The brand new video for N∆EON TE∆RDROPS’ “AMNESIACS” is premiering now over at White Light//White Heat, including a very nice review. The clip was shot and directed by Carl Critical, with costume design by Amber Maya.
The single “AMNESIACS”/”BROTHERHOOD” is out now on all streaming platforms, and you can also order the limited 7″ vinyl over at our Bandcamp store.
N∆EON TE∆RDROPS’ debut single «AMNESIACS» b/w «BROTHERHOOD» has up until this point only existed in a timeline parallel to our own. Finally available as a 7inch vinyl release with the original catalogue no DISCON001 in 250 copies, and with nu-italo remixes by MENTAL OVERDRIVE included in the digital release through LOVE OD COMMUNICATIONS, it’s time for this darkwave classic to reach a bigger audience.
The single is out September 8th, with the remixes to follow September 22nd.

A message from Per Martinsen/Mental Overdrive: Dear friends and followers. Firstly I would like to apologise for the recent low activity on this page. The reason is that I’ve been busy working on a new project called “Pyramids On The Moon”. The project has been dubbed “a multi-dimensional autobiography”, and consist of stories about my own life as imagined in three alternative timelines. Coincidentally, all these three versions of myself make music, and also quite coincidentally, one of them makes the music of Mental Overdrive. The output of the other two is of a slightly different form and shape, but hopefully you might still find it interesting if you’ve been following my output over the last three decades. If this sounds like it’s worth checking out, you can take a look at the new project’s Bandcamp page. In addition to the music, the story itself will also be posted in episodes of what I’ve called a “sonic novel”. The first episode is already up on the page. There’s more to come, so follow the page if you’d like to get updated. Thanks for your time! (Illustration by Lasse Marhaug)

We’re now entering the last month of our 25th anniversary year, and to round things up we have revamped our website and added a new gallery full of memorabilia from our 25 years as a label, and also included some earlier bits to mark Mental Overdrive’s 30th anniversary as an artist.
In addition we’ve updated our Bandcamp store with back catalogue and some special bundle offers on vinyl and CD’s, so head over there to check out the goods.
We would also like to say thank you for all the love we’ve been receiving on the release of Mental Overdrive’s “Integratron EP” and the “Integration Remixes EP”.
Be sure to check them out in the players below if you haven’t done so already.

WAVE∞FORM is Per Martinsen showing a different musical side than his more established Mental Overdrive alias.
“Waveform01” was initially released on music cassette by Oslo-based label Senja Recordings in 2018, and will be released on all digital platforms through Love OD Communications on October 23rd.
The album will shortly be available on double vinyl, mastered by Helmut Erler@Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin, with a sleeve designed by Lasse Marhaug.
Watch this space for updates.

2020, this strangest of years, marks the 25th anniversary of Love OD Communications. The label was initially set up as an “alternative channel for releasing homegrown Norwegian electronic music” back in 1995, upon releasing founder Per Martinsen AKA Mental Overdrive’s debut album “Plugged”, and has since rather sporadically dropped singles, EP’s and albums by Bjørn Torske’s Krisp project, Illumination, Hex Pistols, Boska, Charlotte Bendiks and more.
To celebrate a quarter of a century in the service of elecronic beats, we will, under the circumstances, not embark on a stadium-rave world-tour, but rather roll out some memorabilia and update our Bandcamp page with hard to find releases on vinyl and CD over the rest of the year. We might even make a T-Shirt.
Follow the tag #LOVEOD25 on Instagram, Twitter and other social media channels and we’ll keep you updated.
Coincidentially, Love OD’s 25th anniversary falls on the same year as Mental Overdrive’s 30th anniversary, but more on that later.
