Review:

 

I think everyone knows that these songs were on the SST-compilation "The

Digital Dance Of Shiva"... But before that they were released on this EP...

And Infected made different stuff like usual here... Intelligate is one of

their best songs they've ever made, hard bassline, and many wicked and

distorted melodies and some cool samples... More like this please!! Site B is

not as good... I like some parts of it, but overall it's not as strong as

Intelligate or many of the "The Gathering"-songs!! So 9,5/10 for the first

song, Intelligate, and only 7,5/10 for Small Moves!! Bom Shankar

GOOD MUSICS...

9/10 for Intelligate

8/10 for Small Moves

Infected Quality...good work (as always).

[max]

They are thinking about making a remix for Intelligate..That's a good idea i

think...the original is so insane.

[Guest Mascok]

kick ass tracks, both of them. really like this infected style.

really good. those pumping beats, scratches, heavy and dark basslines, spooky

distorted melodies, and a lot of insanty and scaryness!.

small moves ally, smmAALllllL moo00ves!!..

hehe keep it coming! 9/10

[DeathPosture]

Yeah... This was my first Infected Experience... Intelligate is brilliant and

features the classic Jodie Foster sample from Contact: "This is a unique time

in our history, in the history of any civilization, it's the moment of the

acquisition of technology, that's the moment when contact becomes possible"

... Groovy, energetic track!

Small Moves is not quite as good, but still it has nice qualities... Like the

breaks and the melody... Yeah... Overall score 8.9/10 Bom shankar!

It kicks hard....the first time I heard those tracks, it was at a party in

Ibiza under the lighthouse....rhaaaaa

people would turn insane...8/10

[Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com]

helll yes these are amazing!!! in intellegate after jodie fosters little

speach when it just starts slamming and smashing and sounding like stuff

breaking... dammmnnnnn its pure heaven for me boom boom crash crash great

stuff i love it 9.5/10

[Guest Magic Plant]

Intelligate might have been a quite good song. The sample from the movie

Contact destroyed it all. It's just embarrasing. This is a unique time in our

history.

What time in the history hasn't been unique? And the rest about contact...

well, obviously it isn't possible yet (if there is anyone to contact). And

second of all,

if there would be contact now, it would probably be the aliens contacting us.

No, I can't play this song. Not even when I'm alone. Infected Mushroom should

not make their songs worse with samples from bad movies.

[Guest smg]

I don't really understand why most of the reviewers find Intelligate so great

track. In my opinion small moves is better, not that I wouldn't like

Intelligate, but I just think it sounds so much like infected's other tracks.

Too obvious, would describe it best, I think. Small moves has those samples,

which are horrible, which, on the other hand makes them great. They make me

laugh everytime, they just sound so stupid . And it has some good acid line

in the midst, or whatever you call it . 7/10 for intelligate, and 8/10 for

small moves. Strange, more and more I start to dislike IM nowadays, when

shidapu (erez and jorg), and other sst releases are taking the place. Bom!

[Guest duste[at]duste[dot]org]

i've not heard the songs...

but the name of the group tells it - 10/10 for them both...

[Guest peace, out drag0nfly]

sst rocks you cant do nutin' but love'm all ! i've only heard small

moves once... and intelligate i haven't heard at all.. but small moves rock!

9/10 easy... and i like the gathering album more that the classical, så i

guess i'll like intelligate even more

[Guest AtomicCow]

I like these two tracks more than either of the albums taken as a whole

(especially Classical Mushroom) because it's somewhere in the middle...darker

and harder than Classical but more varying that the first one. Intelligate is

nothing special for the most part, no hard kick or bassline like some people

say. Except for the sample. That little bit at around 2:40 makes the whole

track. It sounds so freaky and with those drums and crashes in the

back....and then that "aaaaaahhh"...that's so unconventional and unexpected.

Small Moves is much better music wise. Very good sounds in parts. That

diesel kind of sound really pleases me. In the end it kinda degenerates into

that classical sort of sound...blah.

[Guest Astyanax]

both are killer trax, but Small Moves is definitely the best one here. maybe

"Twisted Insanity" would have been a better name for this track. Intelligate

is also pretty twisted, but as smg stated its much like standard infected

stuff. but is that a bad thing? NO! it may not be special for IM, but it does

stands out above most other goa trax. 9/10 for Intelligate, 10/10 for Small

Moves!

[Guest Evilben]

Dark Ep from the mushies, but i still feel the infected style in those ones

which are very good... also standard stuffs. 8/10

[Guest id1ot]

Veeery good traks both of em.. but small moves is the best.... but not far from

intelligate

[Guest [Anonymous]]

Small Moves is a great and very catchy track, i like it alot

intelligate is good, but not as Small Moves!!!

 

10/10 small moves

8.5/10 Intelligate

[Guest [Anonymous]]

I think that these two tracks were good, but not near as good as some of their

other work.

[Guest MyEmail[at]IsNotYour[dot]Email]

"Intelligate" is really good , as always with infected ... I liked the

"Contact" sampling .

The distorted shout blew my !mind !! The only thing I can say is SACHTEN !!!!
