I was a big fan of MINDFUNK in the early '90s, and my main man Rinjo recently resparked my interest in the band. We both combed the net for People Who Fell from the Sky, MINDFUNK's impossible-to-find 1995 swan song, with Rinjo having the quicker hand. Speaking of Rinjo, I don't believe he thinks as highly of this album as the other two releases, but I'll go so far as to call it MINDFUNK's absolute best. By this point in the band's short career, the quirkiness of their eponymous debut had given way to industry bitterness, and, consequently, slower tempos and a more somber tone. At a glance, a few among the G.O.M.E. Faithful will be asking themselves "What the fuck is MINDFUNK doing here?", but trust me - three tracks in, you'll agree that People Who Fell from the Sky and G.O.M.E. are a perfect fit. Very psychedelic with lots of wah, coupled with ample doomsday goodness, this album is, in my humble opinion, a criminally overlooked and long-forgotten masterpiece.
