MIND AND MEDIA

A Mind and Media Index is a Martin Hall music cassette released on mail order basis. It was only made available in 100 copies and remains very rare.

The contents feature contributions from Mind and Media artists such as Irma Victoria, And Then Again, Read Only Memory and Aud Wilken. Henrik Möll also appears as the voice of Rota.

The tracks “European Need” and “The Vortex” by Irma Victoria are both remixes of the original versions of the songs featured on her debut album The Rainbow Theatre from 1990.

Mind and Media was a company ran by Martin Hall and John L. Christensen in the period 1989–1994. Christensen designed the cassettes and handled the mail order service of the business. He is also rumoured to feature on synthesizer on some of the label’s releases though no one knows which.

APRIL 1991
MIND AND MEDIA (MM2000)

Read Only Memory is a group name and an album made by Martin Hall and Aud Wilken. The project was entitled so in reference to the data concept, indicating that there was no access to the group. This meant that the duo gave no interviews and performed no concerts.

A few years later Aud Wilken gave Denmark its first top 5 appearance in 40 years at the International Eurovision Song Contest in 1995.

SACRIFICE

In the heart of the city
In the heart of the night
There’s a rhythm of reason
There’s a rhythm inside

Love is a sacrifice
It’s like a sacrifice

In the cries and the whispers
In the call of the night
Everything has its reason
And everything has its price

COIL OF LOVE

You
You’re on my mind
I looked and I found
I know you’re the one

You
You’re on my mind
My heart has gone blind
It only knows you

Now I’m my own person
And that’s so much that it’s a pleasure to share it
If the world was all empty
Then I don’t think I could bear it
It’s not that I wanna own you
It’s just that I wanna de-alone you
It’s not that I wanna hold you too tight

You
You’re on my mind
I looked and I found
I know you’re the one

Now I can remember
How my early days would be all insane
Going wild, to the limit
To get this feeling again

WHITE FEVER

There’s only one pain left in the mirror
There’s only one word left on the wall
There’s only one good reason for living
There’s only thing left to recall

It keeps me burning on
Like a fever
It keeps me burning on
Like a fire inside

Now here’s a song for the brain and the heartache
And here’s a song for the love on the way
We’re born alone in a world of tomorrow
We’re born alone but we ain’t gonna stay

It keeps me burning on
Like a fever
It keeps me burning on
Like a fire inside

It’s burning on

I see a face in the mirror, a face that I call me
I see the tracks in my face of the 20th century
I’ve got a pain deep inside, a pain that isn’t new
I got a scar in my heart of the things I’ve been through

Now there’s a bad moon rising, it’s rising on the sky
I got the angel of anger walking by my side
I’ve found a way to survive, a way to spend my time
‘Cause I’ve heard about the future and I’m gonna make it mine

COLOUR OF THE MOON

And I’m taking
And Im faking
And I’m waiting for my soul to awaken
Sudden taking
That’s why I’m faking
And I’m waiting for my thoughts to awaken

So don’t you wonder why?
I’m changing the ways now
And wonder why
I’m cleaning my heart know
And wonder why
I’m taking a step now
And wonder why

Honest like a core
Honest like a tune
Honest like the colour of the moon
‘Cause it stays, yea it stays
Clear as every truth
Clear as every leaf
Clean as any longing of belief
‘Cause it stays, yea it stays

So don’t you wonder why?
I’m cleaning my heart now
And wonder why
I’m taking a step now
And wonder why
I’m well on the way now
And wonder why
I’m healing my heart now
I wonder why

I wonder why
I wonder when
I’m gonna be clean again

COMPULSION

Tell the tale
Tell it one more time
Under my skin

Read Only Memory’s work was based on Martin Hall’s production and Aud Wilken’s vocals and was the continuation of their collaboration since they recorded the song “Brainwash” for the The Hall of Mirrors music cassette in 1989. The duo also released the single “All the Way Down”.

Wilken has appeared on several Hall projects as both lead and backing vocalist. She performs several tracks on his 1990 album Imperfect and has contributed to the two Irma Victoria albums The Rainbow Theatre (1990) and Phantasmagoria (1994).

The Rainbow Theatre is the Danish “diva” Irma Victoria’s debut album. The singer was 67 years old at the time of the release.

In the beginning of 1991 Irma Victoria astounded the Danish press and music industry by being nominated to a Grammy in the category “Best Female Singer” of the year – thereby duelling with high-ranking names such as multi-platinum artist Hanne Boel and Annisette from the legendary Danish rock group Savage Rose.

Having sung cabaret songs during her younger years, a career in the Danish military ended this outlet. However, Irma Victoria’s love of singing made her reappear as a singer many decades later on the Martin Hall production The Hall of Mirrors, a music cassette released in September 1989.

Irma Victoria’s contribution, the “Memorial” song, was an unforgettable experience for most listeners. Encouraged by this success Irma Victoria took part in the recording of the 7″ ep Palladium in 1990, a process that led to the release of her debut album, The Rainbow Theatre, only a couple of months later.

In the beginning of 1991 Irma Victoria astounded the Danish press and music industry by being nominated to a Grammy in the category “Best Female Singer” of the year – thereby duelling with high-ranking music business stars such as multi-platinum artist Hanne Boel and Annisette from the legendary Danish rock group Savage Rose. Although Irma Victoria (obviously) did not win the trophy, she did manage to shock the system and gain a solid underground gathering by token of her vocal audacity.

When Irma Victoria died in 2000, 77 years old, several international artists expressed their grief with her passing. Among names such as Jean Pierre Turmel from the French avant-garde label French Sordide Sentimental and Martyn Jacques from the renowned English cabaret band The Tiger Lillies, the most fierce appraisal of her talent probably came from Douglas P., singer and front figure in Death in June, as he wrote the following in the cover notes for the posthumously released compilation album Memorial – Finest Moments and Famous Last Words:

“Her work was fantastic. May her soul live forever.”

7″ EP
SEPTEMBER 1990
MIND AND MEDIA (PALLADIUM 1-2)

Palladium is a set of recordings made shortly after the release of the Martin Hall album Imperfect. Both titles resemble the modus operandi of The Hall of Mirrors music cassette from 1989, i.e. the various guest vocalists and theatrical manners involved on the recordings.

The 7” extended play-single was printed in a limited edition of 500 copies and the cover features a photo of a five or six years old Hall in something similar to a preparatory school uniform.

PALLADIUM (1)

Never thought I’d ever be myself
Thought I was within my prison-cell
‘Cause the window gave the view
That all to know was what I knew

Sharing weaknesses with so-called friends
In a game that’s called “it never ends”
Had to leave it all behind

In this Palladium

And I know you know it all
Behind mirrors, behind walls
In your Palladium

EMOTIONAL ENGINEERING

Hysteria moves inside me
Hysteria moves around

I need emotional engineering
I need emotional tuning inside

The luxury of pleasure’s inside me
The luxury of pleasure’s around

END OF THE LINE

The theatre of mind
The theatre of reason
Is haunted all the time
By the angels of anger

You can “do what thou wilt” in a self-love devotion
Feel intense in the pool of perverted emotion

At the edge of the knife
At the edge of the knife that divides
At the end of the line
The only measure is reason

IMITATION

Imitation
Stimulation

PALLADIUM

And in the night
The rain is falling down
As white on white
A flame is burning
As dust to dust
The faces disappear
A heaven lost
A shadow falling

In this Palladium

The crowds outside
They hunger for a dream
This time of night
Desires rising
A shadow cast
It falls in black and white
What can I do but to surrender?

MARTIN HALL
LP/CD
MAY 1990
VIRGIN RECORDS (260798)

To some degree Imperfect was a continuation of the conceptual ideas behind The Hall of Mirrors music cassette released in 1989, in the sense that Martin Hall continued to work with other singers and use sound environments as much as regular melodies to create the flow of the album.

With recitations and theatrical sound effects the record successfully blended promo-single tracks such as “Prime Material” and “Between the Two” with audio scenes read by the Dutch scholar Stephen Muires.

INTRODUCTION

“Imperfect” is a Mind and Media recording originally entitled “Imperfect Music for an Imperfect World”. It is a soundtrack for 20th century reality and constitutes a theatre of reflection wherein each may enact their own part.

SYSTEM

City blood
The desires and the needs
Never last
‘Cause I’ll bite the hands that feeds
Pressure burns
Like a fire of demand
Dust to dust
In a now-here of command

I need a system
In the satori of the night
I need a system
In the exposure of the light

Rhythm beats
In my brain and in my blood
Tears of dust
But the pressures never stop
Fever burns
In the mania of the night
Turning point
In the circles of the light

I need a system
In the satori of the night
I need a system
In the exposure of the light

I can’t predict the future
I can’t forget the past
But at the point of no return
Only the either-or will last

PRIME MATERIAL

The alchemy of our time lies in the term “making things matter”. In a world where most people know the price of everything, but the value of nothing, this wisdom remains priceless – priceless, because it cannot be bought for money, but at the same time doesn’t cost anything. The “Prime Material” is possibility.

Modern life
So-called welfare
It lives inside you like a dream in the night
A sophisticated nightmare
It’s gonna blind you with its sweetest delight

Stimulus governs
Stimulus rules
It governs the trials
It governs the views

Prime material
Transformation of waste
Age of ice
Age of fire
And it’s been later than you think for a while
Living myth
The survivors
An inner freedom’s gonna start with denial

The self-pity ends where reason begins
The theatre stage is rice paper thin
Prime material
Transformation of waste

You’ll know yourself by the resistance
It either breaks you or it makes you stronger

BETWEEN THE TWO

Nothing rests, everything moves. Movement is symmetry, rhythm is void – that is, vacant in itself, beyond the elements which compose it. This is different to emptiness – this is plasma.

The serpent fire keeps burning in my blood
The driving forces, my defiance and my love
The river of time has washed my heart and soul
The inner fires are under my control
But it’s taken time
It’s taken so long

Love is a reason
Changing as it burns
Love is a moment
A now of no return
Beyond emotion
Closer all the time
A true surrender
In my heart and in my mind

All we see and touch is a scenery to pass
Within it all, we’re the first and we’re the last
Between the two
A changing reason
Between the two
The never ceasing

ANOTHER CHAPTER

Understanding is taking the consequence; not knowing all about it.

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
A fantasy world of omni-science
Heavens and ambitions
In showrooms of the mind
In another chapter of forgotten time

Faces disappearing in memory and mind
But you, you know it all in your identity design
Things are what they are, no matter what you feel
Endeavour is the key, not the mastermind ideal
And if you don’t agree
Well then you don’t agree

So come on little playtime Hitler
Forget your intellectual parades
There are no final solutions, only final denials
No need for vain display
I’ve seen your religion and I’ve seen your inner border
And my spit is more sacred than all your holy water
‘Cause it’s of flesh and blood

RED ROOM

Id-entity condensed, fix-fix-fix and a 3-numbered rhyme. Ignorance is no excuse. Ignorance is a self-chosen attitude.

Thing
Door
Free Power
Dog’s blood rising

MASQUERADE

Drama or Dharma, the dis-play continues. At the end of the line the only measure is reason.

As a witness to the shadows
Fingers search for time
While these patterns of deception
Guide our hearts and minds
I guess it’s all rite
I guess it’s ritual
But you pervert it with your lies
A modern symphony of end results is what’s looking through your eyes

The tragicomic shifts from person A to B
While you pomp and circumstance it with identity
Give us some erasure baby
Show us what you’re really like
In between the pressures rising from the crushed delight
So come on baby
I can’t wait for your yes and your no

Almost there
But semi-sensuals never touch
Almost there
Where far too much is not enough

So pick a word and sing a song
But do it now, because it won’t be long
Before we have to say goodbye
In this scenario of passing thoughts
You sing your self-reflection blues
But malfunction Malkuth baby
I know the tune

So give us drama baby
Give us all you never were
While you crawl around in mud
Begging for a choice
A bit of but will soothe the pain
A bit of something else
Although it’s much too late to ask
You can always try

So come on baby
I can’t wait
I want to rip you inside out

So welcome to the circus of hate
And welcome to the mind masquerade
Where semi-sensuals never touch
Where far too much is not enough

In the masquerade
Where lovers die by lovers’ touch
In the mind parade
Where far too much is not enough

NOCTURNE IN BLUE

”Nocturne in Blue” is written in the shadow of “Stardust”, a Reader’s Digest album release from 1963. The song has been recorded through a radio monitor to imitate the sound of this recording.

And as the stardust falls
Nocturnally yours
A moonlight serenade
Burning in blue

Wildfires burning on the hills not far away
Angels and devils on their yesterdays
Imagination or the kingdom of the fool
It’s all moving closer under blind men’s rule

But as the stardust falls …

SEGMENT

As one side is shown
The other is hidden
As one thing is known
Another is veiled

My love
All things are passing
In this world of moments in time
My love
I don’t know you
All I know is what I believe

The album also contains an excerpt from Hall’s Requiem, “Dies Irae”, a piece of music written for organ and performed live at a church in Copenhagen in December 1989. The title was dedicated to at the time recently deceased Presence co-producer Flemming Nygaard.

Imperfect was unanimously praised by the press but didn’t – obviously (in the light of its contents) – reach the same popularity as its predecessor, the chart album Presence. The promotion single “Prime Material” nevertheless received a fair degree of airplay.

In the same period of time Virgin Records also released the Audio-Visual videocassette, a collection of recent Martin Hall music videos (“Beat of the Drum” and “Real Thing”) as well as a series of coherent, more abstract visual works entitled The Point of No Return.

The VHS contained the videos for the Martin Hall singles “Beat of the Drum” and “Real Thing” as well as a series of coherent, more abstract visual works entitled The Point of No Return.

All sequences filmed at Riot & Rota and Feltwave 1988–1989.

REAL THING

River deep, mountain high
Out of the blue

As pure as the real thing
The state and the feeling
It leaves me no doubt of what needs to be done
A thunder’s been raging
A choice has been taken
To never look back
To be one of the few

While all things must pass
A fire will burn, purify – never change
It’s seen in the sky
As there’s so much more to this than meets the eye
It’s something within
The longing inside is the drive that allows
The work to be done

River deep, mountain high
A shadow inside
In the light of a greatness from which none can hide
Out of the blue, into the fire
And I’m stronger than ever in my one surrender
A red storm arising
Now I know what I want
And I know how to get it
It’s calling within and without

As pure as the real thing
The state and the feeling
It leaves me no doubt of what needs to be done
A thunder’s been raging
A choice has been taken
To never look back
To be one of the few

I know it ’cause I feel it
I don’t need no further proof to believe it
There’s a guiding light
Burning inside out
As pure as the real thing

I return
In the light of the sun
A shadow is cast of a moment in time
Like turns of the tide
In the still of the night it begins
What is is to be

BEAT OF THE DRUM

Now one day I woke up to some rules of life
That a serious heart needs a light mind to survive
That if you only hope you won’t get very far
‘Cause dreams call for action

No matter what you want the way is to begin
‘Cause knowing all about it is not the living thing
And those who sit and ask for great things all the time
Well I hope they’ve sorted out the many small things on the line

A focus inside out
The still of the centre
You must live by demand
But also surrender

As the beat of the drum beats the ghosts on the run
So the beat of my heart keeps me wondering
Now it’s been said this world is a stage
Well then if that is true
It’s an unwritten play
That makes being a becoming

It’s so easy seen when it’s someone else
But are you any better when you’re by yourself
‘Cause in this hall of mirrors you’re in a counterpoint
Where it takes one to recognize one

Now there are those who say that life is hard and then you die
Well petty leads to pity if you do not wonder why
‘Cause the way to solve a problem is to get a bigger one
So to those who cry for freedom
Well there’s working to be done

THEME

Regain your human rights
Surviving
The countdown
Face the fact

Born to die

Cut down to black and white
Love under will
