Lid was a project formed in the latter half of the 1990s by Daniel Cavanagh of UK greats Anathema, along with legendary vocalist Eric Wagner from US doom metal legends Trouble. Joining the two were Timothy & Tommy Reeves on bass & drums respectively. The fruit of this union emerged in 1997, with the classic sole album, In The Mushroom, combining the heavier rocking & melodic traits of both acts, plus an element of psychedelia. Along with what could be termed stoner rock, there was also a notable Beatles-esque quality to the project, which incidentally blends well with a stellar cover of the Beatles' classic, 'Don't Let Me Down', joining the cover of The Monkees' 'Randy Scouse Git' for a dynamic ride full of hooks, accomplished songwriting, and an injection of Wagner's poetic depth. In The Mushroom was produced by Eric Wagner, along with Vincent Wojno (having previously worked with Eric with Trouble). The album was mixed at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. This edition of In The Mushroom is presented on mid-price CD format including booklet with lyrics.
