Guest Smg Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 Infected Mushroom - Symphonatic Artist: Infected Mushroom Title: Symphonatic Label: BNE Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'42" Symphonatic Review: I would say this sounds like their newer album "Classical Mushroom", though there are those similar and unique sound structures that are present on their first album as well. Infected has their unique style, and that is good for that part. Whether you like it or not, it's totally another story. As a matter of fact, I don't like Infected that much anymore if this going to be their style. This is high quality work and probly works for some people, but just doesn't for me. In spite of the section which starts from a bit after first minute (and lasts for 30 secs), I don't find this track very entertaining. Intelligate EP still maintained this good and a bit fearsome and screeching style, which I can't say of this. Anyways, 7/10 is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kali Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 One of Infected's finest. A dark, energetic, cosmic work of art!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Astyanax Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 Without any doubt one of my favourite infected tracks!! many strong melodies, but no cheese here! Indead very energetic and cosmic. it's in Classical Mushroom style which i like most and i give it 9.5/10!!! it would have been ten if these guys had put a little bit more cohesion between those great melodies...

Insejn Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 Extraordinary track from the Mushies. The melodies are here, and ofcourse those twisted sounds that jumps up and down. It would have been much better if the different melodies been melted together, it's to obvious when a new melodie comes in. However, the melodies are great just like the whole track. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatsu Posted March 11, 2001 Share Posted March 11, 2001 Absolutely my favourite song at the moment. I also love the other Infected titles but this one is topping everything. First heard it at a party and then bought the record. Great trancy melody with the same sound effects like Yahel's to the people. Real party music.

Guest Evilben Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Energic song from Infected mushroom, who made here another quite dark track, also released on the Tsunami compilation. In the tradition of Small Moves/Intelligate Ep. 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 In my opinion this is infected mushroom's best song, 10/10. My fav song atm. Other favorites are Unbalanced, Messenger, Dancing with Kadafi and Into the Matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest djcpr[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Definately one of my favorite tracks right now and funny enough it was the first time I heard Infected Mushroom when I bought the Tsunami comp. I bought the comp. because of other bands I had heard of, but that track stood out as the best one and I was really glad to find it on vinyl, and with Yahel's Reality on the flip side makes this a very sweet 12". I recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest niels_knigge[at]ofir[dot]dk Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Oh my god!!! I first time heard this at a friends place (he own Tsunami) and found it quite good. Then i downloaded it ( I don not buy EPs, i spend all my moneys on albums and compils), and I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!!! The start is cool (you know it is Infected right from the start) And i like the sample, short and weird "The man with the bass just walked in, and he's putting it down, on the floor". Then at 1:10 a voice appears, singing, sounds cool. Then they play the (around 2:00) melody he sings, in the classic infected way... At 3:00 it all goes crazy... and stays it! Sure a 10/10......

Psychosis Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 This is my favorite Infected Track. It was actually the first song I had heard by them. Amazon.com had a free download of it so I figured "what the hell" and I stumbled upon one of the best electronic songs. The energy in this song is amazing and the mood of it can literally put you into a trance. I think the highlights of the song for me are the kick ass melodies. Here are the times which the 3 main ones begin...the first enters at 1:50, the next enters at 2:56, and the climactic one enters at 5:15...all I can say is that this song deserves to be on one of Infected's full length LP's. You never know, it may show up by surprise on "Converting Vegetarians"...I can always dream right? Seriously though if you want a great starting point for the Infected Mushroom style of Psy-Trance listen to this symphony of electronic sound, you will not regret it. Final Verdict: 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkarbiter Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 One of infected mushrooms greatest. One of the reasons why this song is so great is simply because it is instantly appealing yet deep and sounds great later in the song as well. While stuff like Psycho takes ages to build up and is very deep... this is as I said instantly appealing while also good later in the song and has replay value. This contains the good side of B.P. Empire and the good side of classical mushroom (can't really fault B.P. Empire style though) while being more jazzy then anything on either. TBH this sounds more B.P. Empire then anything... but it is far more uplifting and in general "fun" then anything on there. The singing is amazing too(regardless of talent.. it just blends in with the song so well and puts you in a state of trance). Cheese certainly isn't the right word to describe this song... it sounds cheesy but it just works. It's over the top but that's not too much because it just works! A must hear for infected mushroom fans. Especially since a lot of people don't know of this tracks existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyLight Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 A classic indeed, the leads in this one are so nice. Very cool FX work with the dry reverb. I find this track to be much more euphoric, when compared to the Classical Mushroom track. Which was a very dark and gothic number. And also to the rest of the tracks on the second album. This track sounds less gothic somehow, but maintains some touches of it.(mainly in the somber tonalities in the first half). The gothic aspects can be found in Duvdev’s humming as well. Since it sounds like like he’s singing/humming in a diminished scale. Instead of using a choir pad. Overall this track is a bit more light-weight layerwise compared to the tracks on the Classical Mushroom album. Which further adds to the airy/euphoric feel, besides the melodic/chord progression. The melancholic vibe of the first half, provides a good constrast to the hyper euphoric ending. Very good acidic drive in the leads. And there is a dynamic verse/chorus like structure in place. Which makes the track memorable and quite catchy. Some of the leads are reminiscent to those in the I-Zen solo track Voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
