Lives of Angels was formed in the 1980s and released one album (Elevator To Eden) on an indie label (Fire) that has subsequently become a minor cult classic in certain circles. Members Gerald and Catherine O'Connell had previously been members of Mystery Plane. Musically inactive throughout the 90s, Gerald started recording again in 2001. In 2009, after a 25-year hiatus, Gerald renewed his connection with Mark Harvey of Mystery Plane, resuscitating the extensive Mystery Plane archive and working on new projects.
