Project Spotlight #3: What is NueroMud?

In the beginning, there was Mune Mud.

When the music being recorded at the Studio became too diverse, Mune Mud remained the slower, upbeat pop style of music and another project was created: NueroMorgue. It focused on the faster, electronic, heavy metal style of music.

Then along came a new style, one that was more experimental and new age. It used unique sounds and dealt with astronomy, astrology, and various deep, dark subjects. So what could a project be called whose music fell somewhere between NueroMorgue and Mune Mud? NueroMud!

There have only been two NueroMud releases to date, 1994's ...Libra 971 and 1995's Nine Days Wonder. They both had real limited releases, so not many people know of this project. There are plans to eventually re-release both albums on CD, including unreleased bonus tracks, some time in the future.

Who are the players in NueroMud? The same as Mune Mud and NueroMorgue... Jason Watson. There have only been two guest musicians on NueroMud songs. The first was Jimmy who sang vocals with Jason on "Pedestal Song" which appeared on ...Libra 971. This song was also the beginning of their side project ORC. The other guest musician was Darrin on the drum machine at the very end of "Remembered for Living" from ...Libra 971. Darrin happened to drop by the Studio as the song was being finished and he was asked to play drums however he wanted to during the noise at the end of the song.

As for the future of NueroMud, it can best be summed up as "living in the past". There are no plans for new NueroMud songs to be recorded so therefore we will allow this giant to continue its slumber.
