Indie Rock LP - 25th Anniversary Copy Remastereed In Gatefold Sleeve. Inc Tracks From The Repeat The Ending Single & Pentagram Ring EP For The First Time. An unsung classic reissued and sounding utterly superb.
First released on May 23rd 1995, Gone Glimmering remains an unparalleled slab of visceral rock-action 25 years on -- evoking the spooky power and mystery of ’70s hard-rock while charting a course toward a future guitar music where dissonance, hooks, and brain crushing beats might thrillingly exist at once.
Freshly remastered by Greg Calbi, Gone Glimmering returns to us as a gatefold 2xLP and will now include four extra tracks drawn from the Pentagram Ring EP.

Last FM Information on Chavez
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Chavez were/are a Math Rock/Indie band from New York fronted by guitarist/vocalist Matt Sweeney. Theirs is a relatively poppy style with 4-minute songs usually in a recognisable verse/chorus structure. This poppiness is augmented with complex rhythm/vocal interplay and novel, sometimes uncomfortable guitar sounds.
The band formed iteratively around Sweeney between '92-'94. They released Gone Glimmering in '95 followed by Ride The Fader in '96, both on Matador.
Sweeney, a longtime friend of Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, has also played in Corgan's side-project, Zwan, and more recently in a duo with Will Oldham on their Superwolf album.
Pitchfork recently reviewed the new Chavez compilation which also contains some nice observations about their sound and its context.
After a lengthy hiatus between 1999 and 2006 they have recently begun playing extensively around the New York area. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
