10,000 MANIACS - OUR TIME IN EDEN (LP)

10,000 Maniacs Our Time In Eden on LP

Audio Fidelity's Target Series

Mastered by Kevin Gray

Our Time In Eden is the last 10,000 Maniacs studio album to feature original lead singer Natalie Merchant. The 1992 album is a tremendous work in terms of production and the maturity of the compositions. Everything came together for these pioneers of alternative music here. The album gets its strength from the overall style, it's full of texture and variety, whether with old-school R&B horns, chiming rhythm guitar or the simple elegance of lush piano and strings.

10,000 Maniacs wrote some of the best music of their time, rich melodies and intelligent lyrics. Like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell they excelled at cerebral, wonderful folk-pop songs. Merchant conjures up a place and time with ease and the rest of the band, Rob Buck, Dennis Drew, Steve Gustafson and Jerome Augustynicak, give her the superb support to flourish.

Singles include the #1 Billboard Magazine Modern Rock Hit "These Are Days," "Candy Everybody Wants" and "Few and Far Between" as well as a number of album tracks that dominated college radio airwaves. Our time In Eden belongs in any collection of seminal '90s music, a true testament to what music beyond the mainstream could be. A finer swan song has seldom been heard.
