Description

Fueled by a distaste for all that is mainstream, Mike Leporte decided to form his own one-man band as an outlet for a dizzying array of cosmic noise that sounds nothing like anything that anyone has ever done before. The name of this intriguing new project is Used Alien Mind, and that unique moniker is accompanied by plenty of unique noise.

Used Alien Mind's debut effort, Positive Mental Theme, is an otherworldly listening experience that does its best to showcase the range of Leporte's musical abilities. "Kid Mental" opens the album with a Ramones-esque blast of distorted punk rock that evokes memories of the genre's early days. But before you get settled into any sort of routine, along comes "The Dirtbombs." This track takes a more mid-tempo and shoe-gazing approach, concentrating less on energetic aggression and more on melodic atmospherics.

"Tomorrow Never Comes" slows things down even more, using little more than vocals, acoustic guitar, and a few spacey effects to get its point across. The spotlight shines solely on Leporte's skills as a songwriter, but those skills seem perfectly capable of withstanding any added pressure this may cause. And just when you thought the album was slowing down and settling in, you get rocked by "Open Your Eyes Space Cadet," an infectious and psychedelic track that sounds as though it came from beyond this world.

Things continue this way throughout the remaining eleven tracks, making for a musical rollercoaster ride that takes you through an array of moods, tempos, and atmospheres. It's a wildly exhilarating ride, and it shows you a variety of musical landscapes you have probably never heard before. By the time the album is finished, it could very well change the way you hear things from this point forward.
