Paralyzed Mind Of The Archangel Void

Harmony Rockets is a Mercury Rev side project that has been gigging again in New York this year.

Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void consists of one track, which runs for 41:40 minutes, recorded live at the Rhinecliff Hotel in upstate New York in 1995. It was initially released in 1995 as a limited edition of 500 copies, then a limited re-release on CD in October 1997 on Big Cat.

The album starts out sweetly enough, then builds and builds, until finally arriving at a sublime conclusion. Jonathan said, "Basically, what it is, is most of Mercury Rev, that you see up there [stage], we're trying to kill a Friday night in the mountains, got really wasted and wandered down to a local Civil War bar. Yeah, just made up on the spot."

The line-up for this recording includes Jonathan Donahue, Grasshopper, Adam Snyder, Jason Russo, Jimy Chambers, Suzanne Thorpe, and Mark Marinoff.
