UMUR
"Mindwaves" is the 2nd full-length studio album by German thrash metal act Assorted Heap. The album was released through 1 MF in April 1992. Assorted Heap was a relatively shortlived act and they only released "The Experience of Horror (1991)" debut full-length studio album and "Mindwaves" before disbanding.

Compared to the relatively harsh US influenced death/thrash sound of "The Experience of Horror (1991)", "Mindwaves" overall comes off as slightly more sophisticated. The band still emphasize technical playing and to some extent structural complexity (check out a track like "What I Confess"), but the rawness of the debut album is not as present on "Mindwaves". In other words this is more "thrash" than "death".

The band are very well playing and the sound production is relatively well sounding too. A bit thin sounding maybe, but otherwise it does the music justice. So overall "Mindwaves" is a quality release by Assorted Heap and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
