A song from the 90s crypt: Dink’s “Green Mind.”
At first, the samples in this song don’t seem to have much of a connection to the larger material, but if we listen there arises a theme within the song of being lost and retreating into a sort of mental isolation, an every-man-for-themselves feel that springs from an agreement that things are all pretty fucked up, which is what most industrial music is about (even the hyper-sexualized “Do What You Want To Do To Me” grand scheme of Lords of Acid reflects this to some degree). This song is like the bad-ass, cynical cousin to lame momma’s boy Jesus Jones’ whiny, over-optimistic “Right Here Right Now.”
