I've mentioned this band before, in passing ...

Correct, and author of "Wings of Mercury".

Yes, Tommy Zvoncheck played with the Dream Syndicate on their 'Medicine
Show' album, and the follow-up 'Not the New Dream Syndicate ... Live!'
mini-LP.  Didn't he also play on Imaginos?

The aforementioned 'Medicine Show'.

I recently picked up the 'Last Days of May' CD, and it's pretty darn good.
Long, expansive, instrumental guitar-scapes with some ripping leads from
Mr. Percoda, as well as some nice moody, subdued parts.  Doesn't really
sound specifically like the Dream Syndicate (or any of Percoda's other
post-D.S. bands like the Droogs) or even BOC, but it's really cool stuff.
Recommended.
