MERCURY REV THE QUIET MAN 
DESERTER'S SONGS (1998) 
good is over, spent the holiday period of Easter flying and you have to start driving again. Consoled by the fact that from now approaching a stage of pleasant musical events including several noteworthy individual performances especially in small format and a new edition of the mammoth Primavera Sound this year again have a lineup of luxury. That's why the next few weeks I have going here putting the odd album of the bands that will visit us as part of the festival, I do not know for sure if my lack of discipline will betray me and I'll finish by resorting to other forgotten discs, those that I like to claim one hundred to wind, but at least now I have already clear that I will dedicate this post to one of the 'big heads' of the famous event, the sensational Mercury Rev, who dedicated her performance to go over that for many is his masterpiece 'Deserter's Songs'. I do not dare to get wet with it, as his discography is flawless, except perhaps the last step, which costs a lot to digest, but if I have it clear that this album is wonderful and possibly one of the greatest albums released in the last twenty years within the genre. The Buffalo (New York) created an unsurpassed styling exercise in which each song is like a dream. Its evolution from the psychedelia of their early records to experimental dream-pop of this work and the symphonic-progressive rock of their latest releases say much in your favor, proving to be a maverick group of quality left. It is curious that the original intention of the band was to put an end to his career after recording this collection of songs, because of low mood that carried by the low sales of its predecessor "See you on the Other Side ', an album exceptional in that they put all their heart and they consider their best work, but as as I did not have much impact. Obviously the many praises and the unconditional surrender of a large number of followers as a result of this sudden unexpected rush of popularity retreated to assess the full career of then-sextet, made them rethink their decision and continue to provide good songs for our appreciation and thanks to it we can hear that in May in Barcelona with a big smile so exquisite pieces as "Holes", where some nice orchestrations give the starting signal for the time comes that beautiful voice that reminds both Wayne of The Flaming Lips Coney as Jon Anderson of Yes and Roger Hodgson of Supertramp, evoking all the magic atmosphere that illuminates the it was his fourth studio (the total of their discography is based on eight if you count his latest 'Strange Attractor', consisting of instrumental cuts and available only for free download), with the addition of a small horn section and those melodies house brand, "Tonite it shows" slow and pinpoint accuracy, giving way to the tiny details to convene a conciliation meeting common elements attached to the sweetened pop, "Endlessly", near the French chanson gourmets prepared as a succulent dish seasoned with a hint of sweetness and expertise Sparklehorse Sufjan Stevens coral 'Illinois', because here, too you can taste some of the environmental folk proposes it, and not to mention as notable feature of the theremin that traps us in a vine of great comfort, "Opus 40" recovering the spirit more sunny and bright sixties that gave us The Beatles and The Beach Boys at the time, and today we enjoy the hand of formations as noble as Mercury Rev, and that is to vouch for that alone suffices to say that in this track have the cooperation of large luxury Levon Holm, drummer of the legendary The Band, of which we also find the contribution of Garth Hudson in "Hudson line, treacherous night that shines in this brilliant development eclectic lighting with sax perhaps for three minutes most beautiful of the lot, "Godard on a hiway" without doubt the most charismatic of the group theme and my favorite disc by its charm and its magnificent celestial and guess chorus singing in unison with all fortunate that we can enjoy that future action, "The funny bird", which give an exotic and stimulating sober the sea with the voice of emulating digital Donahue of Cathedral stage less doom a treaty outright skill that takes them into space rock pantheon, based on juicy nervous breakdowns and guitar playing that touch the epic, and "Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp," an excellent climax to dance you can even base remember that hit eighties worn saying that the 'ritmooo, pace of nocheeee'. A masterpiece.
