Ultra Vivid Scene – Rev – Cassette

Rev is an album by the American alternative rock band Ultra Vivid Scene, released in 1992.

Rev by Ultra Vivid Scene is a notable release in the alternative rock and dream pop genres. The band, led by Kurt Ralske, was known for its ethereal and atmospheric sound, characterized by a fusion of alternative and psychedelic elements.

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, 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

The album features tracks that incorporate dreamy guitar melodies, lush arrangements, and introspective lyrics. Rev includes songs like “Staring at the Sun” and “Like a Child” that exemplify the band’s ability to create a dreamlike sonic landscape.

The title Rev may suggest a sense of revival or reinvention, and the album reflects Ultra Vivid Scene’s evolution and exploration of new sonic territories.

Ultra Vivid Scene’s music is celebrated for its dreamy and ethereal quality, which places it in the realm of dream pop and alternative rock. “Rev” is a significant release in their discography, representing their contribution to the alternative music scene of the early 1990s and their ability to create immersive and otherworldly musical experiences.
