So much scorn is directed towards this one from FLA and for the life of me I don't get why. Serious atmospheres? Check. Horror movie samples? Check. Addictive programming? Check. Manic syncopation? Check. It really puzzles me how this album became the black sheep of the band's catalog.

If you weren't listening to this in the 80s, then perhaps that is why it makes no sense and you view it as trivial. For those of us who were, State of Mind is much much more than a simple collection of songs slapped on a disc (or vinyl for we creaking import buyers of yore). State of Mind is a journey, a voyage. It's not like their later works in that it is primarily focused on getting inside your head and not provoking your feet to move.

This record truly lives up to the title of being a record, it's a snapshot of 1987/88 and what was going on not only in the electronic underground but also the politics of the day (the Tamil tigers sample ought to prove this point). Plenty of bands clearly have listened to this one and come away with more than an idea or two. State of Mind is often dismissed as puppy homage or yet another example of Leeb's admiration for Portion Control. Nothing could be further from the truth because much like Delerium's early releases, State of Mind is quite arduous to take in.

I suspect when he split from the dog, this is what Wilhelm had in mind (sic) for his own sound, his own expression and he nails it here. Say what you will about the band's later work, it's the subject of countless online edit wars but State of Mind is unassailable in it's brilliance. Even the glitches in programming and sampling only highlight what technical odds anyone in the 1980s had to overcome to produce this kind of work.

I leave it to the pundits to argue over what "genre" State of Mind falls within. It's the soundtrack of post-apocalyptic sun scorched serenity to me. Any serious fan of experimental electronic work with a bent to the dark side of things would be well served owning a masterpiece such as this one.
