Mystified creates loop-based industrial music and in the case of this very tempo driven “Lick”, you can hear a guitar riff, first abstracted, then assembled – presented again and again in different contexts, with the riff taking on various qualities. We didn’t have to wait long before deciding that this act needed to be on the compilation for sure.
The man behind this fine project is Thomas Park. Trained in classical and jazz music as a teenager, he played the trombone and piano soon after. But his listening habits changed in the late 1980’s, when Thomas became interested in electronic music. After several years of writing techno as the band AutoCad, Thomas started a collaboration with Robin Storey of Rapoon. Soon after the ambient / drone band Mystified was born. Over the years Mystified has released a long list of albums and EPs and collaborated with other artists including Nigel Ayers of Nocturnal Emissions.

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
