Thinking Plague
A History of Madness



Label: Cuneiform
Country: USA

A History of Madness presents a further maturation of the bandÕs sound. Its warm, organic sound is due in part to the inclusion of acoustic instruments in the mix, which is also interwoven with electronic sounds and samples. The CD includes two soundscape pieces, "War on Terra" and "Le Gouffre", that leader Mike Johnson maintains: Òare really a departure for me, or a beginning, as it were, in that they are my first really serious forays into the realm of semi-composed, sonic environments rather than organized pieces or songs." The line up is Mike Johnson (guitars), Deborah Perry (vocals), Dave Willey (bass and accordions), Dave Shamrock (formerly of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) (drums), Mark Harris (reeds) and Matt Mitchell (piano, harmonium, synths) with contributions from other musicians, including Dave Kerman (percussion), Ron Miles (trumpet), Mark McCoin (samples and soundscapes) and others. The CDÕs magic reveals itself on multiple listenings, in exploring the workÕs threads like currents in a stream. However, a single listen will suffice to leave most spellbound.
