The 80s Ohio band Dimentia 13 (named after an early movie by Francis Ford Coppola) fused together garage, psychedelic rock, and acoustic folk, issuing a total of six albums during their six-year-long recording career. Influenced by such artists as the Soft Boys, Kevin Ayers, Syd Barrett, Soft Machine, and the Electric Prunes, the band was secretive about their identities. They issued such albums as 1985s self-titled debut, 1987s Mirror Mind, 1989s Disturb the Air, 1990s T.V. Screen Head, and 1991s Flat Earth Society on the independent New York label Midnight.
