Amongst Those Clouds LP

ELYSIUM (a.k.a. BURNING SKIES OF ELYSIUM since 1985) formed in Horley, Surrey (UK) in the autumn of 1981. Their first release was the 4-track AMONGST THOSE CLOUDS cassette-only EP from 1983. It contained their first two songs recorded at Rendezvous, John Ratcliff’s south London studio in March 1982, together with another two songs recorded at Ambiance Recording Studios, Burgess Hill, in January or February 1983. Later joined by saxophonist Ron Howe, their first vinyl release came in September 1984, the ‘Summer House’ b/w ‘Through Flak & Flak’ 7”, recorded at Ambiance Recording Studios again. One song from these sessions entitled ‘Emporium’ remained absolutely unheard and forgotten. Until now.

We have gathered these seven early songs to create our extended vinyl rendition of AMONGST THOSE CLOUDS, presented as a limited, hand numbered edition of 120 copies, housed in a matt finish sleeve with a double sided insert and download code.
