Angels in the Flesh and Devils in the Bone is a Floater album released April 1998. It was a conceptual album that explores a personal saga through the storytelling of singer/bass player Robert Wynia. The overarching story has strong messianic overtones. It obliquely describes the birth, life, death, and rebirth of an unnamed person, presumed to be a religious figure of sorts. Angels was re-released in late 2001 with new artwork. Track 14 and 8 share a history of originally being one song originally called Oof. First, Our Hero's Resolve was played and at the end where it transitions to the acoustic track (known as Zorba) it would effortlessly shift into Nothing.
