V.A. - Mindexpanders

Some groovy sounds you can find here on the first Mindexpanders volume (Waterpipe Records #no number / 2002). All songs are instrumentals, mostly studio cash-ins that try to catch the hip style of the moment. If you can go along with "101 Strings: Astro Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000" or "Crazy People: Bedlam" you will find a lot here. The compilation is subtitled "In search of the orgiastic flashtastic psychspastic groove".
