5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful Psychedelic Trance, January 16, 2001

With this CD, Infected Mushroom have managed to articulate very complex musical ideas extremely well and in a way that keeps the CD interesting and enjoyable after far too many listens. Each track demonstrates very refined skill in sound design, musical composition, construction of complex danceable rhythms, and arrangement... There is much energy and power here in the melodies and sounds they've developed, and in the ways they've been assembled. I've heard lots of Goa that I really like-- Hallucinogen, X-Dream, and Cosmosis... but Infected Mushroom have done something I haven't yet heard anywhere else-- which amounts to the closest thing to classical composition anyone has yet achieved with such a refreshingly bizarre approach to sound design. Get ready for a symphony of flange in a storm of filtersweeps with chaotic oscillator-sync, 32nd-note gating, diced samples, mad panning, piano arpeggios, string pads, acoustic and electric guitar, all set to some very infectious rhythms.

Gives me a ....

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!

Infected Mushroom is back and this time they are bringing more style than ever before. This 9 track cd, composed by the Israeli group, is amazing. this goa trance is the first to mix classical instruments along with electronic music in a beautiful harmony. this cd is defenatly a must for any electronic music fan.
