Mirage is an album by the Arizona alternative rock band Meat Puppets.
The album was reissued in 1999 by Rykodisc with five additional bonus tracks, including early demos of "The Mighty Zero," "I Am a Machine" and "Liquified" as well as a cover of the Elvis Presley song "Rubberneckin'" and the previously unreleased "Grand Intro." As an added bonus, this album includes an "Enhanced CD" partition for play on home computers. Mirage offers the promotional video for "Get On Down." Directed by Robert Tucker and featuring the Pups galavanting around the Valley of The Sun doing whacky dances, this has remained one of their most popular clips.
Drummer Derrick Bostrom has referred to the album as their "psychedelic epic".
Famous quotes containing the word mirage:
“Go out of the house to see the moon, and ‘t is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it? Go forth to find it, and it is gone: ‘t is only a mirage as you look from the windows of diligence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
