Booth and the Bad Angel was a British musical project based on the collaborative efforts of Tim Booth (lead singer with the British alternative rock band James) and the American film composer Angelo Badalamenti.
Booth expressed his desire to work with Badalamenti, and the show's producers put the two in touch.
Booth contacted Butler, recently departed from Suede to provide guitar work for the album, which was recorded through late 1995 to early 1996.
Upon returning to the UK, Booth and the Bad Angel featured on Later... with Jools Holland, with James as the backing band for this performance.
While Booth and the Bad Angel was to remain a pure one-off project,[3] a further single from the album, "Fall in Love with Me", was released in 1998 (UK number 57[1]), when it was used on the soundtrack to the film Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence.
