Album Review: The Great Mundane - No Dumping In Jersey (Aligning Minds Remix)
Alright, let’s get into this quirky little gem from 2012. Aligning Minds dropped The Great Mundane - No Dumping In Jersey (Aligning Minds Remix) under their own label, Aligning Minds Music. It’s an electronic banger that leans hard into Breaks and IDM vibes, making it feel like the soundtrack to a cyberpunk road trip you never took but totally should.
Now, I’m gonna zoom in on two tracks here because ain’t nobody got time for a full tracklist breakdown. First up, obviously, is the titular remix: "No Dumping In Jersey (Aligning Minds Remix)." This thing hits like a caffeine jolt at 3 AM. The beat kicks in with these glitchy, stuttering breaks that make your brain go, “Wait… what just happened?” Then BAM—you’re locked into this hypnotic groove that refuses to let go. The production feels meticulous yet playful, like they spent hours tweaking every sound but still left room for chaos to sneak in. Honestly, it’s the kind of track that makes you wanna clean your room or run a marathon—or both. Multitasking goals unlocked.
Another standout? Well, there’s only one track mentioned, so I’ll riff off its brilliance some more. But seriously, if this remix were a person, it’d be that friend who shows up uninvited to parties and ends up being the life of the event. You know, the one who convinces everyone to jump in the pool fully clothed? Yeah, THAT vibe.
What sticks with me most about this release is how effortlessly it blends chaos and precision. Like, sure, it’s technically impressive as heck—IDM doesn’t mess around—but it’s also got this mischievous streak running through it. It's like listening to a robot try stand-up comedy; awkward sometimes, genius other times, always entertaining.
Reflection time: Listening to this album feels like finding a secret handshake you didn’t know existed. And honestly? That’s kinda beautiful. If music could wink at you, this whole project would be batting its eyelashes nonstop. So yeah, give it a spin if you dig beats that challenge your eardrums while tickling your soul. Or if you just need something weird to blast during your next existential crisis.
Unexpected remark: Why ISN’T there dumping in Jersey, though? Asking for a friend.
