Did you listen to Yahel's album 'Hallucinate'? Or 'Heart Attack'? That's quite
a difference from Around the World guys... a real big difference imo.
As for Infected, it's not one sound in psy that I want or enjoy. I'm fully aware
that what labels a tune as ''psy'' is not a certain bassline or loud beats: that's
just part of the equation. After all, music is a blend of many sectors and
instruments that labels an artist's sound as ''his'' sound just like in trance
as a whole or any other type of music - it's not all one sound, so I agree
with that Sam. Psy can be many (& sometimes) unrelated sounds between
artists, what simply makes an artist unique in his sound. It's just a huge
spectrum with different sounds filling different spots across it's length.
Infected went instrumental: nobody can deny that those two have done a
phenomenal job in producing and performing a solely unmatched Infected
Mushroom sound that can't be mistaken with anybody's else. I'm still a
huge fan of Infected of the 90's... in fact, up until Converting Vegeterians
(and presicely 'Deeply Disturbed') things were more than perfect with
Infected.
Since then, they just took things to a different perspective. I don't like
cutting a pumping bassline for some vocals, or interupting build-ups with
some instruments. That's all what I got against their sound. The loud
basslines and all is not the primary issue for me in their sound.
I still enjoy ultimate master-pieces like:
- Unbalanced
- Tasty Mushroom
- P.G.M.
- Virtual Voyage
- Symphonatics (love the Silent Hill remix too)
- Echonomix
- Psycho
- Tasty Mushroom
- Release Me
too many to count, but almost everything they made before I'm the
Supervisor. I'm just a fan of their old sound - not really fond of most of
their late productions except for Something Else and the remix for Astrix -
Coolio. Putting all that appart, I salut their approach and different take on
psytrance and labeling a unique Infected Mushoom sound.
