Infected Mushroom Feat. Jonathan Davis - Smashing the Opponent (HOM-MEGA Productions) 2009 (HMCDS13) 1. Smashing The Opponent (Album Mix) 4:30 2. Smashing The Opponent (Timo Maas Mutant Dub Mix) 8:35 3. Smashing The Opponent (Adam White Perfecto Remix) 9:41 4. Smashing The Opponent (XI Remix) 6:53 5. Smashing The Opponent (Robert Vadney's Vicious Remix) 6:47 6. Smashing The Opponent (J.Viewz Remix) 4:44 They have released their Legend of the Black Shawarma album, this is the Single with remixes of their hope to reach those extra thousands of people ready to become infected by the Mushroom flue: 1. Infected Mushrooms (Album Mix) latest single is taking its viciously controversial toll by challenging the mainstream/commercial market with hooking melodies, attentive details in production, hungry vocals and a beat which might manifest a new generation of curious clubbers looking for something different, maybe something weird in a playful shroom-sense. Jonathan Davis (KoRn) is hosting the main vocals on Smashing the Opponent and if you’re one of those who like his suffering voice you'll find the tracks lyrical theme to become sort of addictive with touches of personal truth, agony and openness, no matter how awkward it might be for some listeners. Smashing the Opponent works as a fusion as it delightfully and annoyingly combines rock, electronic and, well, dare I say; ‘Psytrance’ elements. If you can stand this pop-tart, I think you will find yourself enjoying its offering more then you’re willing to admit. I know after multiple rounds in the CD-Player, I have gotten myself a new earworm and I don’t mind it crawling around in my head for a while. Together with Shpongle I see Infected Mushroom as being one of two main acts in the wide world of commerpsylizing who are acting as important door openers with fusion of psychedelic institutions to infiltrate and aspire new lofty headspaces of potential psychonauts across the globe to discover parts of them self and the kosmos which they never knew actually existed. So watch out, the infection is spreading faster than the flue. **** 2. Timo Maas (Mutant Dub Mix) is well known by most inside the electronic club scene. This is one extremely thumping track which walks in a electro bubble with scattering bits of Jonathans voice here and there. The beat is deep’n clubby with a highness to the flow which manages to keep the legs moving and head swaying while grooving the pants, and the attention to details and bass is enjoyable so make sure you play this one on a system with base. For those interested in its style, it's a relaxed piece and creates an Old-skool’ish groove hard to miss out on. *** 3. Adam White (Perfecto Remix) is a guy who gives us another old-skool mix and it manages to draw me right back to the über supportive and uplifting trance anthems of the late 90’s. White’s track is interesting in some aspects and becomes worn-out and ripped off in other views. What I like is the counter the classic Eurotrance-leads offer to the suffering and crying lyrics of Smashing the Opponent. It feels as if White comes in to lift and support the sad feelings of the title track which is a brotherly and an almost tear dripping attempt if you ask me. If you where to strip away the vocals you would be left with a very typical trance track from the uplifting EuroTrance days, which in this case feels like an enjoyable copy of an imitation - I know I’ve heard this melody many many times before so I’m unsure if it's a total rip-off of some other well known melody used in that genre a million times before or if it just sounds really familiar? I like the acid touches floating around, and Ok, so it has the old cheesetrance x2c-vibe, but it does manage to mix in futuristic and beautiful bubbly details of the more tripped out space and together with the whole romantic idea of the tracks melody and power, this piece survives and becomes a swell tune for the euphoric and hopeful ones with soul. **** 4. XI (FullOn Remix) is well known name for people liking more powerful, mature and groovy trance music. This remix of Smashing the Opponent gives us some standardized Full-On PsyTrance which can become extremely boring and predictable for those wishing to reach higher and more exiting grounds, and this is where XI’s power plays a part for the better. I really like the surprising feel of the first high pitch lift of the vocal sample where XI puts the whole theme up on a shelf only to groove out a bit with a shrugging smile like we need to party and not become drawn inside the sorrow and emotional chaos which is human nature. I like the difference of Euro-Trance (Perfecto Remix) and Isra-Trance (XI Remix) which this single offers, it’s very funny and interesting to hear the Adam White remix before XI’s contribution because White’s contribution is extremely up-lifting, hopeful and euphoric in the main melody theme while the XI remix is funky, groovy, powerful and serious in its full-on realm and promotes pleasure of almost forgetting the hurtful world surrounding us asking everyone to take it like a ,,man” and party like an animal. Unfortunately my enthusiasm ends there and it becomes generically boring only offering a glimpse of what today’s mainstream PsyTrance might offer new listeners of electronic 4/4 dance music. Top points for the introduction vibe of the remix, too bad it falls short and becomes a snooze after it has stabilized itself in the first round of pumping the blood around your dancing body. *** 5. Robert Vadney (Vicious Remix) presents the roughest mix on this single where industrial elements rock the track into new grounds and pushes it onto mechanical and computerized worlds of yawn. It feels pleasing as a short snippet but when the track keeps on going and grinding it feels repeating and not saved by its computer rock elements which bleep in annoying maneuvers trying to be more interesting than it actually is. After playing this single in repeat for days I have found myself skipping one tune almost every time.. So Ok, it has an interesting almost head-banging walk representing its effort to combine Metal and Data. As an emotional side-drawn piece of the title track I guess it sort of has its value and it shouldn’t be ignored. However, it doesn’t hide the fact that this is not good in its whole unless you really like it ruff and simple with some sounds crunched by stinging bleeps and blips without much variation. ** 6. The final mix by J.Views (TripLounge Remix), best known as half of Violet Vision, is maybe the best remix contributor of the lot and defiantly the most exiting one for me because of its alternative heart influenced by some great music from the days of soul and jazz. It has a lovely experimental vibe to it and the way J.Views has chosen to include elements and his own creativity in inspiration really shines a smile as it’s funny, quirky and well balanced in its poetic way of humming an alternative tune which suits perfect to the title tracks suffering agony - Beautiful. ***** Favorite Tracks: 1(!), 2, 3(!), 4, 6(!!)

Hellooo good people around the glObe! (Hei alle sammen!) :-) :-) Headz-Up: Are you traveling Scandinavia this c-cold winter for some peculiar reason? Or to be more exact, will you be in Oslo, Norway on the 11th of December? If so I wish to invite you 2 join us for a good night ‘out glunking with fellow psychedelic and other sorts of music lovers. There will be more than a couple of exiting people playing Psy and GOA-trance + other electronic music styles scattered throughout the day and night, so it should become an interesting experience for sure =). Location will be @ Oslo Centrum very close to the main train station (OsloS) and the beer + booze will be sold in a price range affordable by everyone! Water is of course free and other non-alcoholic beverages will be sold for those who wish not to get drunk %> *Jeg håper dere vil komme og gjøre dette til en minneverdig aften for oss alle sammen! More information about the Line-Up and hopefully a nice flyer will follow later ..

What music are you listening to right now?
psytones replied to Sputum Rotgut's topic in General Psytrance
aKLUM: Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland tRACK: Shpongle - Shpongolese Spoken Here Hey Redington. Didn't you used to be Located in Shpongleland at some pienews stage? e. since stoned writing takes some time the track gentlly crossed over to the amazment room of Nothing Is Something Worth Doing. <- reminds me of a Boards of Canada track from Campfire what a nice album!! :shponglemask: -
IMO you guys are stoopid watching these preview trailers. It fucks up the surpirse effect of a movie. Especially when they have the need to explain the fucking plot in the trailer. It's dangres watching these things .. Same with reading behind the cover of a film. these things are best totally unseen and unknown. also exited about the new sci-fi wave coming around :clapping:

^thanks Snapinho, U R 2 L8 Question: Where did the Shpongle guys take their 'Room 23' trackname from? *Matti - Jeg vet ikke hvor det kommer fra men jeg ble skikkelig nyskjerrig etter at du viste meg det rommet.

ah that was U huuuu--.....How many Vaders are there here? Three I think..... I agree on your complaints because before I was leaded by some Omananadas to the Juno stage I wasn't so happy with the sound quality around (music everywhere overlapped/bled into other rooms and lacked identity at times(?)). The Juno set/stage was total awesomeness though!! I loved your Vader costume, man. It was one of the phattest I've seen, very authentc indeed. My sister drunk as much alchohol as I did which wasnt so wise of her, as soon as she got a trong joint in her hand she crashed and decided to leave, so it was a shame we didnt find the chill stagem which would have saved her night. piis & løv from Norwege Ps. I asked if you by the wardrobe at Shpongle (a dood in Vader costume) was the guy from psynews whilepointing a finger at your face, you said No!! Why, where you emberessed to admit our geeky connection ? Ps. sorry for the finger, but dont look at the finger or you'll miss the heavently glory hrhr .. hr nice to seeyouir face at the last dance there psagain, how was the AA meeting?

very intelligent stuff when you manage to catch the larger sound/melody picture of the VA. It has some strange magic almost new to me. Im not sure yet but it seems like their technique they used to create a 'wow didnt know it could do that' effect is different then normal .. maybe im talking strange now but this album is strange +1 on the Forest Frequencies, its a good one! also I would watch out for: .. ???? aj I cant remmeber the name of the Record Label name, and its a good one too. Something meaning that dance is mediatation. From Macadonia. Gonna come back and edit this when I remember the name with a myspace page. : e. http://www.myspace.com/424177298

Awesome is the word (oohh the stars man, the stars where oohh) Also the after after party with Flying Rhino seemed to become a good one as they warmed up and dressed the roof with deco - To bad all of my energy was gone and sosializing/talking with people was beyond reach, so I decided to leave before it actuallykicked off. Guess the people still high on energy had a blast though Hey trunksan, I pointed and talked to a couple of Darth Vaders, non seemed to be you though .. ? How many of you guys where there? I was surprised and happy that I didnt see any other people dressed as Link ^^ The day after I realized I had been standing beside Martin Freeland and exchange a couple of generic words .. heh ZzzZzzz.. *smoke* Been up since yesterday, need to sleep but think I'll føkk up my whole day rythm if I sleep now, but cant hold my eyes open anymore. Ryanair is cheap but sucks. On the flight home this morning a lady had a eplepsi attack so the plane had to turn back and land. Hevaluff, sorry our paths didnt meet, I was really looking forward of seing and hugging you Mattman, good guy!! Hoping to drink a lager with you on the pubbo Listening to the Shpongle CD now, its very beautiful and in the ame spirit as their previous two releases sleep Oh one more thing. The Juno Reactor DJ old-skool set was something like WOOOOOWOWOWOWOOOOOOOOOOOOWW!!!!!! Your gonna have a wonderful trip
