Melancholyman Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Ok, this is not about discussing Infected's music or anything. But I just happened to surf by their site and I saw they have a new layout. What struck me was the INCREDIBLE "mushroom" menus. See for yourself. It's simply awesome. This might be a little offtopic though New Layout edit, btw, they've uploaded a video of a new song i the news section, it sucks.... Quote
Yard Hippie Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I have to agree... It may take an aeon to load and it may be stupidly OTT, but it looks very nice Quote

Ormion Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 “We’re an electronic band,” affirms Amit “Duvdev” Duvedevani, singer and co-founder of the Israel-bred, Los Angeles-based psy-trance duo Infected Mushroom, “but when we became a full live band onstage, the reaction was so powerful that we knew we were inventing something new.” “We’re an electronic band,” affirms Amit “Duvdev” Duvedevani, singer and co-founder of the Israel-bred, Los Angeles-based psy-trance duo Infected Mushroom, “but when we became a full live band onstage, the reaction was so powerful that we knew we were inventing something new.” Quote

His voice is like an arrow piercing my heart. Quote
Redington Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Perhaps it is because he finds it cheesey. 666th post... Quote
abasio Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 A nicely set out site. Exactly what I would expect from IM. High quality even if it isn't to my taste Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Honestly, I do not like it at all. Its too stale. I love the mushrooms, and the idea, but it lacks something... Quote
pr0fane Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Looks nice, but it's extremely slow and not very userfriendly. Quote
Darkarbiter Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Sorry, but does this improve the quality of their music, or the fact they've sold out? I'm allmost glad they have, it could be a good lesson to other artists. Quote
krelmatrix Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm allmost glad they have, it could be a good lesson to other artists. And what's this lesson? Don't you dare sell out or all of your old unwashed dredlocked & geeky fans will hate you and constantly ridicule you on internet message boards (even if you have 100x more new fans, a constant worldwide touring schedule, a mansion in LA, and more money than you know what to do with). Let them serve as an example that selling out just isn't worth it. Awesome website, though. I just have to keep my computer speaker muted to avoid having my ears raped. Quote

About the Infected mushroom site, it would have been cool if it was all in a forest or something, like around the mushrooms, and then navigating through a mushroom field instead (not equal sized Mushrooms). I just had a browse around again, and I really do not like the site. Quote
Melancholyman Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 BA! Yeah in a forest would be nice, just thought it was a nice idea with nice animations... Quote
Malevol3nt Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Holy Fuck! Now I'm definately sure they've got money. That site didn't come cheap. However optimization = fail. 4 minutes to load on 2mbit? That ain't right. Most people will just hit on the "html" version instead. Sweet animations tho. Quote
karan129 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 One new direction in particular – the addition of guitar to their live set – raised eyebrows among the trance-loving elite. But the band refused to sit still. “The most hardcore fans are often resistant to change at first,” Erez informs, “but they always come around.”Food for thought for the "elite"? Quote
frozen dream Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Food for thought for the "elite"?despite the new cheesiness, some new tracks are rather nice, yes. but that might only be since i have a very broad taste (in genres) some people might not easily change, and i really don't blame them. Quote
Otter Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Takes like 4 minutes to load on 24 mb. ...horrible servers. Quote

I have a really broad taste too, but Duvdev must shut the fuck up! You're not a singer, stop pretenting being one. Quote
Penzoline Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 lol those are some high-tech mushrooms xD Takes like 4 minutes to load on 24 mb. ...horrible servers. What? I have 1mb/0.5mb and it loaded really fast for me. Quote
travbrad1001 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 What? I have 1mb/0.5mb and it loaded really fast for me. Well it apparently loads slowly sometimes which would indicate crappy server(s). I have 6mbit/1mbit and it took about 20-30 seconds, not exactly what I would call fast. In fact I don't think I've seen a slower loading site since dial-up days. Those menus are pretty cool though, but it can't make up for their terrible music . From that video it appears they are now an industrial band? Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yesterday I counted a whole full minute of loading time, today it took me 15 seconds. I think its just overloaded. We are not talking about a normal PsyTrance act here, we are talking about an act that has a fanbase bigger than the whole real psytrance movement has (me counted OUT then, in other words!) Quote
