Car Wash Hair (The Bee's Chasing Me) Quote: Mercury Rev, originating from upstate New York and featuring John Donahue on guitar and Dave Fridmann on bass, achieved a synthesis of historical proportions. Yerself Is Steam (1991) was a psychedelic extravaganza that spanned three decades and three continents. Emotionally, it ran the gamut from Red Krayola's anarchic freak-outs to contemplative/meditative ecstases in the vein of new-age music. Technically, it blended and alternated pop melody, ambient droning, mind-boggling distortion, oneiric folk, martial tempos, pastoral passages, infernal noise and lyrical lullabies. Far from being merely a nostalgic tribute to an age, Mercury Rev's operation started with the hippie vision of nirvana on the other side of a swirling and chaotic music, but tempered the optimism of that program with an awareness of the human condition, and poisoned it with fits of neurosis and decadent atmospheres. - Piero Scaruffi - Quote: 'This quintet's debut album is earth-shattering. Absolutely stunning' - Vox. 'This may have been where the last ten years have been leading… Mercury Rev soar over the heads of their forerunners' - Album Of The Month, Select. 'A bit like nothing you've heard in your life. Sprawlingly magnificent.' - Melody Maker 'Truly a gorgeous one. This is going to be well up on the list this year.' - Sounds 'It sounds great, a bold, mangled noise… a fine entrance.' - NME 'Retraces the time when music and drugs were celebrated as harbingers of a mind-expanding new order. The dream state of the record sticks in your memory even after you awake, and the muse behind the band's ambitions always shines genuine and triumphant. - CMJ - cover. Note: "Car Wash Hair" appears as track 99 on 1992 Sony/Columbia version of the album. Also, on this same version, "Very Sleepy Rivers" is divided into fragments between tracks 8-98. To make the files manageable I ripped the album as a wav image and split with GoldWave. Related Torrents
