Expanded CD reissue by cult dream-pop band Lowlife, who released a string of acclaimed albums between 1985 and 1995. Lowlife were formed in Grangemouth (Scotland) in 1985 when original Cocteau Twins bassist Will Heggie joined former Dead Neighbours members Craig Lorentson, Grant McDowall and Stuart Everest. Their atmospheric, moody soundscapes were often compared to New Order, Comsat Angels and - yes - the Cocteau Twins, yet the band received widespread acclaim over the course of six LP's. During 1988 plans were laid for the next Lowlife album, and in the summer the band started to record assorted demos on an old Portastudio and even more ancient two-track Revox. These songs were to form the basis of Godhead more than a year later - as well as what has become known as The Black Album, something of a holy grail amongst Lowlife devotees. Godhead is the 3rd full studio album by Lowlife, and was originally released in 1989. Produced by the band and Ted Blakeway, it also marked the departure of guitarist Stuart Everest, and also saw the group become an albums-only act. Long unavailable, this new remaster also features 5 bonus tracks, comprising the first half of the legendary 'Black Sessions' demo album, released in 1988 in a limited edition of just 250 copies.
