    Split EP with Kontra Orden (from Colombia) - originally planned for release over two decades ago, but communication in the pre-internet age broke down and the idea was lost - until now. The Kontra Orden songs (4 of them) are their original 1999 recordings, whilst ours from that time had long since disappeared or been used elsewhere, so the Active Minds recordings are new ones (recorded in 2021). Released in the USA - 400 copies pressed, on white vinyl.

lyrics

There are people who want you to believe
That the system is working, but we’re not so naïve.
There are people who want you to think
That everything’s sweet - if you can ignore the stink.
There are those who expect us to be
Content with the failings they seem too blind to see.
This capitalist system will always ensure
That there’s an endless supply of the desperately poor.

If the truth’s an inconvenience
It’s just airbrushed out of the picture.
If they don’t like the consequence
It’s just airbrushed out of the picture.
They don’t want you to see the connections,
So they’re airbrushed out of the picture.
The inconsistencies can’t stand close inspection,
So they’re airbrushed out of the picture.

They talk of success, and ignore the mess -
The victims forgotten by a system that’s rotten.

Airbrushed out of the picture.

Where are the thinkers who don’t wear the blinkers?
Where are the voices who offer us choices?
