Consistently driven by Jonathan Donahue (vocalist\/acoustic guitar), Grasshopper (moth-light guitars, clarinet, tettix wave accumulator) and Jeff Mercel (drums\/percussion\/piano\/keyboards), Mercury Rev have continued to surprise and enlighten listeners for over a decade and a half with their maverick musical explorations. Much of the music found on Hello Blackbird can also be found in the feature film 'Bye Bye Blackbird' by Robinson Savary. The band began a collaboration with the French film-maker after meeting in Paris in the summer of 2001. Despite limited distribution in Europe, the film got rave reviews as did the film's score. Hello Blackbird serves as a companion to the film and includes several compositions written for \u0026amp; inspired by, but not included in the film itself. This enhanced CD also includes two videos made by the band...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Blackbird's Call \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Illumination By Street Lamp \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Waltz for Alice \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Trial By Wire \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Daydream for Nina \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Audition Scene Sketch (Simple Because) \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The White Birds \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Josef's Vision \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Eye of the Blackbird (Traveling Music, Pt. 2) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Last of the White Birds (March Funebr) \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Cinema Theme \u003cbr\u003e1.12 First Flight of the White Birds \u003cbr\u003e1.13 The Chimpy Waltz \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Dempsey's Theme \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Fantasia No. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Robert y Roberto \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Traveling Music \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Departed Angels \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Simply Because \u003cbr\u003e1.20 The Making of Hello Blackbird [Studio Footage] [Multimedia Track] \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Grasshopper's Wild Ride [Multimedia Track]\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mercury Rev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432070295623,"sku":"16309302","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/products\/1337005_b3d6b743-e22b-447a-b9d5-d7a642d91488.jpg?v=1709792609","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/mercury-rev-hello-blackbird","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
