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. 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. A classic album in shiny, brand new packaging and spatial audio sound.
