Review of Classical Mushroom by Infected Mushroom

The Best Trance/Goa CD Released to Date

Mark Carter
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. I would suggest you listen 'Mushi Mushi' first. It is I think 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.

It is 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
