Originally recorded in 2003, coming off the heels of the Neo-Swing movement in music, G-Clef da Mad Komposa’s brainchild, The Yalloppin’ Hounds was “converted” into a new, innovative direction. The band Rayzd was born, which began recording a debut album entitled “Fear is the Mind Killer”, featuring a collection of original songs, as well as some eclectic derivative works. Based on a “Dune” theme, the project explored various subject matter, and ventured into a diverse blending of styles of music, from all things jazz, hip-hop, acid jazz, rock, drum & bass, world music, and alternative pop. As a result there really is no way to properly categorize Rayzd. This album showed once again how G-Clef has, and would continue to innovate modern music, in the new millennium. The frontline of Rayzd was G-Clef himself, vocalist Janineko, rapper Archangel Metatron, vocalist and bassist Peter Hartmann, percussionist/drummer Marlon Sobol, as well as keyboards by Joe Ashlar. Now, in 2023, G-Clef has decided to present a digitally remastered version, using the latest in sound shaping technology. So here, for the first time since its first release in 2003, we present this classic album in shiny, brand new packaging and spatial audio sound.
