One of our favorite albums, by Mercury Rev, and of the Greek public if we think on the great appearance of the band in Athens at the time, will be re-released soon, with enough extra material of course.

It's 'Deserter's Songs', the fourth album by Mercury Rev, who first appeared in September 1998 produced by Dave Fridmann and Jonathan Donahue. We recall that the album was voted as album of the year in the lists of NME and Mojo.
