Lost My Brain! (Once Again)
Encyclopedia
Lost My Brain! is the first of two solo albums from Mike "Cyco Miko" Muir
– lead singer of Suicidal Tendencies
and Infectious Grooves
. It was released in January, 1996 on the Epic Records
label. 2001 saw the release of a follow-up album, Schizophrenic Born Again Problem Child.
Musically, it is more akin to the hardcore punk
of Suicidal Tendencies
albums to come – namely Freedumb
in 1999 – rather than of old, and certainly unlike the funk metal of Infectious Grooves
, in spite of the fact that many of the musicians performed for both bands. The title track later appeared, with changed lyrics, under the name "Big Fat Baby" on the Suicidal Records compilation, Friends & Family, Vol. 1
in 1997.
