Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
You can draw parallels, sure. "Re-inventing A Challenge For Machines", with its gentle melody and off-beat guitars, recalls the distrait experimentalism of ex-Don Caballero members, Storm And Stress. "Leaving Capitol City For Good" is like an American version of the slightly mischievous Bristol collective (Flying Saucer Attack, Movietone) or Joe Meek's 1960s visions--albeit a version with its own distinct nationality. That's it, though. From The Vapor Of Gasoline, the second effort from the Mercury Program, is like the fuzzy soundtrack to a French film. Jazz-influenced drum beats, vibraphone and guitar harmonics resonate round structures bewildering in their complexity; songs are soundscapes echoing across genres. The group may hail from Athens, Georgia, but the music sounds like it's from another world altogether. --Everett True
CD Description
They rock, they roar, they tiptoe on little magic elfen feet, and then they roar some more. They're probably the closest thing to honest-to-god jazz-rock since Corea and DiMeola returned to forever. And while the Mercury Program are technically not an instrumental group, the vocals are so infrequent and subdued that you're likely to miss them unless you're paying close attention.
When they're roarin', the guitar is all fuzzy 'n' in your face, while the drummer is heroically pummeling the living daylights out of his kit. When they whisper, the atmosphere is thick with vibraphones and bells,not unlike the Dylan Group. Angular melodic lines and big fat chords bounce everywhere. But the disc's unbeatable one-two punch is the dreamy "Every Particle of the Atmosphere", followed by the stunning title track. And listen up for the bowed vibraphone and cymbals.
