Label: SILK PURSE 3401  Format: LP  Grade: Both LP and Cover are NM- Category: RARE Rock & Pop  Notes: original green label, w/ insert 
Dense, unusual blend of witty modesty and deeply self-conscious pretentiousness, Dark Ages is not the easiest album to get into, but the work is rewarding. Musically it's killer, brilliantly arranged, complicated song structures with great guitar leads and deft use of violins and female backing vocals. Very strange record for 1984. I can honestly say that few albums have ever yielded more over a longer period of time than this one -- it's the epitome of a "grower." The more you get to know DNL, the more you'll like him and his sweet-natured take on the despicable world around him.
"DAVID NIGEL LLOYD pretty much wrote the story of his life with the first track of this his first album, ‘The Streets Are Wet With Tears,’ an impassioned yet slyly self-deprecating, sarcastic tale of coming to LA. And so the whole album goes, dense with poetry and an unusual blend of witty modesty. Musically it’s a killer piece of work, brilliantly arranged, complicated song structures with great guitar leads and deft use of violins and female backing vocals. The more you get to know him, the more you realize that . . . he’s that rare misunderstood genius who’ll never let the world’s indifference turn him into a malcontent. He’ll keep right on being a genius whether or not anyone notices." —Douglas Macgowan
