Dropped is a 1993 album by Mind Funk. The title is a reference to the loss of their recording contract with Epic Records prior to releasing this album.
Production
The band was about to start recording sessions for the album when they were informed that Epic had dropped them. Producer Terry Date encouraged the band to stay together, record the album in Seattle, and use a cheaper and more live recording style.[3]
Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "competent and tasteful but undistinguished," writing that "[guitarists] Everman and Svitek whip up smartly modulated guitar noise bolstered by a strong, slightly stiff rhythm section and functional tunes."[4]
