Mindpop & LCD

In the early 1990s, inspired by Fax, Silent, The Orb and Warp’s Artifical Intelligence series, there was a flurry of small labels producing music somewhere between ambient, trance and early electronica. One of our favourites was Cascade, a Swedish sub-label of Energy Rekords, who released EBM/industrial stuff.

These are their first two releases, long gone. There’s nothing groundbreaking in the music, but it does a fine job of taking an inattentive listener’s mind on a little jaunt around the outer planets for a couple of hours…
