Active Minds - The lunatics have taken over the asylum Flexi

"If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet above a field somewhere, people would come from everywhere to marvel at it. People would walk around it, marvelling at its big pools of water, its little pools and the water flowing between the pools. People would marvel at the bumps on it, and the holes in it, and they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in the gas. The people would marvel at all the creatures walking around the surface of the ball, and at the creatures in the water. The people would declare it precious because it was the only one, and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder known, and people would come to behold it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty and to wonder how it could be. People would love it, and defend it with their lives, because they would somehow know that their lives, their own roundness, could be nothing without it. If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter." (Texto impreso en el flexi).

Punk, punk, punk... ¡Qué discazo de esta pareja de fructíferos lunáticos del norte de Inglaterra! Nunca sabré con exactitud cuántos discos tienen grabados los Active Minds (entre elepés, epés, compartidos con todo tipo de grupos de todo el mundo, cassettes, recopilatorios) pero este flexi de una sola cara es sin duda uno de mis preferidos. Cinco canciones sacadas en colaboración con nueve sellos d.i.y. de todas partes del mundo (y con las letras y sus explicaciones personales traducidas en un montón de idiomas como solían hacer) por menos de veinte duros. Esto es punk. ¡Vivan los flexis!

"Los héroes de guerra reciben medallas brillantes mientras los criminales de guerra se enfrentan a una pistola. La única diferencia ente ellos es que los héroes ganaron."

Sacado en 1994 por Loony Tunes de Inglaterra (el sello del grupo), Per Koro Records de Alemania, React de Francia, Grinding Madness Records de Bélgica, Fobia de España, D.I.Y. Records de Japón, F.J.A de Brasil, Resistance Productions de Suiza y Nikt Nic Nie Wie de Polonia.

"Los lunáticos han tomado el manicomio".
