[Guest guero]

weird, but a lot of people says this album sucks? i don't know how many times

i've listened to it, but for sure is i always find something new in it. as

usual, the infected is at the newest grooves that make people go nuts. from

the beginning it shows a lot of power. nevereverland is great, unbalanced

great too, spaniard awesome, bp empire blows you away, funchameleon blows you

even farther, then comes tasty mushroom. oh my god, ths psychesalsa apears

unexpectedly, very happy moves on the song and then tuns aggresive as hell, my

favorite. noise maker is very good for getting tranced in the morning. PGM is

the other great one, if you are in a party that just doesn't kick off, play

this song and it will make people move right away. kadafi is a great sort off

ambient psyche song, really melodic and peaceful.

awesome cd 10/10. after listening this, now you're ready for listening "the

mystery of the 13 crystal skulls" from tipworld.

[Guest Glaeken]

I think that B.P. EMPIRE is the best IM's album... of course many people

disagree with me. The Gathering album was boring, Classical Mushroom too

experimental and that album is just perfect. My opinion is that IM should make

this kind of music instead of previous album's. Best track's : 2,3,7,9 Rate:

9,4/10 !!!

[Guest kadafi]

I like this album a lot, very special and original with the most extraordinary

samples in everywhere. But the 2 best ones on this release are definately

tracks 4 and 9 = BPM-pire is such a stomper!!! that kick is awsome, the

constructions are awsome, to good to be true this is!!! one of my favorite

tracks all time!!! and of course Dancing with Kadafi ) thé best

experimental/emotional/psychedelicious song I ever heard!!! 20/10, you just

have to hear it to know... The rest of the album is very good to imo, each

trach has it's interesting parts... now buy this! you won't regret it! 9/10

[Guest MushyMushAlien]

I've heard IM first time in a party... Today i don't have no words to describe

it. Just like all the IM tracks, they are simple the ones that gives you what

the others don't give: An Unical Experience. So, to make experience, you have

to try diferent things. This is what this album gives u. Something Diferent.

INFECTED RULEZZZZZZ!!!

I know that infected mushroom is one of the best trance group in the world, but

4 me it's quite good.I don't like their style. every track is a masterpiece ,

but when you hear songs by songs, you may think taht every track is almost

the same

[Guest [Anonymous]]

OH MY GOD...I cant believe that.. this music is perfect.. i try to understand

what infected mushroom had in mind when thiese songs were in progresss....

[Guest James]

infected mushroom is by miles the most superior trance group in the history of

this style of music. they are somehow able to combine sick melodies and

harmonies with hard hitting beats and twisted psychadelic sounds and voice

dubs to absolute perfection. i am yet to hear another trance act with half the

talent they have. they are the most amazing musicians ever.

[Guest eLviS_is_DreaD]

this a excelente album ! 10/10 ! this is mutch better tahn the other 2 albuns!

"Dancing with kadafi" is one of the best tracks ive ever heard!!

psy_psyco2000: this is NOT amateur trance!.. gezz.. just listen to Dancing

with kadafi! talking about detail han?! but what the hell.. everyone is free

to write a opinion.. PLUR

[Guest Xenda]

I love Infected Mushroom and I hate to go against the grain but for me this

album burned intensely bright when I first started listening to it but then

almost completely extinguished after a couple of months. The first track was

so bouncy and fun and the whole album was just one sweet party album until

winding down ( somewhat) with the complex and lovely "Dancing with Kadafi".

However Classical shits all over this album in the long term. A lot of effort

went into this and Infected are really talented but this just didn't stand the

test of time. Not nearly as groundbreaking as Classical and its very

overproduced. There are a couple of slighly deeper slower tracks and they

aren't too bad and "Dancing with Kadafi" is one of my all time favourite

tracks, however I found this release ( dare I say it) ultimately very

dissapointing. 6.5/10

[Guest crazyshirt22[at]yahoo[dot]com]

I played Dancing With Kadafi at my wife's funeral.

 

It is a beautiful piece of music.

[Guest sudesh_a[at]yahoo[dot]com]

This album really kicks!!! you may not like it in the beginning.... but this

album GROWS on you. Play it LOUD and close your eyes.BOOM SHANKAR!!!!!

[Guest MG]

I think this IMO the best IM album thus far. The production, the unique sounds

and textures supersede all previous albums, and I feel is a more diverse album

(Dancing with Kadafi illustrates my point). Disregard all negative comments

and judge it for yourself, I have heard it a few times and have a soft spot

for the whole album. It really is an album

[Guest MindMelt]

this is their worst album of the three that they have released.

Mainly because we all got used to their "full-on" base line ( ex: Mush Mushi

from classical mushroom at around 4:00 min.), but in this release almost every

track starts out with a really bad, chopped up, baseline , and only in like

the last 2 minutes of every track it goes full on. Some say that is the

"mature" sound of new psychedelic trance, but i say its just crappy soft

psychedelic. Dont get me wrong , this is a good album to have ( i have all

their albums, singles, and unreleased old stuff). All I'm saying is that this

one could be a whole lot better. Look out for their next release out around

january 2003, 2 CDs 1 is very progressive, full on psytrance, 2nd is ambient /

chill out, we'll c what the crazy israeliens will come up next !!!!!!!!!

[Guest Blue Penguin]

maybe not as good as the 2 others album, but the sound is nice. Dancing with

Kadafi is weird, i mean the 1st part of the song is great, then it is almost

funny... :-) otherwise, my favourite may be Never Ever Land

[Frontier Psychiatrist]

 

1 Never Ever Land

2 Unbalanced (Baby Killer Remix)

3 Spaniard

4 B.P. Empire

5 Funchameleon

6 Tasty Mushroom

7 Noise Maker

8 P.G.M

9 Dancing With Kadafi

 

A classic here, although a bit overlooked in my opinion.

When one thinks about IM's golden era the 2 first albums usually pop in the head, but this one is a really worthy effort as well. This album was released several moments before Duvdev discovered the microphone and it's their last truely genius album.

The album kicks with 3 complex and twisted tunes with the typical Infected progression. At some moments it reminds me with the complexity Simon Posford's Lone Deranger album.

The intensity level raises track by track and it explodes with the 4th track that might sound very simple and straightforward from the first listen but the impression is wrong. I also advise to check the slower remix of that tune on the BP Empire EP that was released earlier. The pressure releaved afterwards with more airy tunes. Very untypical Infected tunes with more emphasize on pads and the atmosphere. The album ends with one of the best IM tunes and perhaps the tune that lead to the other side of IM in their follow up Converting Vegetarians album. Dancing With Kadafi is clean, ever changing, happy, sad and brilliant for most part track that lasts very short 10 and a half minutes.

Essential!

9/10

[traveller]

This is their best album by far..

Agreed. Ive always said i prefer it to any other IM album. Including Classical Mushroom. I actually listened to it this weekend a bit. Awesome. They never did anything that repeated that dark, moody, sppoky feel to it. I love this album and have ever since i 1st heard it.

[Manuser]

I particularly like Never ever land for its hard snares and basslines contrasted with a nice and optimistic atmosphere.

In Dancing with Kadafi you can hear all their talent, even though during the last minutes they loose the control of the track changing the direction variating emotions too much.

[traveller]

Thou they should have included roll us a giant on this album

 

Got Any Magic Mushrooms?'

'No, but I've got some dwarf mush, it's gonna really blow your head off. Look at this, last time I took it, I saw fairies for three days!'

'Haha! Nicey nice! Roll us a Giant!!

 

about the finest moment of israeli psychedelic trance

[fluffymushi]

best psy album ever imo. the subtle details.. layer upon layer..the climax's(!).. the flow.. brilliant stuff. this album is a trip in itself i declare. this aint music anymore. its something else..

or maybe thats just coz i tripped so much to it.. héhéh.

 

Thou they should have included roll us a giant on this album

they shouldve invented the 90min cd just for this purpose i say!

but i cant complain really. roll us a giant pulls the level of the single (almost) to that of the fullblown album. :]
