i had an all Infected day yesterday...heard all their albums in one day
The Gathering (1999)
Classical Mushroom (2000)
B.P. Empire (2001)
Converting Vegetarians (2003)
IM the Supervisor (2004)
Vicious Delicious (2007).
and a few tracks by Shiva Shidapu
it was an amazing journey. it started with the childish curiosity so to speak. i know in my last thread i blasted them for their work with Matisyahu...but after listening intently to all their previous works combined with their new stuff, i realised just as i have grown from being a teenager to an almost thirty year adult, so have they. their music has pretty much been a part of me throught my entire adult life..their six albums so far have made me realize that getting comfortable and confined to a particular style does not allow you to experiment and discover...many may feel that they are sellouts, some feel they have deteriorated but i feel that they have evolved, unlike many artists who dont change fearing loosing their base fans, these guys have gone out and actually found newer bases. from my perspective i have seen them create their legacy..and i feel damn good about that...from the super acidified, drug promotion tracks like roll us a giant to sensible message of converting vegetarians to being deeply disturbed, to becoming insane...i feel they have come to a complete circle....Psycho Becoming Insane..its something isnt it? now with the new Doors stuff they actually venturing out into another spectrum, another circle, lets all enjoy their success...afterall they have brought in many new ears to psytrance.

i totally agree! they have evolved and they're still great in my opinion
When I dance, I put myself in the DJ's hands to take me to a journey - the unconscious journey to reality

Infected Mushroom will always have a special place in me but....nowadays they simply suck!!!!
Its true they evolved, searching new grounds to their music but they end up with the worst of the results....and i dont question their production skills and knowledge - they sure are on top of it!!!!
Crossing-over to other styles, destroying boundaries to their music is something i aplaude but they brought the worst of each style they incorporated....in the end they dont innovate anything...just a mescla of the commercial(in a bad way) side of each electronic genre.
Putting aside the "labels" in music i would say that in the past they produce/compose great music, full of identity, intensity and most of all inovation. Nowadays they simple dont....in my opnion their work as an artistc piece is bad...
Maybe its just a phase

what is the fuckin problem with them?>!@>!#@!
the only thing is suck is the jealousy around here.
what u expect them to do ? boring full on trance ? dark stuff? gms stuff? domestic? etc etc
yes thier music is commercial, but not every commercial music is suck. but no.. most of the ppl here still dont get it.
I personaly dont care if u name thier style 'psytrance' / 'house' / 'pop' or i dont know what.
it has good energy,high production and music skills, beautiful melodys and great harmony.. for me this is great music.
I turn to all of u disappointed infected-music ppl - as Infected past-lovers, how do u want thier music will be today ? really.. give some ideas.. less vocals ? this is the only problem ?

Not a problem at all. They can do as they wish.
However, I feel incapable of playing any NEW tune from them in any of my sets, and I play sets of progressive, full on, techtrance, Zenon stuff, chill out, night, Dark, whatever the fu#k1ng style you want me to. Maybe it is a matter of style, not sure.
I still, for example, play old tunes from them like "Return of the Shadows" and the response is awesome.
I won't turn off the sound system, or feel bad if somebody start to play their tunes, I can listen to them, but on the dance floor I don't think the NEW stuff is suitable.
I don't think it has anything to do with jealousy, at least from my side. If you want some ideas, I'd suggest them to make some tunes more based on structure than on vocals and huge breaks & build ups. Things more trippy and effective on a psy dance floor than on radio, things people on progressive psy could stand. That's it.
Respect!

moving on to a commercial sound is ok... but their music sounds like a gone bad experiment fromf an crossover of a good electronic music band and a really crapy pop/rock/metal/punk band.
if you want to explore new sound ideas then do it properly like juno reactor or younger brother.
anyway a big respect for them and their contribution to psytrance. i hope they improve beyond todays music, and creat something really good... i think they have the capabilities to do so. SPQR |

^^ This man is right music is about structure and the story that you tell with the same and not vocals
IM still suck .

i Defenitly second that!!
the complaints i hear about IM:
- they moved to LA
- their music is not psychedelic enough
- their parties are sponsored by MTV
- their music is not the same as before anymore.
- they are big stars now
but all the above does not give me an excuse to stop sppreciating their music.
I  IM
 i haven't heard their last album though.. |

Infected Mushroom have left a mark in our hearths that will be there forvever. Todays music i don't like at all but that is my choice it does not mean anything in this ocean of sounds. Yes they have evolved into something else but they still express themselves in a completely different way than others, they don't follow they create something new and if we like it or not it does not matter they will always be Infected Mushroom and some of ther music will never die because it it is real!
Boom :)
