Various Artists – A Beginning of an End {CANDY035}

Artist: Various Artists
Title: A Beginning of an End
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY035
Release Date: 2007/04/09

This is the last Candy Mind release.

Ever.

Candy Mind has been bought (for a half-decent amount of money) by swedish net-label Subnatura; who has decided to close down Candy Mind for good due to competitive issues.

However, since the Candy Mind crew is made of energy, and energy is subject to a strict global conservation law (that is, it can neither be created nor destroyed), the Candy Mind spirit will (in some way and form) live on. And blablabla.

Here are our last tracks. Enjoy!

Goodbye!

01. BEST FWENDS – SK8 OR LIVE (GOTO80 REMISS)
Best Fwends loves to skate…and when they are not skating, together with Goto80 (who is wearing his special skating hat, of course), they usually sing about the art of skating. This is an example of the skateor-sing phenomenon.

02. LIQUID STRANGER – I AND I
The letter I is the ninth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its English name is pronounced [a?]. Liquid strangers song is about this letter not only one, but 2 (two!) times! The dot over the lowercase ‘i’ is sometimes called a tittle. In the Turkish alphabet, dotted and dotless I are considered separate letters and both have uppercase (I, I) and lowercase (i, i) forms. This song does not, however, cover such (more advanced) topics.

03. DOROTHY`S MAGIC BAG – PICASSOS PENIS
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (October 25, 1881 – April 8, 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor. His full name is Pablo Diego José Santiago Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispín Crispiniano de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Blasco y Picasso. One of the most recognized figures in 20th century art, he is best known as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism. This song is about picassos penis.

04. PSILODUMP – ROUTINE E OF THE NO-BOTS
Just because the Bot Exclusion Standard been overlooked doesn’t mean it’s insignificant. As its name suggests, the Bot Exclusion Standard was created to govern robots, and to feed their pets. Psilodump is one of the pets, and is giving us his own (unique) point of view on the subject.

05. PAZA RAHM – OCH HON SA (CYNKOT GRUPPA REMIX)
And she said… she said what?!?

06. LITHIS – THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MEANINGFUL CONTEXT
Is creating a meaningful context for learning object reuse any different from creating a meaningful context for reusing other educational materials, like book chapters or research articles? Ask Lithis; he knows.

07. GOTO80 – JAHMAHA BUGGDUB
Robert Malone Bugg was an American politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives for Tennessee’s 7th congressional district. Goto80 is giving us his own, a bit controversial, version of what really happened to this man.

Tracklist:
01 – Best Fwends – Sk8 or Live (Goto80 Remiss)
02 – Liquid Stranger – I and I
03 – Dorothy’s Magic Bag – Picassos Penis
04 – Psilodump – Routine E of the No-Bots
05 – Paza Rahm – Och Hon Sa (Cynkot Gruppa Remix)
06 – Lithis – The Establishment of a Meaningful Context
07 – Goto80 – Jahmaha Buggdub

Various Artists – Masters Of The Green Insects {CANDY029}

Artist: Various Artists
Title: Masters Of The Green Insects
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY029
Release Date: 2006/10/01

While other labels focus more and more on artist who are “excellent musicians” and “instrumental geniouses”, Candy Mind is taking another perspective of view.

So let´s set this straight: We only want “real men” (disregarding gender) on our label. To be included in the Candy Mind rooster you must be skilled in both stone cutting, welding and hunting.
We refuse to work with nerds who swarm, like insects, around computers and books. No, what we want is the strong, the brave and the fit.

When we put together this compilation we didn´t look that much on whether the music was outstanding or not (you know, even nerds can make music), instead we choose to look at the artist´s military records, mixed martial arts career and years of work in the industrial sector.

It´s with great pride we at Candy Mind can assure you listeners out there that all the music you are about to hear is composed by hard working men of blood and steel who stands up for their label and fights to the end. Failure is not in their vocabulary and they will never give up!

01. LIQUID STRANGER – JAKTEN PÅ GULDPOKALERNA

With a mind of steel and two iron fists he is ruling the rumoured gangster crew CCP. “It must be west coast,” Binärpilot says, “I would never, NEVER team up with any east coast rapper. I’ll kick their asses instead. I’ll really do it dawg!”
And we can all see from the look on Binärpilots face that he’s really serious, as always, about the asskicking-bit…

Liquid Stranger vs Dorothy´s Magic Bag – Banana(Electro)Split {CANDY027}

Artist: Liquid Stranger vs Dorothy´s Magic Bag
Title: Banana(Electro)Split
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY027
Release Date: 2006/08/05

Behold the new virtual, unlimited, transparent red split-electro-12” with Liquid Stranger and Dorothy’s Magic Bag, ready to shake your virtual dance floor!

“A virtual 12”?” you may ask, with a corny scepticism glued to your voice. In fact a virtual 12” is much more convenient than a physical one: it takes up less space, it has got less of the bad smell and is much easier to hide away when thieves are coming at night.
If you choose to print it on paper you’ll see even more advantages, like the possibility to store hundreds of printed virtual 12” vinyls in 1 (one!) vinyl cover… And if they get damaged; no problemosadas: just print out another one!

We will continue with this winning concept, and will hopefully be able to, some day, release our own collection binder (virtual of course)… just like Aphex Twin (the master of collection binders).

A1. LIQUID STRANGER – PRESS PLAY ON TAPE
The exciting story about a c64 showdown in outer space. Classic electro from 1995.

A2. LIQUID STRANGER – SMEARTEST
It is important to do regular smeartests every now and then. If the track doesn´t play as smooth as you would prefer, then you´ll know it is time for another lubrication.

B1. FEMALE VOICE
Always wanted to have a more feminine voice? Then this is the stuff for you.

B2. TRANSYLVANIA
In Transylvania, the land of vampires, you’ll find much more than you’ll expect. Ice cream for example…

Tracklist:
A1 – Liquid Stranger – Press Play On Tape
A2 – Liquid Stranger – Smeartest

Dorothy’s Magic Bag – Dansmosaik {CANDY021}

Artist: Dorothy’s Magic Bag
Title: Dansmosaik
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY021
Release Date: 2006/03/30

Dorothy’s Magic Bag is giving us a beautiful, yet sinister gift this time; a dance mosaic. You´ve never heard of dance mosaic before? You’re probably not the only one.

We on Candy Mind had not heard about it either before Dorothy’s Magic Bag brought one home from a trip to Mozambique. There, a secret tribe of voodoo-dancers taught him the secret art of… dansmosaik.

In today´s busy and ignorant culture, mosaic do not stand a chance, but in the future, everyone will have mosaic when they dance.

1. RYSK ROULETTE
The first piece of mosaic (the green one) shows Dorothy’s Magic Bag in a deadly game involving guns and vodka. Who will win, and who will one life lesser get, in this game of Russian roulette?

2. GHOST RIDE (FEAT. SPÖK-JENNIE)
The second piece of mosaic (the blue one) is telling us a story about a mystical journey. So listen to this side by side, and let’s join for a ghost ride.

3. TEQUILA TRAIN
The third piece of mosaic (the red one) is giving us a moving picture of a long gone new years evening. You want to loose both sense and pain? Then go for a while on the Tequila train!

4. GRÄNSLINJE
The fourth piece of mosaic (the yellow one) is shining out the feeling of a life on the line. Please no yelling, please don´t whine, we’ll now cross the borderline.

5. HÄR ÄR APORNA (FEAT. THE CHILDREN OF BERGSJÖN)
The fifth piece of mosaic (the purple one) is screaming about children singing a song about furry animals. We’re no soft sweet kittens, nor stupid donkeys, no angry dogs, cause we are the monkeys!

6. DANSMOSAIK
All the mosaic pieces together (in all the bright shiny colours) is blending, mixing, and all colours, which just were so beautiful, is now just a dull brown mess. Some things are best not to be mixed.

7. DANSMOSAIK (PSILODUMP REMIX)
In one of the mosaic pieces (a mysterious black one) we find Psilodump, the one-eyed witch-doctor from the far away lands. Also he has found his way to the secret art of dance mosaic.

…

And, remember; in the future, everyone will have mosaic when they dance!

Tracklist:
01 – Rysk Roulette
02 – Ghost Ride
03 – Tequila Train
04 – Gränslinje
05 – Här Är Aporna
06 – Dansmosaik
07 – Dansmosaik (Psilodump Remix)

Press Play On Tape {CANDY020}

Title: Press Play On Tape
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY020
Release Date: 2006/03/08

We really like this time, to present something that is not music, but a movie, to widen the realm of Candy Mind and blablabla…

… we all remember the old 8-bit computer heroes from the 80s, don’t we? But have you ever thought about what happened to them when their era was over, when they got passé?

In the land of old computer games, the people have grown disilussioned, anxious and scared. Does god really exist? And if he does, does he really care about us anymore? And when it all comes down to it; does these questions really matter at all?

In a dark and barren 8-bit world, a depressed ex-space-pilot is searching for answers, searching for the truth…

So, pop your popcorns and take your place in the Candy Cinema, we meet you there!

Psilodump – Jag Och Psilodump {mtk155}

Artist: Psilodump
Title: Jag Och Psilodump
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk155
Release Date: 2005/11/03

Straight from the mind of Swedish hellraiser Psilodump, who’s released on super-smart labels such as 8bitpeoples and Micromusic, as well as being part of the rather smart X-Dump collective, ‘Jag Och Psilodump’ is a spectacularly eclectic 6-track EP which bounces all over the map, showcasing Psilodump’s distinctly weird, distinctly different stylings.

Things start with ‘Winds (Snabber Mix)’, which is all hyper-fast drums and oddly burlesque melodies, before ‘Omtanke7’ cuts in, again with oddly indescribable, almost demo-scene styled melodies, before the almost junglist ‘Jag Hatar Psilodump’ hangs around, all vicious. It only gets better from there on out, ending in a military deconstruction of ‘Winds’ by fellow X-Dump colleague and former Monotonik releaser Dorothy’s Magic Bag. Mommy, we’re scared…

Various Artists – Burning Chocolate {CANDY014}

Artist: Various Artists
Title: Burning Chocolate
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY014
Release Date: 2005/11/03

Sometimes things are burning. It’s very hard to avoid that fact. It can be a lot of things that goes on fire: houses, people, bushes… and of course also chocolate. First it’s melting, dripping down the chimneys faster than St. Claus, and when it’s even warmer it bursts into flames…

On this compilation we have a lot of different chocolate lovers (And non-lovers. Actually, it’s presumably more non-lovers on this release, bur it’s much more catchy to write about them as chocolate lovers). Liquid Stranger is taking us to the heart of Russia, Little Kid Human is opening his mysterious locker and Psilodump is giving us a glimpse of hell. We love it! Just as much as we love burning chocolate.

…and who doesn’t love the smell of burning chocolate!

1. LIQUID STRANGER – DEN INFEKTERADE TERMINALEN
Somewhere in Russia, the big computer system Rexkov (which’s controlling everything in Russia) is getting infected. Infected by a virus that is trying to steal all Russia’s secret plans on how to transform America into a portable icebox. Red alert!

2. GISELA – THIS IS HOW IT GOES (DOROTHY´S MAGIC BAG REMIX)
So, now it’s high time for a love song, don’t you think? Gisela is giving us her beautiful voice accompanied by Dorothy’s Magic Bug’s minimalistic yet powerful production.

3. LITTLE KID HUMAN – LOCKER
What’s hidden inside the mysterious locker? … ? Let’s find out!

4. SKRUVMEJSEL – STONKA RAMBOLA
Skruvmejsel takes us to the magical land of Stonka Rambola, a country where all things can (and will!) happen. It’s a fantastic trip, but be sure not to get your feet stuck in the enchanted lamp.

5. PSILODUMP – HOTLINE TO HELL
Everyone believes that Psilodumps home is nothing but an ordinary place. But they are all wrong! Deep inside his closet, which is full of old shoes and Arabic junk, there is a small passage: the infamous hotline to hell!

6. GOTO80 – KNARK
Hatman Goto80 is showing us what happens if you use too much knark in this shady business piece of music. An introvert adventure with a dirty, psychedelic twist.

7. LITHIS – LASERBOY MEETS ROBOTGIRL
When a laser boy meets a robot girl it’s all about passion. Eh, we really can’t tell you here what they’ll be doing…but if you close your eyes and listen very carefully you will get the message anyway.

Tracklist:
01 – Liquid Stranger – Den infekterade terminalen
02 – Gisela – This is how it goes (Dorothy’s Magic Bag Remix)
03 – Little Kid Human – Locker
04 – Skruvmejsel – Stonka rambola

Hectopascal – Alive In Veddige {CANDY005}

Artist: Hectopascal
Title: Alive In Veddige
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY005
Release Date: 2005/05/07

This is a live adventure of Hectopascal, from the picturesque realms of Veddige. It’s very much, according to them, an improvised one-take story produced with rusty electronic antiquities.

We on Candy Mind are glad to release this unpolished and spontaneous EP; totally free from any pretensions. Ranging from clay music in “Play Doo”, to the hurried count in “Greven Från Köln” and ending with a bang in psychedelic “Svälj Din Saliv”, this is true music, instant lo-fi rock’n’roll electronix!

This release also features remixes from the ruttish Liquid Stranger and chip music hero Dorothy’s Magic Bag.

1. PLAY DOO
Play Doo is nothing but Childhood music made out of clay. Now some advice: just be happy and let all the small clay monsters dance around you and everything will go fine. If not, you’ll put yourself in severe danger.

2. PÅ HAVETS BOTTEN
A crackling waltz from the bottom of the ocean, where the rockweed grows tall and algae are covering the remains of a wrecked drum machine still sending out a weak pulse… and if you listen very closely you may even hear the sound of electronic eels in a distance.

3. GREVEN FRÅN KÖLN
Dressed in cape and armed with his rapier, the count from König comes riding with horse and wagon. Sparkles from the wheels fill the air as he hurries down the cobbled streets. Prepare for some real old school music.

4. KROPPSHYDDA
Let’s leave mother earth just for a short while and experience some quality free-floating in other space. In this tranquil lullaby you might get a glimpse of all kinds of astronomical wonders such as crazy comets and shooting stars.

5. SVÄLJ DIN SALIV
As a final of this live episode, Hectopascal delivers something that is hard to describe as something other than strange. Old 80s toy synthesizers and hand played kick drums battles with strange filter sounds and improvised melodies. And then it all ends with a large explosion… bang!

6. SVÄLJ DIN SALIV (LIQUID STRANGER REMIX)
Instead of listening to the original “Svälj din saliv” Liquid Stranger has been dancing a complex waltz, filled with a lot of inspiration from his lately experience in old style German dances. Join your beloved and dance to all the jelly dolphins the stranger brought us!

7. KROPPSHYDDA (DOROTHY´S MAGIC BAG REMIX)
From our outer space experience of the original version of “Kroppshydda”, we get a return ticket from Dorothy´s Magic Bag and finally end up in a toy store. Here rubber accordions and xylophones in miniature accompany plastic trumpets. Prepare for drama when the Bag goes mental with his secret GM sound library!

Tracklist:
01 – Play Doo
02 – På Havets Botten
03 – Greven From Köln
04 – Kroppshydda
05 – Svälj din saliv
06 – Svälj din saliv (Liquid Stranger remix)
07 – Kroppshydda (Dorothy’s Magic Bag remix)
