The band's final release on Beggars Banquet and its associate labels, Mayhem to Meditate found the Darkside going through a notable change as Cowan departed, to be replaced by the increasingly assertive (from some points of view to a fault) Roswell. Roswell having played some guitar already on Melomania, it wasn't a complete culture shock, but the fact remains that Roswell's not quite as accomplished. He's good enough, though, and his general brusquer approach has high points, like the sudden feedback burst that leads into his brief solo on the psych/R&B combo "Straightest Shot" which leads off the disc. Two other full originals appear -- "This Time Is Mine," a slower number with a nice lazy strut to the rhythm and appropriately zony guitar leads, and the garage/go-go grooves of "Heart of the Sun." Any suspicions about Pink Floyd connections might be confirmed by a prominent mention about a "dark side" in the lyrics! The second half of the disc includes one number brought over unchanged from Melomania, "Cry for Me," and two dancier remixes of that album's "This Mystic Morning."
