Mind.In.A.Box - R.E.T.R.O(2010) Dependent
I've waited and hoped that Mind.In.A.Box wouldn't disappear when Dependent records closed in 2007. They certainly didn't disappear, they just went down a different road. In the summer of 2009 Mind.In.A.Box went from a studio project to a much cheered live-act. But that wasn't all. Somewhere along the line Dependent records decided to re-open and starting to pour out some great new releases. One of them is the new Mind.In.A.Box record. It doesn't really sound like they used to. Sure, you can still hear that it's Mind.In.A.Box, they do have a uniqe sound. But this time around they've decided to pay an homage to the sounds of the Commodore 64 computer. So there's lots of C64-sounds and melodies. Half the album is cover-versions of famous C64 game soundtracks. If you like chip-music with a twist, the first half of the album is for you! The second half sounds more like the Mind.In.A.Box that I'm used to. All in all, an interesting release. Certainly worth checking out!
