Genre/Influences: EBM.
Background/Info:
Set up in the late 80s
and split in the 90s, Frame Of Mind got reactivated in 2017 and released the
full length album “At The End Of Your World” in 2018. This EP is taken from the
album and got released by the end of 2018.
Content:
“Nothing Else To Do” was
not exactly a song that caught my attention on the album. It however perfectly
stands for the sound and EBM approach of this German project. It’s pretty
retro-like and mainly carried by dark atmospheres. It’s more EBM to listen to instead
of a heavy club-track.
Remixes were done by
Antibody (raw technoid driven remix), Bathead (quite sophisticated approach),
Netz (pretty minimal-like) and Pyrroline (intelligent version).
+ + + :
Frame Of Mind remains an
interesting formation for old-school electro-lovers. This song is driven by 90s
influences. I especially like the remixes. Antibody did a great job
transforming the original version into a raw-technoid edit. I also have to
mention the great and inspiring work of Pyrroline. But globally speaking all
the remixes make sense!
– – – :
I know it’s all a
question of taste, but I think there were more interesting songs featured on
the album to get released as EP-title song.
Conclusion:
This EP merges an
old-school title song together with more contemporary electro-formats. I think
everyone will find a suitable match.
Best songs:
“Nothing Else To Do –
Antibody Remix”, “Nothing Else To Do – Pyrroline Remix”.
