mikehoneycutt I found this couple in the 80's when they were active and on the Color label in the U.K. - Another worthy gem from Dark Entries records in San Francisco. Dig deeper and you'll find more nuggets from the O'Connell output. Don't miss this obscure pick from "The Golden Age". Favorite track: Ascension.

Whyte Rushan it was around 4.20 when I returned from walking the dog, and On 95 BFM, the Plato's Retreat show, this wonderful tune, I was lucky enough to wait for voice break to catch the name of the artist, so here we are... so good, by the time I got to the Golden Age, I was next level, and then I melted down Favorite track: Imperial Motors.

about

Dark Entires is honored to reissue the long out of print debut album "Elevator To Eden" by Lives of Angels. Lives of Angels was the brainchild of Gerald O'Connell from London, England. In 1974 he worked at CBS studios mastering recordings from tape to disc. By 1977 he joined his first band Mystery Plane, led by school mate Mark Harvey and later joined by his soon-to-be wife Catherine. Gerald branched off in 1980 forming LIves of Angels as an outlet for his own compositions. He recorded, produced and played all of the instruments on "Elevator To Eden" between 1981 and 1983, using a primitive set up of drum machines, keyboard, guitar and tape echo. Influenced by the Krautrock sounds of Neu! and Amon Duul II as well as US psych rock, Lives of Angles crafted their own unique post-punk sound. "Elevator to Eden" was originally released in 1983 on cassette by Color Tape Records, the label started by Gary Ramon of Modern Art. Then in 1986 Fire Records remixed and re-released the album on vinyl but the band was not happy with the mixes. This reissue features the original 4-track cassette mixes of "Elevator To Eden" available digitally for the first time.
