The first of many releases under the Experimental Audio Research name, Mesmerised was a way for Sonic Boom to pursue even more experimental and improvisational performances beyond Spectrum (which given where he’d be taking them anyway was saying something). A strictly solo effort, Mesmerised consists of four flowing pieces that are in essence one lengthy one, a layering of keyboards, processed feedback, electronic tones and a generally warm, thick sound that is as close to representing a psychedelic experience as could be asked.
