"Mercury" is my favorite album of all time. It is spectacular, amazing, unbelievable, perfect. "Shawl" has some great songs as well. Especially "Fifty-Eight". That one is beautiful. It is sad that "Mercury" was not allowed to be as it was originally meant to be. Certain songs were taken out and later released on "Mercurios" and "Antarctica". The outtakes from "Mercury" are wonderful and wish it would have been allowed to stay on the album to form the whole that it was intended to be. Ah well, I love The Prayer Chain.  Mercury was a great album, but wasn't it like almost 50 minutes long? Prior to the breakup of the band the guys just couldn't get along and that's why the band doesn't exist anymore. BTW, I have MP3s of The Best of The Prayer Chain radio show I did in college. If anyone is interested I will sendspace it. According to Billy Corgan, that's why the orginal SP broke up. They never really got along. I wonder how these bands do it....if they can't get along, then why be a band in the first place? Seems like SP never got along according to BC. |

Well as far as them "getting along" it can't be too bad as they all work a lot together either in production or owning or producing albums at Northern Records...well all except Tim; who owns his own label.....my guess it was the whole band thing and pressures there and being around each other constantly plus most likely not wanting to do what their label wanted them to do etc. and you tend to take that out most on the ones you care about....

actually, in interviews around the time, they sounded extremely bitter and hateful towards each other. most of it was the other guys angry at tim, i think. fortunately, a lot of that stuff has been resolved and after all, they did have two or three reunion shows.
hopefully they'll have another, so i can finally see them live...
=0!

Here's the link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/b227uoThe quality on the MP3s is less than CD because I taped my radio show and then recorded the audio into the computer. |

OT, but is that dancing milk carton a Blur thing? Oh, and the show doesn't work for Mac users.  |

There was an interview on SomewhereCold.com with Chris Colbert (who worked on Mercury) and he said you could hear the band break up on the album. There was just so much tension, it really pushed them and they made a great record, it's just too bad they didn't get a chance to do any more recording, although I think all 4 guys appeared on The New Sound album by Cush. Plus Wayne Everett, Eric Campuzano and Andy Prickett have made some great music since the break up. The Lassie Foundation, Cush and of course, an appearance or two on a Starflyer disc (I think Americana).
Plus you have to love a band that writes a song trashing their fans for continually requesting the "hit" single.

It was The Prayer Chain that really fully introduced me to SF59. On the tour to promote Mercury, Starflyer opened for them. My brother and I went to one of the shows and both bands blew me away. Mercury changed the way I looked at music. I had really been into Shawl, but it was grunge influenced and sounded like a lot of other albums out at the time. Mercury really opened my eyes to what pain and struggle sounds like musically. That might be a little overdramatic, but at that time in my life (17 years old), it hit me like a Mack truck.
