eclipsed: The big surprise is that after seven years Mercury Rev has released a new CD. In the beginning it sounds completely different than earlier records from you, but with each further hearing the Mercury Rev sound comes better to the fore ...
Jonathan Donahue: The record came to us. We've been playing relentlessly in the seven years since the last CD and have been on tour. But we live in the mountains and have a different sense of time than usual in the music business. Seven years is an infinity in the music world. But that's nothing to us. We wrote a long time on the record. It took shape about a year and a half ago. We went into the studio, and what followed went really fast.

Richard Wright died surprisingly at the age of 65 - after a short fight against cancer. Many call him the soul of Pink Floyd, and his musicality and almost unearthly keyboard playing gave the group its unique sound. In the following we pay tribute once again to the musical merits of this exceptional artist.
