Artist: The Boogiemonsters
Song: Recognize Thresholds of Negative Stress
Label/Release Date: EMI Music/Pendulum Records, 1994

“In ’94 it’s all about the music, here it comes spiritually, now you can use it.” Released in 1994 from the Pendulum Records camp, “Recognized Thresholds of Negative Stress” is the headliner from Boogiemonsters’ 12” Recognized Thresholds of Negative Stress. And with its synthesizer heavy beat and conscious lyrics, Thresholds created a sort of existential listening experience within me when I first heard it! The four man group was comprised of native New Yorkers Vex and Mondo who met up with Jamaica-born Ivor and Sean at Virginia State University.

Have a good day everyone, and, “Save that achy-breaky stuff for Billy Cyrus!”
