Swervedriver - 99th Dream

Initially released in 1998, 99th Dream stands as a legendary chapter in the Swervedriver canon—an album that was nearly "lost to the ages" when the band dissolved shortly after its release. Now finally available again on vinyl, this reissue gives the record the definitive treatment it deserves. Moving away from the dense, "wall-of-sound" distortion of their earlier work, 99th Dream finds the band exploring a more expansive, melodic, and quintessentially British psychedelic sound, blending Adam Franklin’s evocative songwriting with the band’s signature "space-travel" guitar textures.

Originally constrained by the industry shifts of the late 90s, the album has been reissued here as a proper Double LP to ensure the highest audio fidelity. The tracks breathe with a new clarity, from the sun-drenched power-pop of the title track "99th Dream" to the sprawling, cinematic heights of "Behind the Scene of the Mind." This version is a significant upgrade for collectors, providing the necessary groove space to capture the nuanced production and layers of shimmering guitar work that make this record a fan favorite.

Adding immense value to this edition is a bonus 4th side featuring exclusive remixes by the legendary Alan Moulder. Known for his era-defining work with My Bloody Valentine, Ride, and Lush, Moulder’s contributions offer a fresh perspective on the album’s sonic architecture. Finally back in print and sounding incredible, this release restores a vital piece of the shoegaze and alternative rock puzzle.
