Mercury Program "From The Vapor of Gasoline" LP

Clear Green Vinyl. 

In the wake of the Louisville-via-Chicago late-millennium, post-rock explosion, Mercury Program arrived at an amorphous "scene" in transition, vibraphone in hand. From The Vapors of Gasoline-their 2000 album for Tiger Style-was hardly a sophomore slump, it's cerebral and dissonant jams coyly answering the never-asked query: What if new age and post-hardcore bought a house in the suburbs? This25th anniversary remaster reveals the genius ofan overlooked triumph in startlingly vibrant de-tail, providing atmospheric color for erstwhile reptile and periodic table fans alike.
