Do you have paypal. I would like to donate some cash to keep your site going. I had been searching for this tape since 1995. The first date me and my wife went on we spent listening to this tape in my crappy little apartment in east hollywood till 5am. We were both broke and in school at the time. It was a fond memory listening to this talking and eating chinese food. It was the night we had our first kiss. The rest is history. Thank you so much.

good god… this is a revelation..
i actually have copies of this one… and ‘sewn tight together / all one won’, ‘the black’ and an original of ‘planitia chryse / de-kaying’ that i ordered from pureacidmixtapes… I would kill for ‘Sparkling Blue Sea’ (which someone’s car tape deck ate unforgivingly)… i hope it finds its way here

Hey Proqxis!
I think we can help each other out. I can hook you up with Omega if you can give me a copy of Planitia Chryse / De-Kaying. Mine got eaten in a cassette deck. Head over to my website and email me a link and I will add Omega to my page of Eli tapes.

It looks like Tef has posted “Omega”, but I have some other Eli mixtapes that you may be interested in.

I have the “Whole Over” & “Grooves on Phobos” series mixed by Eli Star on cassette and cd form, if anyone is interested get a hold of me, much respect to Eli Star and all the fans on this site, the early 90′s scene was so magical, i have great memories of all the desert raves I went to see Eli spin at!

I remember Eli spinning regularly at Sketch Pad in LA…. that was the perfect venue for his sets… Dark, mellow, chill.

Thanks for sharing this!

Eli will always be one of the first Legendary underground LA DJs. The music he represented was full of intelligence, imagination, possibility and beauty. He made Ambient music relevant in the L.A. underground.
And he was cool enough to help me with my fledgling label in the early 2000s! Phunked Up Recordings

Whats that first track on side A?
Ethereal female sample, sounds like she’s singing “Videodrome.. nothing lasts forever..” over a wicked break. Love the contrast!

simfonik, thank you for an excellent site. Have you gotten a chance to post more Eli Star tapes?
I have been converting tapes to digital since ’97. If I can be any help getting more tapes on here and offloading someof the work, please contact me.
Again, thanks for a real jewel of a site and immortalizing these magical tapes of a bygone era.

THank you so much for posting these! im glad to see there are still those out there who appreciate music that will never be this good again.
I have been searching for these since 96′ as well, as I miss my box of cassettes the digital age has worked out really well when I come across these gems.
Im still looking for my favorite all time ELi mixtape “Behind the Vinyl curtain” I think it was a red tape tape, I cannot find this for the life of me.
