MIND CONTROL - Yami ni Kataru [闇に語る] (from V/A - “Neo?” LP, 1988, Portrait Records) Time for some starry, ethereal, female-fronted minimal synth to ring in the new year! Last year we had BARDO THÖDOL, and this year we have MIND CONTROL. This track is culled from the "Neo?" compilation on Portrait Records. One of the harder to find entries in Portraits catalogue, "Neo?" is mainly sweated among collectros for the cool but, frankly, out-of-place CONFUSE track that is included. Apart from that splurge of hardcore punk, the rest of the LP is mainly comprised of mellow but good new wave (side A), and tepid alternative rock (side B). Now, most of the bands featured on "Neo?" have nice pictures and biographies of them present on the insert to this record …save for two. One of them being CONFUSE (strangely enough!) the other one being, of course, MIND CONTROL, so unfortunately the only thing I know about them is that they generated this absolutely wonderful piece of spacy synthesizer bliss. Finally - a very happy new year to you all! Thank you so much for following, and I promise some sick tracks (and probably some ridiculous ones too) to come in 2012!
