The Prayer Chain - Mercury flac album

Mercury is the final album of original material from alternative band The Prayer Chain, released in 1995. Originally the band wanted to do a worship-based album. Bassist Eric Campuzano says "When we were were discussing this record, a lot of people said Shawl was a negative album, so we all kinda wanted to do this real drony 'get lost in the music' type record - only with praise songs.

The Prayer Chain was THE seminal underground Christian band in the mid-90’s. During the overhaul in Christian music scene at the time, the larger labels were snatching up young alternative bands, hoping to cash in on the trend. One of those bands was The Prayer Chain. From their inception they had cultivated a sound that was unlike anything in Christian or secular music. Their first album spawned a minor single Crawl on the Christian radio channels. As they had began the sessions on their second album, which was Mercury, their label was not happy with the direction they were headed. Unfortunately, no matter how pathetic it may seem, Christian labels were trying to cultivate ‘alternatives’ to the secular world. For every Nirvana, they wanted a ‘Christian’ Nirvana to sell. The Prayer Chain’s first album, more or less, fit into the grunge category fairly easily. However, that sound was gone, entirely.

We intend to press a vinyl version of the album ourselves, now, on its 20th anniversary. It is more cost-prohibitive than we expected, especially since the album is so long that it needs to be spread across two discs (ah, the CD era of lengthy songs!). So, we are asking for contributors. As you may notice, there is a listening party pledge.

You've pushed me all around And now I've had my fill There's nothing left for me to say I've lost all countenance, you've gone too far. I'm bitter as the grass And I can't spit it out I like the taste of bitterness, so, so crass I've lost all countenance, you've gone too far. Crack the crickets cackle It's crawling up my spine Spit on its head To see the sunshine - give me a while, and I'll show you how it feels

The Mercury Prize, formerly called the Mercury Music Prize, is an annual music prize awarded for the best album released in the United Kingdom by a British or Irish act. It was established by the British Phonographic Industry and British Association of Record Dealers in 1992 as an alternative to the Brit Awards. The prize was originally sponsored by Mercury Communications, a brand owned by Cable & Wireless, from which the prize gets its name.

Just in time for Christmas comes word that The Prayer Chain have posted their 1995 Mercury album for purchase on Vinyl format which includes a digital download of that same album. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
