MAINESTHAI is the project that the Dassing brothers created in 1994 together with vocalist Michael Greene.

Brainchild of the two Texan brothers Gary and Dwayne Dassing, MENTALLO & THE FIXER is definitely one of the most influential American electro/industrial bands of the last 20 years.

Highly emotional and complex, their music is characterized by snarling distorted vocals, hard cutting sequencer rhythms and a thunderous beat. Always projecting himself into the future, Gary Dassing has throughout his career, constantly been reinventing his sound, offering an impressive list of avant-garde electronic music releases on renown labels like Zoth Ommog, Metropolis Records and Alfa Matrix.

After a catharsis of another 5 years of silent isolation, MENTALLO & THE FIXER is now ready to delivery to their faithful “old-school” fanbase a double LP collection gathering with 17 tracks:  mostly exclusive and previously unreleased material spanning throughout the years back to 1987 until 1996. There is much from the Zoth Ommog era of MENTALLO & THE FIXER and even prior to that. “I like the demos much better, they sound more raw.”, Gary Dassing says.

There are 2 LP´s of back catalogue filled to capacity with old gems – much of it unheard or released, taken from the artists’ private collection of old master tapes and fully remastered, re-edited and amplified by Gary Dassing… The perfect present for the die hards and collectors making the hardcopy much much more special in the days of downloads.

“Music From The Eather” is kind of the soundtrack to the scenario with all its urgency and uncontrolled chaos. Armed with his heavy multi-layered synthetic sounds, MENTALLO & THE FIXER morphs into a sonic alchemist in search for the profound introspective experience that will alter everything forever. Using his tortured soul like a tuning fork, the American artist translates the weird memories of that nervous everlasting night into a dense, complex and mind-boggling piece of art, some sort of extravagant electro/industrial sonic diary of a drug fiend. It is simply amazing how such an influential band with an impressive career and expanding discography still dares challenging himself album after album by totally reinventing his sound instead of rehashing the easy recipe of success.

“I just wanted to create pieces of work that sonically pushed the envelope in other avenues that i had not done before. I wanted the music to speak for itself… I just wanted to work on music that would stimulate my ears. I wanted to do things that would trip me out!”, says Gary Dassing.

Well, “Music From The Eather” is exactly that! An avant-garde schizophrenic masterpiece filled with ultra-complex synth arrangements layered on devastating upbeat sequencer rhythms and haunting samples. More than ever, MENTALLO & THE FIXER will make your head turn and offers you an ear-challenging paranoid soundscape rich in detailed production work that guarantees multiple sound discoveries still after over a dozen of listens. Restricted to trained ears and fans of the likes of SKINNY PUPPY, DOWNLOAD, Uwe Schmidt, etc. Let music be your medicine and bring you into oneness with everything. Be cautious using this substance!

This 3CD is only available as a download via Bandcamp (see player below).
