With a new album on the way later this year and Loveheart still receiving plaudits, it seems fitting once more to bring to light the album that catapulted Merz on to the stages of a vibrant UK music scene in 1999. An incredibly diverse debut that contains tracks such as Many Weathers Apart, Engine Heart, Lotus and Blues Became and that stand tall today despite being unavailable for the best part of the millennium.

The record has been remastered, repackaged and remixed, albeit with a few amendments including a slight change to the track listing. The reissued album is also accompanied by a second disc containing previously unheard versions of songs taken from the original recording sessions and various remixes. The highlight’s being the epic version of Blues Became featuring an orchestra and a drum band, recorded on Pink Floyd’s Victorian house boat studio on the Thames and a newly recorded 2006 version of Lovely Daughter

You can buy it now from the Gronland Store and all orders will be shipped with an exclusive Gronland Sampler.
