Mind BombMind Bomb is the 4th album by The The, released by Some Bizzare/Epic on July 11, 1989. The The begin recording it starting in October 1988 to May 1989. For this album, instead of getting a bunch of session musicians as he did previously, mainman Johnson assembled a real core band behind him to play the bulk of the instrumentation (additional flourishes were nevertheless provided by sessioneers, most notably keyboard player Wix). Instead of the darkly polished dance-pop stylings 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 means to ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. It's serious rock of the highest order, influenced by politics and religion and romantic on the heavy side. 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. Line-up Tracks Tracks written by Matt Johnson, except where noted. - "Good Morning, Beautiful"
