Vaporizer was a song recorded in 2006 and featured in an award winning independent zombie film, "Bled White." This track brings an underground industrial feel that isn't typically associated with Fluid Minds. During the time of this recording, we drew a lot of our influences from Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, & Muse… which explains the different vibe of the material. With this in mind, we felt that the week of Halloween & Dia de los Muertos would be a great opportunity to finally release Vaporizer.
The idea behind this release was to include some of our other experimental tracks that fit the same "dark side" theme as Vaporizer. Most of the songs started as demo beats/compositions from various members of the group. They've collected dust over the years, but have been re-worked specifically for this album. We hope you appreciate our passion to try new things as musicians. Please enjoy these free unreleased tracks on behalf of Fluid Minds.
