Anoebis Posted August 20, 2000 Author Share Posted August 20, 2000 Infected Mushroom - Intelligate / Small Moves Artist: Infected Mushroom Title: Intelligate / Small Moves Label: Shiva Space Technology Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 07'20" Intelligate 02. 07'13" Small Moves 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!!

Guest Mascok Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPosture Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 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!

Guest Magic Plant Posted September 4, 2000 Share Posted September 4, 2000 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smg Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 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 AtomicCow Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 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 Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evilben Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Dark Ep from the mushies, but i still feel the infected style in those ones which are very good... also standard stuffs. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
