THINKING PLAGUE
Title:
In Extremis
Label:
CUNEIFORM
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
RUNE 113CD
"A Colorado-based ensemble that explores the frontiers where rock, folk, jazz and modern symphonic music meet. Through these explorations, the band has created what
Journal Wired
called 'a genre of music unto itself, eclectically derivative in a bold way and spectacularly innovative in the old- fashioned sense of genuine originality.' Tuneful, well composed & strongly structured, this is very much in the vanguard of the RIO art-rock song style, along with peers such as U Totem, the 5uu's & the Art Bears."

Early Plague Years
Label:
CUNEIFORM
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
RUNE 141CD
"Thinking Plague were founded in Denver, CO. by guitarist Mike Johnson and bassist/drummer Bob Drake in the early 1980's. They released their first LP,
a thinking plague
, in 1984 on their own label. Each album cover was hand painted by Bob. Johnson and Drake then disbanded the group & began working with new musicians. In 1987 their second album,
Moonsongs
, was released.
Early Plague Years
is a repackaging of the band's first two albums. These records have been out of print and highly sought after by collectors for well over a decade and have never before been released on CD. They have been remixed and remastered, and the sound is far beyond the meager sonics of the original vinyl pressings."

Title:
A History Of Madness
Label:
CUNEIFORM
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
RUNE 180CD
"Thinking Plague is a Colorado-based ensemble that explores the aural frontier where rock (in all its manifestations), modern classical, folk, and jazz music meet.
A History of Madness
, presents a further maturation of the band's sound. Its warm, organic sound is due in part to the inclusion of acoustic instruments in the mix, which is also interwoven with electronic sounds and samples. The CD includes two soundscape pieces, 'War on Terra' and 'Le Gouffre', that leader Mike Johnson maintains:
'are really a departure for me, or a beginning, as it were, in that they are my first really serious forays into the realm of semi-composed, sonic environments rather than organized pieces or songs'
."

Repressed. "Combine the sound of the 5UUs with the Art Bears, add a (non-Dagmar-like) female singer & woodwinds & you come up with this unique US slant on the European art rock song sound."
