Mainesthai is yet another Mentallo & The Fixer side project, that has been
remastered and reissued on Metropolis Records. As with Benestrophe, the music
has been entirely written by the Dassing brothers, but the vocals have been
relegated to someone else, in this case Michael Green. As a result the music is
very similar to early era Mentallo & The Fixer with a fair number of movie
samples and heavy emphasis on keyboards. However, unlike other side projects,
there is a fair amount of odd percussion and other rhythmic elements. My key
complaint with this album is the vocal work. Mr. Greene has chosen to utilize
very stereotypical effects processing which is very uninspiring and ultimately
boring. Unfortunately, due to the lack of typical Dassing instrumentals, this
means that the audience has to suffer for the entire length of the album.
Mainesthai will definitely appeal to fans of any Mentallo & The Fixer project,
but if you are looking for something new, look elsewhere, as this album is
about five years old, and it sounds very dated.
Mainesthai is:
Michael Green - vocals
Dwayne Dassing - guitars, programming
Gary Dassing - programming
