What’s on Your Mind (Pure Energy) is a synth-pop and acid house track by American band Information Society, released on April 26, 1988, as the lead single from their self-titled debut album. The song features samples from the “Star Trek” series, including Leonard Nimoy’s voice as Mr. Spock saying “pure energy.” It became a major hit, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and spending 25 weeks on the chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Mark Pellington, showcases the band performing in a minimalist, white studio adorned with simple colored images, reflecting the song’s futuristic and electronic aesthetic.
