The mirror is a short, punchy and wordy record.
It largely attempts to draw a parellel between nationalism and impersonalism, that is to say a link between walls and barriers that we erect between each other and walls we erect between ourselves and other countries / cultures. Strangely enough ‘the mirror’ then links this in with walls in personal relationships by serving it up to the listener in this guise. It is in essence a talking book black comedy for the literally and metaphorically blind, and general critics of human ‘civilisation’.
It has an amazing instrumental called ‘The Abyssobenthic Zone’ which is intended to describe the strangest creatures of the deep sea. The Mirror ends with ‘You’re in my mind’ which is just like too many neurons firing at once and ends with the line “tonights song has been brought to you by severed organ advertising” !
