I do agree with Dan saying they're confused or that they don't wanna go all mainstream but they don't wanna go back to their roots either.
I also think that these guys are doing what's best for them. I mean they do this for a living, so they need more and more people listening to their albums and coming to their shows. I didn't care much for psy years and years ago when I first heard their songs, and to be honest as a non-psyhead it didn't get my attention. But their IM album got me hooked. I've seen them 8 times now, and of course now I can appreciate their older work too. With their IM The Supervisor album I've gotten 5-6 of my friends to give (mainstream)psytrance a chance and maybe one day they'll appreciate the twisted melodies and the crazy fx 
These guys are trying to make a living, which is understandable. We'd all like to believe musicians should do it for the music and for the love of the fans, but we all have bills to pay.
I, like many others, loved Heavyweight. Holy fuck, those psytars are perfect for becoming insane (no pun intended) 
Overall, I do hear a lot of the same sounds and tricks used in their IM the Supervisor album, so nothing totally new.
All I can say for now is, I hope they get rich and that they can achieve their dream of working with the likes of Madonna or whoever it is they wanna work with now. These guys have given me lots of great parties and tons of beautiful music. I'd still pay to see them next time they come to Canada  |
Yeah I don't hold any of their new aspirations against them. I never truly EXPECT anything from an artist or band, that's just stupid, and like I stated they had been moving into this direction since two album s ago, so this arrival was inevitable. I have been listening to the album more and more getting to know it, understanding it. And strangely enough it's starting to click with me more. I still have my qualms but even some of the tracks I initially disliked I am starting to bop my head to Artilery lol.
I don't think that money is a primary driving factor. I do think they love what they do and that they are having fun following their musical goals. I think when people see an artist make a move from being more underground to more commercial they start to assume they are selling out to get more money etc. I think for some artists that may be the case but I don't think that's the case for Infected Mushroom, at least not entirely. My only support to this is what I stated several times prior, they had made their intentions clear from day one about who inspired them and who they wanted to work with and anyone who has a brain knew that perhaps one day they would work to make it happen. Good for them!
No matter what kinda music they are pumping out their live shows still make me go insane and I would still travel accross the U.S. to go see them. They are coming to Atlanta in the summer, def won't miss out on that
Bottom line for me... Infected still rocks. They have been changing over the years but they still have a quality to them that can find it's way into me and make me happy.

Special Place is excellent...even g-units i know like the track |
I like Special Place but this song is a huge fucking TEASE! aT 2:42 the track starts building and building then at 2:57 it really starts to build and getting me excited. Finally at 4:01 it drops and goes into a very oldschool, almost "Classical Mushroom" style melody line which gets me very excited. The vocals come in and they aren't bad, kinda catchy and they work just fine for me. BUT BUT BUT, here is where the song makes me wanna punch them. At 4:46 it starts to build again, this time with vocal fx... it builds and builds and builds and I'm about to die in anticipation because I can feel a GREAT Infected moment coming at the climax, then when the build explodes at 6:01 it simply just thwarts us back into the vocals again just accompanied by the kick and bassline... no driving guitar, twisted acid synth lines, no epic crazy climax, just vocals. They missed a great opportunity to go nuts. It's like a blowjob without the ending... that's just WRONG.
