From the snarling visceral "Good Morning Beautiful" to the nihilistically prophetic toe-tapper (written 21 years ago, folks) of "Armageddon Days are Here (Again)" to the sweaty exhibition of a doomed relationship in "Kingdom Of Rain" to the resigned acceptance of mediocrity in "The Beat(en) Generation"- this caresses your head as it fondles your base emotions. The The released their official studio album debut, the synth-noir classic Soul Mining, in 1983. It featured the minor UK No.71 hit " This Is the Day", as well as a new recording of the The performing "Uncertain Smile". Produced by Johnson and Paul Hardiman, it featured guest appearances from Orange Juice's drummer Zeke Manyika, Jools Holland, Thomas Leer and JG Thirlwell (a.k.a. Foetus).

An extremely difficult weapon to control, a thought bomb subjected its creators and those nearby to a host of potentially fatal dangers, [4] and to even attempt the ritual was widely considered an act of suicide. [6] During the creation of Kaan's bomb on Ruusan, three of his Dark Jedi died, while others went insane; the Sith Master-at-arms had to execute those before they entered a killing rage.

If Infected seethed and rattled with claustrophobic urgency and loathing, and it did, then Mind Bomb was slow, expansive, looming into inexorable life with a rage that smouldered rather than flamed. It creeps up on you, on 'Good Morning Beautiful', with what sounds like a muezzin's call, which for one reason and another it's likely no major label act would dare to use today (although it might be a Qawwal; it isn't credited and I haven't the ear to tell.) Next, a blast of sluggish brass over ominous piano chords, and pattering, insinuating percussion. Then Johnson's voice, a tense, febrile tenor, a voice living on its nerves, near breaking point, teetering here and there into an aspirated growl, sizzling when pressed against the side of the pan.

And in some countries where Greenpeace have been operating for a long time there is a shrug of the shoulders and ‘there they go again’.”

The lovely moments in the archives are the bits where Bob Hunter goes ‘OK this is a film thing’ when they come across the first dead whale that they find. And the sense that primarily they are going out to capture a very specific David and Goliath image, which will play a certain way in people’s minds. That’s what Hunter pioneered,” Rothwell said. This, bear in mind, was four years before Operation Desert Shield, and already Johnson saw the American century, America's global power and America's global ambitions, failing and falling in a Middle Eastern graveyard. Mind Bomb, which spread itself, lava-like, into a burning lake of foreboding about the West and Middle East, was released a year before the invasion of Kuwait. The second Gulf War, the Iraq War, was still fourteen years away. Matt Johnson was right. He saw it coming. And we laughed at him, the way one does at prophets. Because he'd really overdone the fire and brimstone this time.
