Mind Control - The Ultimate Edition

Gary Ramon founded Sun Dial in the London underground in 1990 and has never let anyone tell him how his records should sound. Mind Control, originally released in 2012 and already expanded with two bonus tracks in 2015, is regarded by many as the band’s rebirth. The Ultimate Edition brings together the album along with the bonus tracks and the previously unreleased material from the same sessions, and now the whole thing is finally available on vinyl.

Mountain Of Fire & Miracles opens like a heavier relative of Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun before Radiation, Burned In and the title track drive the album through psychedelic, krautrock and electronic terrain. In Every Dream Home A Heartache, the Roxy Music original, takes on a menacing weight all of its own in Sun Dial’s hands. Added to this are the previously unreleased songs and alternative versions from the same period, produced with the involvement of Hugo Chavez-Smith, who had already overseen the debut Other Way Out.
