Overmind

Long-awaited 2022 reissue of the 'Overmind' album on De: tuned presented by The Kosmik Kommando, aka Mike Dred. Mike hardly needs an introduction: he started out in the 80's and is considered as one of the masters of the Roland TB-303. In 1990 he established the Machine Codes record label. A couple years later he joined Rephlex and R&S Records. Together with Aphex Twin, Mike was behind the Universal Indicator releases which are among the most collectible and sought after records in techno history. De: tuned has worked closely with Mike to develop an 8 track project that gives props to the American psychologist Timothy Leary and his proposed theory of 'The Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness'. The Models are applied to the 'Overmind' album and present a varied collection integrating acid house, techno, electro and rave culture. 3 of the tracks on offer here were written exclusively for Mike's live performance at the De: tuned 'Meeting of Minds' event in June 2012. Mastered by Thomas P. Heckmann and graphic makeover by Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune).
