Odd to relate that after recording this typically excellent album, Swervedriver were dropped by their label, DGC, eventually releasing it a year later through New York indie Zero Hour. That decision by Geffen & Co. is at odds with the surging, electric, blissful spirit of 99th Dream, which emits clouds of psychedelia at every turn.
The title track bends and swoons with the sort of incandescence abandoned by My Bloody Valentine earlier in the decade; Up From The Sea is elemental, woozy. Tracks like Electric 77 and Stellar Caprice feel almost self-descriptive, states of epic rock grace, bubbling and oozing with beauty.
