The tune of "HaMal'ach" that you are familiar with is most likely the
version recorded by D'veikus. I believe the album is D'veikus 4.
In general, the album as I remember it is chock-full of memorable tunes,
destined to be played endlessly at simchas. Also on that album are "Lecha
Dodi" and "Mi Bon Siach". It's a good listen, but can sound a bit
homogenized after a while.
