What the press have to say about Analogue Mindfield
"...surrounded by reggae, dub and drum and bass that serves as a communal anthem, a festival soundtrack and a call for a tribal gathering all at once..."
- Record Collector
"...normally I’d say which are my favourite tracks but they’re all so damn good... this is summer music... festival music... as sampled “head” terry mckenna might have said in the 60s, “turn on, crank up, bliss out”... LOOK, JUST GO AND GET IT, YOU CAN THANK ME LATER..."
- UK Reggae Guide
"...I was so impressed I simply had to recommend it... they've progressed considerably in the short time since digital brainwave... their general sound becoming more polished while retaining the d&b trip hop, roots and general leftfield mash-up vibe they invented... and rise up is perhaps the best Irish reggae tune I've heard!..."
- Connected Magazine
"...a fine adjustment of time is an analogue mindfield masterpiece in my opinion... appealing to the masses in the sense that there is someting for everyone to enjoy!..."
- Drop D Magazine
"...Channelling jazz, dub, theremins, The Clangers and sometimes even The Doors, the mixture is just right for fall around chilling music soon to be the soundtrack of sushi bars and 4am house parties everywhere. Totally smoking!..."
- Sunday Tribune
"...Stand in front of your favourite abstract painting, knock back a bottle of absinthe and let your mind be freeeeeeeeee as this elegant collection of tripped out ambient reggae and drum & bass takes you down the musical road less travelled!..."
- Jude Schweppe
"...Thoroughly intense and a pleasure to my ears!..."
- Samantha Kim (Regatta)
"...the sound of benny hill directed by tarantino!..."
- Boomkat Magazine

BIOG

Blending elements of Trip-Hop, Reggae, Drum and Bass and Ambient, Analogue Mindfields music was described by Cheshire Cat of Leftfield as
a heavyweight mix of reggae, old school dub with vibrant brass driven trip skank like a mouthfull of liquorice allsorts
The bands second album ‘A Fine Adjustment of Time’ was recorded in the bands own studios in Dublin and mastered by Mike Fossenkemper (Jimi Hendrix, Super Furry Animals, Jah Wobble, Sly and Robbie, Bill Laswell) in TurtleTone Studios NYC. It was released in March on the legendary Malicious Damage record label (Killing Joke, The Orb) who the band are now recording their third album for.

Their Mission Statement is simple - Create auditory sound-scapes of challenging yet accessible music, whilst retaining an inspired socially conscious theme to our tunes.- Gizzy D
Analogue Mindfields initial output, entitled Digital Brainwave was released in May 2006 and can be purchased online at the Analogue Mindfield shop . Some notable guests featured, including M.C. Ishu (Step13, Manaseh Soundsystem), Yolazy and the crispy horns of The Love Grocer (Mad Professor, Morcheeba, Steel Pulse, The Bluetones, Horace Andy, Zion Train and Dreadzone).
