Soon after the long-dreaded but hardly unexpected disintegration of American doom metal legends Trouble in 1996, singer Eric Wagner teamed up with British guitarist Danny Cavanagh (of Anathema fame) to form the transatlantic psychedelic hard rock collective known as Lid. Rounded out by the brotherly rhythm section of Tim (bass) and Tommy Reeves (drums), the quartet committed its first and only album of trippy acid rock to tape with 1998's In the Mushroom. Though rumors persisted of a possible follow-up release, it never appeared, and Eric Wagner died on August 22, 2021 at the age of 62. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
