one... Booth and the Bad Angel were James frontman Tim Booth and the American film composer, Angelo Badalamenti


The collaboration between Booth and Badalamenti was initialized in 1992, when Booth made an appearance on the Channel 4 show Friday Night At The Dome, which set out to matchmake collaborations between musicians and their heroes. Booth expressed his desire to work with Badalamenti, and the show's producers put the two in touch. It took a few years before the pair recorded a self-titled album together, with the help of Bernard Butler on guitar. The original version of this song was included on that LP, which came put in 1996.
