Buy Travel Mind Syndrome - Donna [Single] From Amazon.com

‘Donna’ is a proper chill out tune. Its not too ‘in your face’, so you could find yourself drifting off after a few listens. I’m not saying that it’s boring, although the singers voice does lack that little bit of oomph, but it does add to the ‘chill factor’ Travel Mind Syndrome have going on. It’s the type of song I can imagine hearing on Radio One. There’s a catchy little synth line in the song that gives it that drive. Chill out with drive? Can’t say I’ve heard of that before.

The B-side track, ‘Emergency Exit’, has the female backing vocalist on the last track singing lead vocals on it. A nice alternation between singers. Unusual to see a man and a woman exchange vocals, only a handful of bands do that. The intro to this song is funky as fudge, the piano is so bouncy and fun sounding. It’s so simple, but really effective.

Travel Mind Syndrome has done a good job with this single. I can’t say if the A-side is better than the B-side or vice versa. They‘re both on par with each other. I would also be unable to compare them with any other band. They’re completely unique! And at the same time they have that commercial sound which you would hear on Radio One.
