I totally agree. It sounds like it took 2 weeks top to make this/these album/albums. A few years back this album would have been great, but these days weird effects/sounds/noises just aren't enough.

Many will no doubt think that this/these album/albums is/are someway extraordinary. Many will no doubt praise it/them. Many will, but I sure as hell am not. This/these album/albums are in my opinion nothing special. Sure Infected guys are guite good at creating weird sounds and catchy melodies. Sure they can create some wonderful peaks and all, but they just can't in my opinion truly capture real emotions. They can't generate true, deep trance. They can't do what some other artist can. This album is ofcourse well mastered and well done, but it's not unique. It's not special, it's guite boring. On CD1 is like 3 tracks, 1, 7 & 9. None of them are special though and don't too much stand out. It's not like I hate any of the others though. On CD2 I do sort of like those 2 tracks with Michelle (5 & 11). I would praise Selecta, but it has so fucking ridiculous ending that it's actually the worst track on CD2. So, all in all, this album is quite standard, sure it's good, but not really good. If you are only going to buy 1 album this year, don't buy this, get something else. I'll give this 7/10

I was thinking about throwing a party in Mars.. Any1 up to it?

there's one a lot older track with that same sample..

damn my review is good =)

gonna copy & paste some nonsense i wrote earlier today.. i don't feel like writing a review of this one. reason being that i really don't think this deserves one. in my opinion this one sounds like it took 2 weeks to make. ofcourse "they" have some fresh ideas and all that, but the album is somehow very monotone, sort of minimal. i'm kinda suprised to see that i don't actually even like the chilled side. i do sort of like those 2 tracks with michelle though. well maybe, just maybe i'll change my mind later on, after all i didn't even like the first shpongle album untill after a few months time. at the moment i'll give it 6/10 it's average, nothing more.. add ons: started at 16:28 np: 'echonomix' I do actually like this one, this might very well be the best track on the trance side.. np: 'scorpion frog' The violins in the beginning are quite nice, very gatherised if you know what I mean, very eeeevil. Then that classic infected pop build up. very classical mushromised. then some weirdo effects, nice pumping softish kick. scraaaatch. nice hill billy touch on the background. this might be good. well for a short while it reminded me of some euro trance euphoria lifting. that was nice! now it's getting weirder. pumping comes back. elevation. uuuh. that oboe, or what ever instrument it is, didn't see that one coming. what about that gms bassline??! total change. total suprise. nice beebs! uuuh. it's actually quite deep. nice drum machine stuff going on. where will it end? what's next? what's the score? growling sounds comin' closer. did I say two weeks for the whole album? I ment 2 months to make this one track. very delicate! bouncing beebs, very acid, are they creating a groove? no, but that something else is? is that sound man made? deeper underground! now I would definetly stomp like a mad man! hands almost doing it. what? you know.. stuff.. I feel like standing up, perhaps dancing a little, perhaps after my coffee. effect comin' closer. getting away? no, getting stronger actually. grooovy. oooh the violin is back! what a come back. it's like elvis. and that bouncing kick! nice! veryyyy nice! and effects! this is fucking wonderful! violins.. don't go away! and kick, please stay. a break? I hope so.. come back! puhlease! not too nice ending, but .. what a track! np: 'semi nice' I've heard this one before. last summer to be exact. or was it some recorded live? don't know, don't care. very drum machine feeling, very repeative, bouncing kick. weird effects. no, I don't really like it. it's too repeative! it's changing, but slowly, we need a break now! and here it comes! what's next? tickling. nothing radical, the drum machine just went away. this is one of those deeper tracks. I guess you have to learn to dig it, it takes time, or maybe it will always sound boring. don't know. weird effects, well i'm feeling quite negative, they aren't cheering me up. even they are crying. it's like.. "yay we made weird sounding loop, lets repeat it again and again!" "now the bass, erez" "duvdev made soft kick with some extremly expensive thingy" it isn't going anywhere. nice effect though. then those beeps. it will end in a minute. that's great, cause I don't really like this one! how many times did I say it? 6? 0? 4? that's what this track isn't.. it's 16:43..gonna smoke a cigarette and make some more coffee.. i'll be right back.. 16:51.. coffee isn't ready yet.. so: np: 'yanko pitch' the beginning is one of those "i come in peace, you leave in pieces" thingies.. starts peacefully, then gets right down to business. did eyal pitch this? the lead synth is nicey. very uplifting. very eyal. very deep not deep deep but deep bassline is doing the work at the moment. right back to drum machine. repeative? yes? does it bother me? no! nice echo effects! they make it sort of more uplifting. then some growling effect synth sound things. break...... growling? yes. evolving? wasn't a few seconds ago, now it definetly is. it's still the same melody, done only other way. effects do more work. am I dancing? no. i'm thinking about my coffee. it's disracting me. groove. space feeling. kick is.. something else. not the bouncy one introduced in the last few tracks. something didn't sound right around.. lets see.. 4:40.. well drum machine is back. housy. this could be astral projection. door opens. then we get... guitar? no? maybe.. then some "showing off".. random nonsense.. sort of.. but there's skill too.. but it's not my taste.. I wish it would end soon.. i'm not in the mood to listen to pitching.. okay.. back to the house... people are tearing saddams statue down on the telly.. does this have something to do with my "review".. yes? sort of.. my opinion presented around 20 minutes ago are being teared down.. this is good, extremly good? no.. but still.. it's quite nicey.. and so went 8 minutes and a few seconds.. time to get coffee.. my throat is so sore.. i hope i don't have sars.. scary huh? np: 'converting vegetarians' ..got some coffee.. lets get back to the freestyle review.. the track is quite random.. growling bassline.. damn i like that word.. it's quite to describe pretty much everything this far.. drum machine has some new wavs.. mostly man made sounds.. like "ah, uh, ooah" and so on.. the that creepy rap.. time of revolution? yes.. atleast in Iraq.. that statue is still standing.. is there a deeper meaning? duvdev isn't too great rapper.. i wish they would have got eminem to do the lyrics.. that would have been so PHAT! some weirdo effects.. drum man machine.. nice.. I guess i actually like it.. it will end quite soon.. u decide if that's good.. one more time.. time of the revolution.. who's in da house? yay, i welcome the next track.. in to the midnight? yes.. growling synth.. it's over.. np: 'elation station' ..that statue is still standing... I hope those people don't get hurt once it falls.. looks dangerous if you ask me.. mean while guitar is coming.. also some nice porn movie synths.. soft core porn movies.. then a bass.. very italian pop.. where's eros ramazotti.. he would suit this track.. if u are feelin' bad while listening to this track imagine what saddam is feelin' at the moment.. that is if he's still alive.. i hope he is.. it's not right to hope that someone dies.. he's just a man too.. no more politics.. the track is quite funky.. very.. jazzy.. saxophone? I knew that funky guitar was coming.. i sensed it.. this track would be great on the back ground when some dude is doing some girl from behind.. doggy style.. keeping his hand on her back.. when there's only that guitar they could zoom on the girls face.. slow motion.. very nice track.. very beautiful.. very soft core porn movie fitting.. people went away from that stutue.. I wonder why.. can't hear the telly cause i'm usin' head phones.. it's over.. np: 'drop out' most have already heard this.. I think that was quite well said.. "this is the closest infected has come to shpongle" ..anyways I'm quite lazy and that sentence describes this track quite well so that's it.. notice.. it's not shpongle sounding or styled.. but it has some of that feeling hidden into it.. a tiny bit.. nothig to be too proud of.. the skygods can't be beaten in their style.. np: 'avratz' what does it mean? i bet it has something to do with peaceful, no? cause the beginning sure is peaceful. trance artists can definetly make chilled pop. add celine dion into this track, make her sing something like "my heart will still go on" put it on titanic 2 sound track.. get tons of money.. I guess no one can really say.. in the entire man kind.. that he hates this track.. cause there simply isn't anything to hate.. it's chill.. it has piano.. it has soft bassline.. right amount of drums.. little effects.. that from time to time get weirder.. or not? the almighty us army still haven't got that statue down.. will they ever? uuh.. nice drums.. jungle, drum n bass type almost.. very gentle.. but still.. this track is quite long.. over 10 minutes to be a lil more exact.. this track could also be found on some soft core porn movie.. to my taste it's a little too soft.. i want my chill disturbed, twisted, weird.. etc.. not beautiful.. then that growly bassline hits me.. total change in the style.. it's like the track knew what I wanted.. gettin' a little dusturbed.. crunhcy so to speak of.. gagagagau.. what ever that is.. uuuh.. nice drums.. but the track keeps on being too loopy.. looped.. what ever the word.. then it gets faster.. 4x4 ..why iisn't this tune in the trance side? i bet this is work of the evil duvdev's mind.. bassline comes back.. 4x4 dissapears.. bleeps.. some beaUtiFul kind of noice brek it all up.. is it guitar? i don't know, i guess it doesn't matter.. wave synths.. it's all there.. dancing with kadafi part 2 ? sort of feels like it.. this track is like 4 tracks pasted into one.. too many ideas put into one concept.. the effects are nice.. gotta grant them that.. loooooaaaauuuuaaaang growls.. gaugaugau.. I bet it will follow soon.. I? did he say that? over? yes.. no... hmm weird.. I was sure that was the end.. nope.. yes.. np: 'blink' don't smoke, don't drink, all i do is think about the life.. cheesy? why? I think her voice is very sexy. and just maybe here's a hidden message. a message only her ex will understand.. don't know.. I guess it doesn't matter does it.. to us anyways.. this track is very emotional, psychedelic so to speak of.. come with me and have some fun.. OKAY! no.. sorry can't.. growly.. distirbed, twised, chilled.. serve it over big speakers or quality headphones.. purrrrfect.. demooeooons.. I love the way she says it.. frighten.. uuuh.. ending vibration.. nasty..! nicey! break through with me? what's yu talkin' about? to the other side? I hope not.. that wouldn't be too nice.. this is what infected is at its best.. let Michelle do the singing.. u concentrate on the psychedlic athmosphere.. (tip tip tip sorry Duvdev.. u aren't such a grwat singer) takes bravery to sing though.. gotta grant u that.. if it makes u feel better i definetly would be any better.. or would I? the sexy finnish accent is a killer! lady killer! amuse myself? sexyyy.. how do u amuse your self? I've got a nice pic in my head at the moment... sorry i'm not s stocker! np: 'shakawkaw' nice beginning.. sort of.. very eastern.. very dreamy.. drum machine.. i've repeated that word quite often eh? well.. there is a reason.. twisted noise.. nice way to drum machine gets stronger.. my english is definetly turning into un understandable? well.. blah.. I keep on going.. writing.. perhaps I will try to communicate using binoms? 010101101010101000101010001010101110000.. that's goodie.. what is says? it says that there is no pattern, no loops.. just innovativity and creativityness.. 2:35.. even Simon P could be proud of that.. I like it.. I'm sure also many others think the same.. very good still at 03:00 ..good meaning perfect.. shakawkaw ..what does it mean? laughing, that's nice.. laughing sounds always nice.. Saddam statue is fucked.. soon it will fall.. break.. I'll be right back.. np: 'pletzturra' saddam is still standing.. i wish they will show it in slow motion.. he's down! people are beating his head with shoes.. how cool is that??!? wow! I hope no1 gets injured.. I guess they really did hate him.. the track by the way begun.. they are dancing on top of him.. I bet they would like this track to be played on the background.. very emotional.. very strong.. both the telly and the track.. revolution! I wonder if they will put a bush statue to saddam's place.. wouldn't be suprised if the yanks would do that.. anyways.. track is very disturbed.. shpongle seeking? yes.. even trying to sample some of those monks.. known from shpongle 1.. the same 1s? no.. but same idea.. no doubt.. vey emotional.. classical building.. there's one thing missing.. that is a tiny sharp fast tingle sound.. which follows later.. but is way too slow and loud.. background is so disturbed.. melody is very eastern.. beautiful.. very fast end.. 4x4 ..hill billy banjo very finnish trance is yu ask me.. finnish insomnia.. texas faggottised.. then some uk trance.. sort loopish thing. .that only lasted a few secs.. very younger brother for that little time though.. np: 'i wish' don't know what to say.. the track gets right down to business... singing fits this one better.. though michelle would so kill duvdev in duo.. some vocode stuff.. not too strong.. could be a little more disturbed.. like in dee doo el es dii em dii.. synth on the background is straight from some Rocky movie.. you know when he's joggin.. eye of the tiger lifting.. go away 80's.. nah.. I like it 80's synth pop.. with duvdev.. this would have definetly hit the charts around the globe in that ugly decade.. and then the song suddenly ends.. it's mixed into ballerium.. np: 'ballerium' most of us have heard the sample, ye? I've heard this track way too many times.. so I just say that it's okay.. but not great.. maybe the weakest link in the "other side" the reggae part is nice though.. very summer.. very lie on the beach type of joy.. oh and btw.. it's not 100% the same that the promo version was.. np: 'selecta' very electric beginning.. static.. straight.. can't descibe.. 4x4.. energic.. trance.. new style.. I like it.. but it could be on the trance side.. then some retro feelin' is mixed in.. yes.. very infected.. very classical mushroomish.. nice.. very layered music.. there's like 10 recocnisable layers.. nice echo effect breaks everything up.. it's weird.. it's strange.. but it's from this world.. then lets get back down to business.. building up.. very... don't know why but it reminds me of bubble bobble.. guitar.. that bassline is definetly the key.. also the guitar.. don't forget it.. then something totally breaks the athmosphere.. didn't like the change.. saloon.. what the hell is the point of this? why turn a good track into joke? weak! very lame! shit! crap.. that sure was the worst ending ever.. np: 'illuminaughty' darkness rusung, calling out my name will it be changed or remain the same i've fallen far from above land in here with such a ? after the nicey vocals we get into the process of building psychadelia.. i've tasted all the fruits and it's opened my eyes.. something like that.. a message to yu know who? the time is now.. this is very disco mushroomish.. if you know what i mean.. no where is safe? i disagree.. dunno what to say.. I really do like her voice... no superlatives needed.. i'm sure also she knows her talent.. and everyone who happens to hear this.. so.. this track is build like... 1 0 2 0 3 0 4 0 0 0 ..0 being the "can't remember the word, repeation? heh.. no.. should I check it from the dictionary.. hold on.. ahh.. burden.. chorus" and so it ends.. np: 'jeenge' i'm starting to be full.. full of music.. but i'll try to go on.. so.. we get a beautiful beginning.. relaxed.. pretty much like all the other tracks on this cd.. suprising effect.. then growly synth.. disturbed.. I don't like it.. it doesn't have a reason to exist.. it's like straight taken from reason (the app).. very.. limited.. okay.. then back to Dancing with kadafi part 3.. nice flute.. or something like that is on the background.. could be a little louder.. a lot louder actually.. now it can barely be heard.. wow the iragies are celebrating.. they seem happy.. i'm happy for that.. and here's some dull bbc expert saying.. they are happy.. is he blind or something.. don't need to be a scientist to figure that out.. anyways.. the track changed.. no more long synth.. but very sharp sounds.. sort of a melody.. i'm getting bored of weirdness.. there should be something extra cool for me to start suddenly digging this track.. it's very formulatic.. keeps on being.. monotonic.. minimal.. not traditional minimal.. but still.. growly.. i'm not impressed.. np: 'elevation' heard this before.. didn't like it the first time.. was imo the weakest track on "another life" ..it's obvious that they can't create classical music.. that is what they are sort of trying to do here.. Mozart would shit on this.. bottomline.. sorry for the inconvinience.. or how ever yu spell it.. this was a freestyle review.. missing some tracks.. so what? what I think about this album now? not much.. hopes were high.. maybe will start loving it.. maybe not.. nice one though.. once I get a change i will no doubt buy it.. ps.. sorry for the crappy english & spelling don't feel like writing grammar english.. takes too much time.. DROP ACID NOT BOMBS!!!!!

i really don't feel like writing a review of this one. reason being that i really don't think this deserves one. in my opinion this one sounds like it took 2 weeks to make. ofcourse they have some fresh ideas and all that, but the album is somehow very monotone, sort of minimal. i'm kinda suprised to see that i don't actually even like the chilled side. i do sort of like those 2 tracks with michelle though. well maybe, just maybe i'll change my mind later on, after all i didn't even like the first shpongle album untill after a few months time. at the moment i'll give it 6/10 it's average, nothing more..

Helsinki, the trance capital of Northern Europe is quite close to St Petersburg... 19th of April X-Dream, 3rd Of May KoxBox, 7th of June Hallucinogen, Prometheus, Younger Brother & Ott those are the top notch international parties.. ofcourse other parties are held weekly/daily

I thought in the original it's taken from the movie "Merlin"

early remix of Divine Moments of Truth?

i bet it does suck if you search smth on ebay every day for months and finally find it and then along comes a brad that posts the link here and suddenly you have to compete with many people to get the item you want.. for the seller this is very good ofcourse.. and if you want the album really bad I guess you will pay what you have to to get it..

u crazy? lot's of terrorism happening in NYC that time..

write good reviews =)

=)

I've only recieved cds..

www.platinum.ac isn't too bad...

Remix can also be good if it takes totally different kind of, yet innovative approach. Check out for example the "Hallucinogen - In dub" album ..now those are quality remixes

I really like the Violet Vision remix. Drop out is also, in my opinion a good track. I wish Infected Mushroom would concetrate more on the freestyle and leave those boring formulas behind..

Gms - The Twisted Remixes Artist: Gms Title: The Twisted Remixes Label: Twisted Date: 2003 Track listing: 01. Hallucinogen : Gamma Goblins (Gms Rmx) 02. Younger Brother : The Finger (Gms Rmx) Review: Listen to "Gamma Goblins" original version, add strong kicks and basslines and remove all the emotions. This is what you get, a dancefloor stomper. Listen to the original version of "the Finger", remove all the innovativity, all the emotions and don't forget the psychedelic athmosphere. After that replace all these with a strong kick and bassline. Also find a cheesy version of the original "finger sample thingy" and replace. Now make both tracks twice as long with "copy & paste" function in your cubase or whatever program. The 12" is ready. In my opinion this is total rape of two fine songs. Gms sure is master of removing all the things that made the tracks great and replacing it all with simple kicks and that same repeative bassline. In my opinion Gms should pay money for Simon and Benji for destroying their fine tracks. I'm not even going to rate this, cause in my opinion this one really sucks.

not meaning that hallucinogen is cheesy.. but if some1 makes music that sounds like his hallucinogen stuff.. these days, it can be called cheese..

I'm quite satisfied with Younger Brother, Shpongle, Possible future Celtic Cross album, and the other combinations.. Lets face it.. Simon as Hallucinogen had that Goa sound, that most people, atleast I find real cheese these days..
