MALL OF THE MIND — 1987 VARIOUS ARTISTS · THE LABEL SAMPLER · RUNTIME: YES
A real ambient pad, synthesized live in your browser — four detuned oscillators through a lowpass filter, breathing on a slow LFO. Nothing plays until you press play. The tape has no other side.

THE CATALOG™

† All release dates are emotional, not historical. Cover art is generated deterministically from each catalog number — the same tape always dreams the same sunset.

ARTISTS™
全員実在しない・全員契約中
Palm Court Committee
中庭委員会
Six session players who only record between 2 and 4 AM, in hotel atriums scheduled for demolition. Their contract is a napkin.
Atarashii Yoru
ATARASHII YORU
Elevated-expressway balladry, recorded at 88 km/h. Signed to the label via a fax that arrived three days before it was sent.
Laguna Systems
ラグーナ・システムズ
The in-house band of a corporation with no products, no offices, and excellent quarterly vibes. Their training video won an award that does not exist.
Peristyle
ペリスタイル
Marble-room ambient. All vocals performed by statues; all statues credited by first name only. Tour dates announced exclusively in museum gift shops.
Food Court Mirror
フードコートの鏡
Field recordings of shopping centers, reflected until the crowd becomes weather. Their live shows are just doors, opening.
Label Manifesto · 宣言
A STATEMENT OF INTENT™
There is a mall you have visited only in dreams. The fountain runs. The palms are plastic and therefore eternal. Somewhere on the second floor, a keyboard demo has been playing since 1987, and no one has ever pressed stop.
誰も停止ボタンを押さなかった。
MIRAGE RECORDS™ exists to master, duplicate, and lovingly over-compress the music of such places. Places that were demolished before they were built. Hotels that appear only on expired brochures. The airport lounge between two cities that merged in 1991.
存在しない場所にも、営業時間がある。
We believe nostalgia is a place, not a time. We believe every escalator goes somewhere, eventually, if you stand on it long enough. We believe in the ™ symbol as a form of punctuation, decoration, and prayer.
ノスタルジアは時間ではなく、場所である。
All Mirage releases are limited to editions of zero. If you own one, check again.
