Mind, The – Open Up The Window and Leave Your Body – New LP

green noise needs lumpy records...lumpy records needs The Mind...The Mind needs you...you need to get these post punk nightmare dream pop acid rock spacey synth punk sounds to spongebath you with flickering fiber optic colors and wash your hair with soft hands massaging your earlobes whispers creeping through your ear canals like marching technicolor bugs who 1-2-3 mean you no harm and just want to tell you ancient space-age secrets to help you find the black holes in your kitchen sink and bedroom walls so you can take the 21st century in a knapsack and journey back to the decades hiding in the shadows of the Cold War years, secret agents and Joe Meek studios on Apollo voyage bubbletop space traveling dune-buggy rides into the air conditioned indoor shopping malls of the incense-scented black-lite posters in the backroom of Spencer Gifts in the 1970s, electronic sounds of Tangerine Dream given rhythm and compressed into pop songs and the analog synthesizer Moog sounds that influenced them and Tubeway Army-influenced soundtracks of dystopian B-movies of the 1980s.  In other words, this scoops up bits and pieces from all the electronic elements and some cool electric guitar sounds of various music from 1961 to 1984, the good, the bad and the wonderful, instrumental, pop and the underground and dumps them into experimental pop songs that subdue the rhythms into Big Bad Brad drumming and brushing like a robot drumming machine, but still possess some lovely menacing punk hole punching and imperfection. -- winch (green noise)
