2025 is the 40th anniversary of the formation of The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus. Rumours of Angels is a collection of recorded and live material that spans a period of significant transition for the project. Rumour of Angels was recorded in between the full studio albums Mirror (1990) and Beauty Will Save the World (2015). It includes material from the EP collections, Liturgie Pour La Fin Du Temps (1992) and Paradis (1995), as well as live recordings from Leipzig: reflecting here something of the sense of the immersive multi-media practice, elements of ritual, enigmatic samples and field recordings that were constructed for the live RAIJ live experience. This collection also includes studio material recorded specifically for the release of a 3 CD back catalogue compilation After the End by French label Infrastition in 2013. It tracks a diverse range of recording and performance styles for RAIJ and documents the end of the first active phase of the project and, with the recording of 'After the End' and 'Suspended on a Cross', the beginning of the new. The collective is much changed and much the same. There are clear connections between the early project and today, and some of these connections are traced here on Rumours of Angels. RAIJ continues to enjoy a certain reclusive status and to confound musical classification with a commitment to a unique form of musical and artistic experimentation.
