Phenomena Of The Mind - Mieko Shimizu 12″ Vinyl

Phenomena Of The Mind is a re-mastered EP of selected tracks from the album of the same title released in 2006, the year after the London Terror attacks. Something dispirited and unexplainable lay heavy in the air of this immense city that we lived and breathed. In the title song ‘Phenomena Of The Mind,’ Mieko’s intense Japanese rap echoed the din of the chaotic streets we walk. ‘Visualise’, she says, and try to imagine a way to fight out way our of this ominous struggle. Wonderland Magazine has described Mieko’s music as “beautiful poetic verses and stunning music arrangements and Mark Taylor describes Mieko in Record Collector as “an avant-garde artist pushing boundaries.”

Mieko Shimizu is a London based Japanese singer, songwriter, composer and producer. Mieko first erupted onto the UK electronic scene as Apache 61; her searing alter ego, fusing layers of cross-woven breaks and battling shards of sub-bass within stateless melodies drawn from the fringes of the avant-garde. Garnering plays by John Peel she quickly build herself a name across the underground scene.
