Micronism - Inside a Quiet Mind (1998, Remastered 2017)

Inside A Quiet Mind came out on the Aukland-based Kog Transmissions in 1998. One of only two Micronism releases, it remained obscure until the recent Delsin reissue of Steps To Recovery, an EP originally released in 1999. Now, New Zealand label Loop Recordings is reissuing Inside A Quiet Mind, which sees McCarthy explore minimalist dub techno and ambient across 11 remastered tracks. It's out on July 21st.

"You will be tinkering away with a sound, a chord, a rhythm, and then something will catch your attention, something that sounds good to you," McCarthy says about his production style. "From there, it's just a matter of adding more elements until you get what occurs to you as a finished piece. I have recorded so many songs, but only a small percentage I actually like and stand the test of time."
