Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 The Misted Muppet – From The Legend (Trancelucent) 1. The Mist 6’36 2. Machine Forest 7’37 3. Cat Visions 7’30 4. Midnight Tales 6’09 5. Innocense 7’20 6. Toward The Castle 7’24 7. Mercenaries 7’34 8. Might & Magic 6’39 9. From The Legend 7’58 10. Defender of The Past 2’18 Dagan Israeli & Tal Hassidi are The Misted Muppet, From The Legend is their debut album, the style is dedicated to acidic-energic/crazy full on, i would say that if Infected Mushroom has continue their original musical direction today (the one present in their 2 first albums) it could approach a bit the content of the Muppet’s one. In The Mist, you can easily catch the movie soundtrack’s culture of Dagan, as the melody is clearly inspired by famous theme from The exorcist (i don’t say sampled or copied but i mean ‘in this way’). No too long introducing as you you plenty enter The Muppet sound in half second, the tone is given : their strong crazy acid full on style is completed with heroic fantasy-medieval atmospheres as sugested o the cover art. The intro of Machine Forest reminds me to tell you about apart the movie soundtrack culture , you’ll also notice a traditionnal classical music background. Furthermore, sometimes here softly & in some others tracks (5 you see the impact of Tal’s loves for Drum n’ Bass in the rythmic. I don’t know what kind of visions can appear in cat’s head but seems very intense & tormented through what you can listen in Cat Visions. Indeed i suspected someone putting sort of poison in the cat’smilk , but cats got 7 lifes so the animal is just drived crazy,getting counscious of his hard destiny & isn’t dying at all ; result at the counter, 6 lifes remaining for the cat, the cat wins. Midnight Tales contains some nervous electric riffs, at 2’45 a break composed of a church organ melody & woman voice for a full medieval-gothic ambience before rebunding to the extreme-acidic usual Muppet soundscape. Your spirit gets hanted by darkness forces, that’s what happen in Innocence, will you be strong enough to resist to their call ? After a foggy intro, you understand the way to the castle isn’t free , some fightings are needed to reach the place. Riding your horse , holding up your sword, goahead Toward The Castle, you shouldn’t worry ! The castle’s den is more peacefull nevertheless there are always some people you should beware of :Mercenaries. Keep your gold’s purse in a safe place & if needed let’s go for a blade-battle. Might & Magic has a tyîcal medieval sounding intro. It’s time to see this dear old Merlin & drink some of his new potions creations, major transformations, mutations or alterations good or bad are all possible. Take the liquids at your risk & peril, just let’s try & see the result… Merlin still have the knack hopefully ! A screaming siren lead is quite present all along From The Legend, it’s probably the most nervous-excited stuff of the album which don’t obligatory means the best, no time to chill here, you must save your kingdom. You have now reaching your graal, chill time in a mix of medieval & cinematic tones, you can rest in peace with Defender Of The Past.
