How to Operate with a Blown Mind is the debut studio album by Lo Fidelity Allstars, released on Skint Records in 1998. The Hartford Courant wrote that "there's something a little different about the Allstar approach, alternating the boomy, hooky dance tracks with spacy, equally melodic washes of instrumentals, over which are long, Beat poet-like rants." NME named How to Operate with a Blown Mind the 21st best album of 1998. In a rundown of "intelligent big beat", Simon Reynolds called the album an "oxymoronic masterpiece of 'darkside big beat'."
