All In The Mind (album)
''All in the Mind'' is the sole studio album by American house music act the Bucketheads, released in August 1995 by Big Beat Records in the United States and shortly after by Positiva Records in the United Kingdom. Unimpressed with what he perceived to be fellow producers copying his characteristic style, producer Kenny "Dope" Gonzales launched the Bucketheads as a stylistic detour to explore influences such as disco, hip hop and Latin music, hoping to throw his audience a 'curveball'. He recorded ''All in the Mind'' over a period of three days in his Brooklyn home studio, using an E-mu SP-1200 and Akai S950 for the production of beats and samples. The record combines house music with disco and funk, and is characterised by its use of contemporary tribal beats and bass lines and 1970s-style horns and related influences. Henry Street Music released the album's first single, "Whew!", to acclaim from club disc jockeys. The second single, "The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind)" ...
