Ultra Vivid Scene – Rev – Compact Disc

Rev is the second album by the American alternative rock band Ultra Vivid Scene, released in 1992. Ultra Vivid Scene, fronted by Kurt Ralske, was known for their dreamy and shoegaze-influenced sound, and Rev is one of their notable releases.

The album Rev features a collection of tracks that blend elements of alternative rock, shoegaze, and dream pop. It’s characterized by its lush and atmospheric sound, with layers of guitars and dreamy vocals.

Kurt Ralske’s Ultra Vivid Scene drenches a listener with charged psychedelic folk-rock on Rev. Jangling, wailing guitars, deep basslines, and shuffling drums transport a listener to Ralske’s passionate dreamy realm. Evoking heady, dark imagery in his lyrics, Ralske thankfully varies his pace and tone throughout the album. One doesn’t know whether to expect a screaming guitar solo or dreamy female background vocals at any given moment.

It’s quite a feat that Ralske is able to stretch his catchy hooks and melodies into songs that hover and go well past the five-minute mark. That Ralske also maintains a somewhat dour vocal style, but still manages to hold a listener’s rapt attention, expresses that fine songwriting and arrangements are on display. Equally successful whether it’s pumping out Dark Side of the Moon-era Pink Floyd-inspired atmosphere or neo-psychedelia reminiscent of World Party,

Some of the notable tracks on the album include “Candida,” “Portion Of Delight,” and “This Is The Way.” These songs capture Ultra Vivid Scene’s signature style, which was known for its ethereal and introspective qualities.

Rev received positive reviews from critics and is appreciated by fans of shoegaze and alternative rock for its dreamy and atmospheric sound. It’s considered one of the standout releases in the band’s discography and a representation of the shoegaze movement of the early 1990s.

Rev is loaded with compelling songs. Sounding born of the Rolling Stones, in their vibe-heaviest mode, Rev exudes timeless tunes. Rev shows dream pop at its symbolic, aggressive zenith.
