Formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1989, Mercury Rev quickly grew to become leading figures in left field alternative rock. Earlier albums veered towards experimental, off-kilter psychedelia but by the end of the decade, the band had developed their own brand of serene, piano-based Americana with the acclaimed, best-selling LP DeserterÆs Songs (1998).ALL IS DREAM, the sequel to DeserterÆs Songs, was originally released on V2 in 2001 in August (Europe) and September (North America) and boasted a more expansive, cinematic production than its predecessor (again courtesy of ex-member Dave Fridmann, by this time arguably the most in-demand producer in alternative US rock). The record was warmly received by critics and fans alike, enjoying higher chart positions than its predecessor (No. 11 UK, No. 17 US, Top 40 in Australia and in various European countries, etc.).Three singles were chosen from the album in the UK: æNite And FogÆ, the classic opening track æThe Dark Is RisingÆ (No. 16 UK) and æLittle RhymesÆ. All Is Dream remains Mercury RevÆs highest charting album in the UK to date (and second highest in the US).Cherry Red Records are proud to announce the release of a deluxe 4-CD edition of this classic album, compiled and coordinated in conjunction with Mercury RevÆs twin lynchpins, Jonathan Donaghue (vocals, guitar) and Sean æGrasshopperÆ Mackowiak (guitar, keyboards, clarinet, tettix wave accumulator).Joining the original ten-track album are a disc of B-sides, outtakes and demos (many of them previously unissued), a whole disc of hitherto unheard in-concert recordings from the accompanying tour and a French radio session (only available previously as a rare promotional CD). Highlights include the bandÆs unique interpretations of æStreets Of LaredoÆ (Marty Robbins), æLucy In The Sky With DiamondsÆ (The Beatles) and æI Keep A Close WatchÆ (John Cale) as well as newly heard compositions such as æMascara TearsÆ and æSilver And GoldÆ.This expanded edition of ALL IS DREAM is presented as a plush, hardback book containing original album lyrics, lots of visuals and new sleeve-notes by MojoÆs Keith Cameron with fresh quotes from Jonathan and Grasshopper.
