Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom

[Guest ArchNemesis]

That Kang or whatever is seriously fucked up. Monotnic is extremely nice when

played in a club. Just try it. Astral Projection is good, but they have been

in the game for a long time now, and THEY DONT CHANGE AT ALL! Mushroom changes

a lot. Just hear the first album to this one. Incredible. Classical music &

Deep Trance. I never thought it possible. I give 8/10. ( and then a personal

plea to erez & duvdev, come and do a concert in denmark again.

if you've read far down the page... you should already know.. INFECTED MUSHROOM

ARE THE NEW RULERS OF PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE! sorry simon, sorry astral.. there

are new boys in town and they rock harder than you can possibly imagine..

[Guest Diepeveen]

I like both Infected albums, but i preffer this one! Best tracks... All of

them, they are all outstanding... If i have to mention one, it must be "Bust A

Move" What a trip i had to that track! Some of the best made... ever! - 9.99/10

[Guest gambler FEX online]

It seems, these boys have just followed their feelings and made music the way

the like it. Not thinking about surprising people that has listened to so much

trance/psytrance they can forsee every beat in a new song or trying to follow

a certain style.

 

Great stuff, the gathering and classical mushroom is my two most favourite

albums. I search for all the infected mushroom songs, and I like most of them

real good! like baby killer, blues brothers, power of celtics remix, etc.

 

fresh and happy stuff makes me feel good

thank you

The best cd in the psychedelic scene....

Psychebias

[Guest Antic]

I have to agree to some extent with Kang and some other guys! This CD and The

Gathering are overrated! I don't say they're bad or anything like this, but

this music can not be compared to Hallucinogen, Cosmosis, Etnica/Pleiadians

though it's better than AP This IS original and fresh and already made

progress in psy-trance (check out some of tunes from DarkSoho album!) but it's

not THE BEST psy-trance act! They definitely are creative and bold to mix hard

beats and classic music, but that's not enough. Their songs are really simple,

monotonic in style and one can hear that their sound is not quite grown-up

yet! They ruin good tracks putting in it some stupid sample, cheesy melody or

the whole song sounds popish (The Shen, Disco Mushroom, stupid strings at the

end of Nothing Comes Easy are best examples) and the arrangement is somethimes

very poor (Mush Mushi - this could have been so much better!). It's not enough

that mastering is clean, there's many acid sounds and twisting - with todays

equipement anybody (well, almost:) can do this. So, my rating is only 7/10,

but I strongly recommend this CD to anyone - not the best, but still very good!

[Guest Davidtolsn]

too much cheese. the gathering is better. still very good though. 9/10

[Guest phase418[at]hotmail[dot]com]

HIGHLY OVERATED! A minor, yet interesting new sound in psy-trance. An original

for sure, but sometimes there are awful, untasteful samples - and BAD,

cringing sounds. Yes, this is novel and a mind-blowing sound - but I'm just

not in the mood for it often. It reminds me of the Pink Floyd movie "The

Wall". It's brilliant and psychedelic no doubt, but I'm RARELY IN THE MOOD to

digest it.

IM can be flamboyant, chaotic music. Another rough comparison is the

psy-pop-breaks group "Lords of Acid".

Sure, that stuff is mind blowing if you eat L and listen with interest - but

it's also stupid and harsh if you

aren't in the mood. With infected mushroom, I'm usually

not in the mood to go through all the noise and cheese

to get to the nice trance in CAN definately induce.

There are other groups making harmonius, more tasteful,

beautiful, GOA vibe trance. No cheese please!

 

8/10 for original ideas and trance effectiveness

4/10 for asthetics and taste

[Guest Raven in defense of the best psy]

NOT overrated. ORIGINAL. If you have your head up your ass and just can't get

over 'Radio' you won't like this (not that I don't like 'Radio' cause I very

much do). That this does not vary when every single track is completely

different is the most rediculous thing I've heard. Review above - can't tell

you anything about the mood, you might not be in the mood to listen to any cd

and not just IM. But is this tasteless? When people say this is tasteless it

reminds me how a lot of people called Picasso tasteless - original but

tasteless. Cubes are not pictures they said. Fat nudism is not art they said.

How much is a Picasso worth today? Infected Mushroom is a random bunch of

electronic farts they said. I rest my case

[Guest Kuk]

This album is just for listening.. not dancing.... but The gathering its better

[Guest angelfault[at]aol[dot]com]

Incredible! This album bridges innovative chord changes, psychedelic samples,

and chaotic syncopation to make totally unique psy/goa music. Where i live

trance isnt very popular, well psytrance for that matter. Im from the USA

where everyone listens to pop-ish shit like boybands, rap-rock, and house. I

love psychedelic trance, since i bought a blue room compilation 2 years ago.

Well needless to say, i played the gathering and c.m. in my car for some

friends. Everyone loved it, my favorite tracks are probably the shen and

dracul. Dracul is something i could listen to playing dragon warrior 1 on

acid. Its not just beats and samples people, its very complex music. Almost

like debussy or bach, with psych and elec. influence. Im trying to find vinyls

of it around, if anyone is selling any or knows of a really good place to buy

it. I bought the cd's from psyshop.com. Oh another IM thing! I bought the

tsunami goa compilation a month ago, AWESOME. IM is on there in a track called

symphonatic, it kicks it! All of the other songs rock too, track 1 is x-dream

i believe, it rocks too. I have hux flux, and logic bomb too. Email me and

educate me about other artists as good as IM, because ive only found a few.

[Guest smokeBuddha]

10/10. (straight to the point)

[Guest ether057[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Loved how it transformed soothing acustical music into a furiously-phycadelic

synthesized harmony - 057

[Guest [Anonymous]]

i'm sorry but i can't describe something like that!!!

 

p e r f e c t!!!

[Guest Zodiac[at]goatrance[dot]com]

Infected mushroom does it again...they cant fail. I have never heard something

bad from them...but this is anyway a little bit weaker than their first album

"the gathering" I must say...And if you like Infected mushroom, then check out

for Cat on mushroom(Infected mushroom vs. Space Cat)...They are fuckin awesome

together...But I give this cd a 9/10...Dont miss it...

[Guest [Anonymous]]

I loved it! It got me into trance. My friend introduced me to the group, and

I got all of their songs. I have to say this shit is better than anything

I've heard in a long time

[Guest Matt]

That was GREAT!! THX! =)

10/10!!!

[Guest [Anonymous]]

HIGHLY OVERATED!

[Guest flurofrog[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Symphonic, eerie, psychotic, uplifting...this album sets the standard for

psy-trance, nay all electronic music for the new millenium. Classical reminds

me of what Arthur C Clarke once wrote:'an advanced enough technology is

indistinguishable from magic' - this is a work of genius bordering on madness,

that almost defies explanation. I don't like to admit it but I think the

quality of the production, the imaginative melodies, twisted syncopation,

haunting epic sampling, numbing bass lines and orchestral atmosphere leave

Simon Posford's and Raja Ram's Shpongle at second best. When I got this album

I also bought Tandu's Multimoods which by most accounts is a good album - but

after hearing Classical I couldn't listen to it - it sounded sooo

one-dimensional, hollow, unimaginative. This album has beautiful depth but

manages to create songs which are pounding ecstatic dance tracks too. Get it.

It will be seen as an icon of 21st Century psy-trance in years to come.

Excelente

[Guest gukr[at]usa[dot]net]

[Guest adi[at]paris[dot]com]

Psychadelic music that we can't live without...

@:-)

[Guest Vir2alExp]

This album is not as great as the first one. they use to much classic

instruments like piano and violins. in the start i hated it but no im kind of

fond of it. just listen to dracul is that track scary. in the start theres

light and then BOOOM!! Yuore hunted in the woods. Over all. Great CD 8/10

[Guest MDMA]

You must listen to The Muses Rapt- Spiritual Healing. Its the

best songe ever made. It makes u fly with a perfect bassline,layer

,psychedelic sounds...Its better than any drugs but women!

[Guest M[at]zzive]

too cheese, but oh well they're from Israel maybe that would be a reason, I've

been listening all this tracks in partyes over and over for about 1 year now

so I'm tired of this crap, maybe in it's moment was innovative but now this

kind of sound it's not what I expect in a party, I'm dj and I must admit that

I used to like this crap a lot almost 1 or 2 years ago when they released The

Gathering and then this one, but trance has moved into many different

directions and now this sounds too overloaded, I feel like listening

kindergarden songs, too melodic and some tracks, almost all of them, are too

annoying for listening at home or even in a party. This is the same old

fashioned goa with some new experiments nothing really great, it wouldn't be

bad if these guys could get out of Israel and have an idea of how much the

trance scene has been changed around the world ans start producing something

REALLY new and interesting.
