The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness (often abbreviated as
The Psycho-Social CD) is the debut album of
underground hip hop group
Jedi Mind Tricks. The group consists of Vinnie Paz, and producer
Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. The original version of the album was released in 1997 limited to 1000 copies on vinyl by Superegular Records, and was re-released on CD in 2003 on
Babygrande Records with six bonus tracks, featuring songs recorded by the group before their debut release. Many believed the vinyl version was re-issued in 2001, possibly because the back of the vinyl release says "2001 superegular", this is however a nod to the forward-thinking aspects of the album. The album lightly touches on religious corruption and violence, but not nearly to the level of their more well-received, and better produced sophomore effort (most of the
braggadocio being in regard to lyrical skill, and not physical threats.) Primarily the album focuses on references to
astronomy,
history and
physics.
