Absolutely Brilliant July 26, 2008
cebus
This is by far my favorite IM album (although I've never heard I'm the Supervisor). As someone else implied, the music spans across the whole spectrum from "sad to comically mischievous" which is a great way to put it.
Some of the songs are kind of quirky, but I can't get enough of them.
The album sounds quite unlike anything else I've heard--there's just so much more diversity captured within each song compared to their other albums. It's not always that repetitive, driving beat that we often hear. While some may not like this new approach, I really do because it brings out so much creativity. The second disc alone is worth it for me, but the first can stand on its own as well.
Not New but Definitey Forward May 15, 2008

If it weren't for the name, Infected Mushroom would be trailing up the charts worldwide. Their proposal isn't new but it is definitely and advancement over the capabilities of Techno, Trance and what we used to call New Wave Music.
We hear catchy tunes, synth sounds never heard, mixes, effects and alterations to rhythm which would have made Alice in Wonderland pass out. Elation Station is by far the best song. What were the DJ's listening to and remixing when this song came out?
I bought this album by mere coincidence. Walking down the shops at Camden in London I heard it over a portable CD. I couldn't help asking the name of the band and the album, therefore my purchase.
They deserve better, they deserve to be recognized for what they are: real artists, real people making real music. If Techno and Synths are your thing, you must listen to this album.
Perfection... November 10, 2007

This album is absolute genius. The Trance Side is excellent, but pure musical perfection shines through on the Other Side. The entire album is like a tapestry of a journey into the mind. The songs become intensely personal and are simply unforgettable. The music will capture you no matter when or where you listen to it. Try it in your car on a long drive; it's electrifying! All the songs are fantastic but Converting Vegetarians, Elation Station, Drop Out, Pletzturra, I Wish, Illuminaughty and Elevation stick out in my mind the most. Buy this CD. You won't regret it.
 This will grown on you October 29, 2007
Steven Reddie (An Aussie in Seattle, WA USA)
This album takes a little bit of an investment. At first listen there are some cool concepts here, but it's a little too polished and commercial sounding compared to their earlier work. However, if you persist you will likely find that it grows on you as you notice more nuances than on previous listenings. This album is more vocal the previous works, and some of those vocals are a real shock to hear from a band that it almost entirely instrumental. The initial shock of the vocals fades after a few listens and you're left with some pretty awesome tracks that you'll find yourself listening to again and again, and getting caught humming to yourself in some strange places.
there's a picture of a brain on a fish hook June 18, 2007

Infected Mushroom are two guys from Israel. Which just goes to show you, guys from Israel make much better music than guys from, say, Canada, where apparently all it takes to become a rock star is really bad shoulder-length wavy hair and the ability to say "Yeah" like 50 million times.
When I first bought this, I was thoroughly disgusted by the cover art, which to me just looked like a gigantic fish hook with a brain stuck on it. After several days of vomiting, I gathered the nerve to look at the picture again, at which point I realized that I had been looking at the picture all wrong. It's actually a really small brain on a normal-sized fish hook. So it's probably just the brain of a Chihuahua or a member of the U.S. Congress or something.
If you are able to close your eyes long enough to open the case, you'll find that there is a Compact Disc inside, which plays all sorts of wonderful music when placed inside a compatible Compact Disc playing device. When placed in another kind of device it probably won't do much of anything. As a matter of fact, there are two Discs in there, but don't try to play them both at once. I made this mistake, and it kind of sounds like Nickelback when you do this, so you should try to avoid playing them both at the same time.
You should be warned that this is not, as you might think, an instructional audio book for the actual conversion of vegetarians. Although this is indeed a worthy goal, audio books would be worthless in converting vegetarians. Unless maybe you whack them on the head and say, "Hey! You shouldn't be a vegetarian, tofu-boy!" I think the best way to convert a vegetarian is to make a really delicious cheeseburger and give it to a vegetarian. They might not eat it unless you tell them it's a tofu-burger, but after they've eaten it you can tell them the truth and see how happy they are that you helped them with their problem. I've never tried this, because I've never met a real live vegetarian, but I'm sure it would work. Especially if the cheeseburger is from that place Chester's in San Antonio.
Once you get past all this, you'll be happy to discover that this product does have its redeeming qualities: namely, original, creative "trance" and "other" music that will blow your mind. Buy it and you won't be sorry. Unless you really, really like Chihuahuas.
