5 out of 5 stars Fantastic album, nothing else like it.......2007-01-21

I'm not a big fan of goa, the reason being that I find much of the music too repetitive. Although infected mushroom do use the same thumping baseline in almost all their songs, I find they get away with it because they layer a very rich variety of rhythms and sounds on top of it. I sincerely recommend this album to people whom like me, are in some way attracted to the genre, but are not regular listeners because they get annoyed by too much repetition in songs. You may also like Juno Reactor

5 out of 5 stars A Must Own Mushroom.......2006-07-11

There is a reason why this is such a sought after album and I have trouble understanding why a few reviewers have panned it. I find it to be a much more evolved album and sound than their previous "The Gathering." That album had it's moments, but doesn't hold a candle to this one musically or in mastering quality. As for it not being in the same leage as other Trance artists releases, I say that is false as well. It is some of the best Trance you can find, on part with any of the best in the genre. It is an intricately woven tapestry of sound that takes you on quite a journey from the opening guitars of Bust A Move to the ending notes of Missed Symphony. It is most certainly not your standard trance fare. And yes, there IS enough "classical" element in the mix to merit the name, though don't expect a remake of "Hooked on Classics."

To summarize, in the psy-trance genre, this is one of the "classic" album and a must own if you are into this music. I've owned it (and most other Infected Mushroom) albums for years now and this is one I never tire of. Great for dancing, great for driving, great for going on a little mind trip. Hop on board, and get infected!

2 out of 5 stars The "over rated" guy is right.......2005-10-15

I don't get it, there is nothing special about the IM project. None of the albums did I think were anything more than redundant psy. Nothing really stands out and nothing is There are some neat sounds but its not really catchy and it pales in comparison to Man with No Name(MWNN), Juno Reactor (old), and Astral Projection (AP). I don't recommend any IM stuff. Get AP or MWNN and you won't miss IM ever.

5 out of 5 stars The best Trance/Goa CD released to date.......2005-09-09

I don't think there's too much disagreement that this is, if not the best then at least one of the top Trance/Goa CD's ever released. I'm sure many Trance/Goa/Gaia aficionados would put this CD in their top 5. Like one of the other reviewer's I put 'Mushi Mushi' as the best track here, just ahead of the Epic Opener 'Bust a Move'. There's just so much going on with both tracks. So many things to listen to that it's hard sometimes to get your head around it. This is the sort of music you need a kick-ass Stereo equipment for so you can appreciate the sonic vibration's that emanate from the disc. There's obviously a good deal of musicianship with these two fellow's. No overly repetitious and simplistic repeats from these guy's. We get messed up loops; constantly changing sped up, slowed down with mixed up, funkified vocal cuts. 'Mushi Mushi' must be the most complicated sounding Trance/Goa track I've ever heard, but you can follow where things are going without it being just a mess of musical madness. I think it's hard to explain what Infected Mushroom sound like to someone who hasn't heard them before. For people who like Trance/Goa then you already know but for the novice this band & most particularly this album are the best place to start and up till now....to end! Grab a copy

5 out of 5 stars You Must Own This Album!.......2005-08-03

This album is strong in the innovation department, and may appeal to a wider audience than their last album The Gathering. Each track has something special to offer, and no track here is bad at all. Many different instruments are used to further the Infected Mushroom sound. Very nice touch with guitar and piano on track 1: Bust a Move. This is probably the song on this album that will appeal most to the music fans out there that like standard grade A trance but are looking for something new. Well-balanced super sweet stuff. Powerful heavy guitar action on track 2: None of this is Real melded with a light-hearted xylophone. Who woudda thought? Infected Mushroom makes it work though. Major increase in funk factor on track 3: Sailing in the Sea of Mushroom. Track 4: The Shen keeps it going strong. Next up, track 5: Disco Mushroom. I guess I could do without the "aahh aahh aahh aahh" vocals (dare I say cheese?), but they are short lived and do not degrade the album excessively. The moodiness continues with track 6: Dracul. Why do I get the feeling that the artists are trying to scare us sometimes? Their last album had its spooky moments too. Combined with this album it is evident that Amit and Erez are truly master purveyors of the Halloween-like feel. But do not pass this album up because you scare easy. Suck it up and enjoy the jewel of an album that Infected Mushroom has created for us this time around. Tracks 7 and 8 continue the great track trend, and the last track The Missed Symphony is a fine closing to a fine album. I give this album two thumbs up and a major Al Pacino style "Whoo-ah". Nice work, men. Five stars.
