The name, which was chosen not without awareness of the threat of vulgarity, is meant with honesty and, in a sense, generosity. Apparently, the term has been accepted in the psychological community to mean an extremely confusing or disturbing experience. Here, it is an offer to explore that state and come to accept it and enjoy it. The listener is a silent participant welcomed to re-examine what is considered pleasurable, what is fun, and what constitutes balance and structure.

Piano, bass, and electronics co-mix here to create a calm discourse that examines more than it asks or tries to answer. Those expecting to be jarred or unsettled may find the peaceful serendipity of M!ndf*kc disconcerting. Clear lines and pure sounds turn and twist as though obstructions do not exist. The development from climax to anti-climax, from stasis to passage, seems like the inevitable result of either careful planning or sheer faith in probability. After attentively navigating, without judgment, the connections along the way, finding sense and meaning in the upset of stability is where the music finishes. (Edward Reardon)
