[4] Their first album to be released on vinyl, Mindset consists of two contrasting pieces titled "Rum Jungle" and "Daylights", the former propulsive and jangling and the latter more ambient in nature.

On "Rum Jungle", the first of the two typically long pieces here (both are over 20 minutes), these elements create a thick, clotted atmosphere which is enveloping but sometimes almost claustrophobic...

Instead of containing the usual solitary epic, there are two 21-minute pieces – “Rum Jungle” and “Daylights” – designed to sit on either side of an LP: quaintly, this is their first actual vinyl record in a 25-year career".

It may not have the soothing, immensely satisfying manner of their classic Drive By, but the trio have found other ways to chase their muse".
