Recientemente ha salido al mercado un CD que compila dos de sus últimas aproximaciones a ese ángel necesario.

as in pregnant silences (a shot, anyway).
The problem is, we never say "an angel has passed" when there's a sudden silence. But we do say "pregnant silences".

2500 hits for "necessary angel". As Jane saids, it sounds strange, but it is used. Whatever that means. "indispensable icon" is an abstraction that may resemble the spirit of the original. Let's see...
