For 1998's In Mass Mind, their second studio album and fourth long-player overall, the Make-Up recruited Adam & Eve -- a.k.a. Royal Trux's Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema -- for production duties. As evidenced by the album's warm, detailed sound, the collaboration is a perfect fit, bringing just enough polish and focus to the Make-Up's music to make it even more powerful. &Black Wire Pt. 1,& &Drop the Needle,& and &The Joy of Sound& show off the group's dynamic, theatrical side, while &Earth Worm,& &Do You Like Gospel Music,& &Time Machine,& and &Caught Up in the Rapture& are atmospheric and soulful, further explorations into the band's widening sonic territory.
