darwyn Sjunne Ferger is the virtuoso you hadn't heard of then discovered. Think Peter Gabriel 'So' level of sonic quality. Why don't more artists use massive chord changes? Favorite track: Reality.

Michael Feihstel Highly anticipated reissue. Sjunne Ferger's "Childrens Mind" has been fantastic and this is the icing on the cake, not least becaue of the outstanding opener "Reality". Favorite track: Reality.

Sneakerxpimp Sjunne was a true musical spirit and his passion permeates through every audible crevice of Mindgames, from the dancing confusion of Reality, to the sentient realizations of Controller, all the way through to the ethereal ender, Destiny. Strangelove did an utterly fantastic job with the quality of this remaster, showcasing Ferger & Exit in all of their glory. Cheers to them for the great work. Favorite track: Candlelight.

about

Occupying its own hinterland within Scandinavia's early 80s electronic/ progressive movements, ‘Mindgames’ navigates a lifetime of musical and personal exploration by Sjunne Ferger.

Child jazz drummer prodigy, arts venue operator, music teacher and Aikido practitioner, a bewildering array of personal & creative influences are distilled into the Örebro native’s only long player. Written around a new wave context, his own jazz fusion roots and at times with an unintentionally balearic outcome, Sjunne goes some way to conjuring up a singular sounding album of the time.

Narratives of love and loss, calls to self-empowerment and mindfulness, the new age zeal throughout follows Sjunne’s own awakening. Its music caught in meditative reflection one mo-ment before propelling into ecstatic revelation the next, with Sjunne’s collective ‘Exit’ providing electric backing throughout. Propelled by the Drummer’s beat, its hard not to be caught up with Sjunne’s personal vision of a ‘Polymood Music’

Painstakingly transferred and fully remastered from the original tapes, with new liner notes and photography in the vinyl edition. Mindgames follows Strangelove’s previous issue of Sjunne’s early singles and soundtrack work on “Childrens Mind” (SL106)
