Mind Funk - Mind Funk
Anyone got or remember this corking hard rock debut from about 1991?
Lent my copy out and never got it back, now it's not available anywhere I've looked. Great band - they did a follow up a couple of years later then vanished.
Edit - just found a used copy on Amazon - $246.99!!! It's not that good!
Neil Dalek and I were discussing Inaura in the Spinning Today thread... which made me think for some reason of Captain - who had a fantastic debut album This is Hazelville - produced by Trevor Horn, every track had an intro which was in itself a masterpiece IMO. For some reason, despite recording their follow up album they were dropped by EMI and subsequently broke up, never to be seen again... :(
I came across The Passions a while back, their first single was great, then *poof* obscurity!

The appallingly named 'Bedlam A Go Go'...
Leeds answer to the happy mondays in attitude, sonically a bit of a massive attack & asian dub foundation mixture...one excellent album 'Estate Style Entertainment' and that was that, worth getting just for the opening track 'Northern Lights' using the Ruts original Babylon's Burning riff to very good effect!
They're probably all incarcerated ;)
This is about the best I could find on youtube...
The album's on amazon for 74 pence!!!!

Their LP was good too! The main guy went on to perform solo under the name LSK. They had a fab single called 'Roots' - check it on YouTube. The girl in the video is his sister and she's lovely :eyebrows: ;)
Cheers for that, they probably realised they needed a name change too...;)Quote:
