About this deal

Instead of the darkly polished dance-pop styling of earlier albums Soul Mining and Infected, Mind Bomb opens up the music to reveal a slow, winding textured world of sound, thanks in no small measure to Marr. Lyrical subjects include politics, religion, and romance. The band would also play a world tour and record a follow-up, Dusk. After that, Johnson dissolved it and went about his business alone again. A remastered version of the album was released in 2002. a b "dutchcharts.nl > The The in Dutch Charts" (in Dutch). Hung Medien . Retrieved 19 November 2011. Uniquely optimistic yet tortured and anguished, Mind Bomb is TheThe’s most impressive work to date. A meld of bitter images and desperate hopes focusing on the individual conflicts and politics of a troubled world.”

At this point, the band consisted solely of Johnson and longtime friend and collaborator JG Thirlwell a.k.a. Foetus on tapes and loops, and young film director on film and video. [3] If Infected seethed and rattled with claustrophobic urgency and loathing, and it did, then Mind Bomb was slow, expansive, looming into inexorable life with a rage that smouldered rather than flamed. It creeps up on you, on 'Good Morning Beautiful', with what sounds like a muezzin's call, which for one reason and another it's likely no major label act would dare to use today (although it might be a Qawwal; it isn't credited and I haven't the ear to tell.) Next, a blast of sluggish brass over ominous piano chords, and pattering, insinuating percussion. Then Johnson's voice, a tense, febrile tenor, a voice living on its nerves, near breaking point, teetering here and there into an aspirated growl, sizzling when pressed against the side of the pan.

Archived from the original on 12 May 2010 . Retrieved 2 April 2011. Blending dense, tightly-wound music with anguished song writing, Mind Bomb is an eloquent statement of rage. Play it very loud, very late and very alone.” Throughout 1986–1987 Johnson toured the world extensively with Infected: The Movie, showing the film in cinemas in place of performing live concerts. The film was also shown twice in its entirety on Channel 4 in the UK, on MTV's 120 Minutes in the US, and on MuchMusic's City Limits in Canada. Continuing my journey through the wonderful world of The The, we arrive at their third album and the first to really be made by a full band, rather than just Matt Johnson's solo project.

HarperCollins imprint The Friday Project announced in the spring of 2014 that they would be publishing the first official biography of the The. Authored by Neil Fraser, it will apparently [ according to whom?] have the full cooperation of Matt Johnson. Hanky Panky: "The The – Hanky Panky (album)" (in German). GfK Entertainment . Retrieved 9 June 2017. In October 2023, the The announced their first tour since 2018 that will take place in 2024. [13] Members [ edit ] Current touring band members [ edit ] The songs on Mind Bomb have a do-or-die urgency. Matt Johnson is a committed writer with something to say."

Through four albums and most of the 1980’s Matt Johnson and his band have chronicled the ecstasies of agony with unflinching detail. This is a fierce work.”
