Album Notes

Biography

Mindgames is a rockband from Belgium playing (progressive) rock. The band was founded in 1997 by Eric Vandormael (exit 2006) and Bart Schram. For almost a year and a half the band consisted of four members. In 1999 they recorded a demo, featuring the songs Mental Argue, Signs From The Sky, and Dreamin’ The Circus. In 2000 Rudy Vander Veken joined, so completing the line-up of the band. At the end of 2002 they released their debut CD International Daylight. On the album you can hear that the band is mostly influenced by Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis and Frank Zappa. Later on, International Daylight was distributed by the French label Musearecords. Thanks to this the band received favourable reviews from all over the world. After a few gigs, they manage to build up a strong live reputation. The year 2005 is totally taken up by the composition of new songs. At the beginning of 2006 Mindgames released their second album Actors In A Play, produced by Frank Van Bogaert. The concept album is a six-act story, focusing on each of the actors in turn, and finally coming to the inevitable conclusion that the world is just one giant play. Now M!ndgames is working on their third album: more dynamics, more power, more energy... Something to look forward to. We'll keep you posted.
