From the Vapor of Gasoline on LP

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 Va-

pors of Gasoline-their 2000 album for Tiger

Style-was hardly a sophomore slump, it's ten

cerebral and dissonant jams coyly answering the

never-asked query: What if new age and post-

hardcore bought a house in the suburbs? This

25th anniversary remaster reveals the genius of

an overlooked triumph in startlingly vibrant de-

tail, providing atmospheric color for erstwhile

reptile and periodic table fans alike.
