Across Yer Ocean, by Mercury Rev (CD single on V2)

What you say No-one has reviewed Across Yer Ocean by Mercury Rev yet. Give us your opinion on Across Yer Ocean by Mercury Rev. What we say This record left our Clint feeling unmoved. Who didn't like 'Deserter's Songs' by Mercury Rev? Not even me. (oh Fat Barry apparently). I have to say I loved it. But since then - christ its been a lot of old tat and this new single is not really an  exception. Typical mystical lyrics from Jonathan Donahue (who kind of reminds me of Mystic Meg a bit). The tune wanders round like a drunken office worker trying to locate the last bus after a friday night piss up.

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.
