About Me

A DELICIOUS NEW ALBUM IS BEING MADE. OFFICIAL iNSiDEaMiND MYSPACE PAGE (taken care of by iaM's management) FragMental EP - Exclaim! Magazine."Toronto's self-described scratch band, InsideAmind explore the outer boundaries of sanity and isolation on their debut EP, Fragmental, a disc that radiates the mood of drug-induced paranoia from someone locked in the shadows of an abandoned world. Using turntables as primary instruments, DJ Steptone and Professor Fingers create sparse soundscapes spotted with errant tones, scratched in percussive snippets and sporadic, atmospheric drones separating spare moments of actual rhythmic segments. As a result, the record plays out much more like a tense and disorienting film score than your typical DJ record. The disconcerting laughter riding in and out of "Laughing Life" plays well against the backdrop of a broken string arpeggio, diced up break beat and slow building rumble, and each is cut into the track with expert poise. Other songs are dvided up into mini-movements, like the tripped-out "April to August," which begins with a plodding dub rhythm that slowly dissolves into a buzzing sonic morass before returning to a much cleaner and more positive break beat by song's end. The unhurried pace and reliance on the silence between sounds here make this particular set more suited to an intense reading session but the potential for a more varied production is great and it'll be interesting to see what the duo do with a full release." ~Kevin Jones~
