Product Description

Amazon.com's Best of 1998

For 1998, Mercury Rev did something completely different: they shunned the psychedelic rock of their previous ways and went for baroque. Literally. On Deserter's Songs, bowed saw plays as prominent a role as guitar, and most of the songs are ballads, not anthems. There's a tender, folksy quality here that was missing in the group's previous (albeit also great) recordings. Mercury Rev have always been difficult to classify; yet on this album they make the pigeonholing even more difficult. --Jason Verlinde


From Amazon.com

Years before the slacker-minstral chic of the Elephant Six Collective (Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo, et al.) strummed their way into left-of-the-dial fame, Mercury Rev were busy composing their own psychedelic soundtracks for nothing in particular. It seems as though we've heard it all before: lo-fi is predictable, the musical saw is downright ubiquitous (yeah, it shows up on Deserter's Songs) in indie rock, and the mellotron's chords are all too common. Yet despite the trendy instrumentation, Deserter's Songs is anything but predictable. "Tonite It Shows" is a mysterious lullaby, "Opus 40" is trippy keyboard sing-along, and "Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp" has more Stereolab pop than Son House Delta blues. It's one of Mercury Rev's most unique and consistent efforts. A subdued yet rewarding trip. --Jason Verlinde

5.0 out of 5 stars 音の桃源郷, 2009/8/9
By あかちゃん - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
98年リリースの4th。NMEの年間アルバムチャートで1位にランクインされるなど、ヨーロッパを始めとする各国で大きな反響を見た屈指の名盤。

テナー&アルトサックス/トロンボーン/ピアノ/バイオリン/シンギング・ソー/テルミンまで、数多のインストゥルメンタル群が超自然的に絡み合い、一切の余剰を廃した純度100%の美しいサイケデリアを、独特のヴェールに覆われた夢幻の世界を創出していく。ジャズやブルースのクラシカルな匂いをも織り込みながら、途轍もなく美しい純白のメロディが繊細かつ壮麗なオーケストレーションと絡められていくその様は、本当に筆舌に尽くし難いまでに美しく、純粋で、この上ない昂揚感でもって全編を包み込んでいく。

ここで鳴らされるは まさに 恍惚の 音。
未だ誰も見出し得ぬ 至福の 音の 桃源郷。

耳障りのよいメランコリックなメロディと、完璧に構築された音のアンサンブル。しかしてフトその底を覗き込めば、どこまでも広がっていそうな果て無き深部が垣間見える。全ての音の果実が、鳴るべくしてそこに成っている。そんな無欠といっていいほどにパーフェクトな、本当に素晴らしい作品。
