Non Compos Mentis(N.C.M.) - Ultimate Orgasm 7″
February 17th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
As far as I’m concerned few guitarist have used feedback in such a creative way in punk as David Hill of Texas Non Compos Mentis. I have a hard time choosing a fave here. While Ultimate Orgasm just hits you in the face as the obvious hit Twist The Blades tasteful contrast between the calm verse and the catchy chorus is just as hard to resist.
Their second single is not as good as this but not as bad as it’s reputation and deserves a post later on. If we’re talking THE best song by N.C.M. nothing beats the furious Six Feet Under included on the Sacred Cattle compilation. Check it out and listen to the instant drive of the bass drum! Who needs double bass drums ha ha.

This 7″ is an american classic, one of the favorites that I’ve managed to add to my collection

Definitely one of the bright spots of anything to come out of the Dallas punk scene (along with Bobby Soxx and Stickmen with Rayguns). What I like about this song is that if you listen to the lyrics they’re not really about what you might think they are, and are in fact about something much darker. (Suicide.)
Or that’s my take, in any event. Clever stuff.

At first glance, I had your guys mixed up with these guys:

But, the date was the biggest clue, not to mention the metallers I was thinking of dropped ‘Mentis’ from there name after their first release.

“Their second single is not as good as this but not as bad as it’s reputation and deserves a post later on.” - Funny, fact is, there is a post of yours in this blog with that! Btw there is a link there to Eric from SILT, who had a NCM post with this very single and a coupla comp tracks (the downloads there in SILT are still active, or at least they were last week).

Just for the record: “Ultimate Orgasm” appeared already in one of those “Back to Front” CDs, if I remember correctly published by Incognito Records.
