│ --== Info ==-- │
│ Infected Mushroom is Israel's biggest act of Psychedelic Trance, │
│ Formed 1996 by Amit Duvdevani and Erez Aizen. Releasing 3 successful │
│ albums (two of them reaching the status of gold albums), dozends of │
│ tracks on international compilations and performing live all over the │
│ world, Infected Mushroom have always been exploring the field of │
│ 'Freestyled Electronica' and it was just a matter of time until this │
│ leading group will find itself involved in a more 'mainstream' genre. │
│ │
│ Berry Sakharof is today one of the most respected and successful artist │
│ in Israel. In 1980 he established the legendary Israeli group - Minimal │
│ Compact, which were quite prolific throughout the '80s, releasing over │
│ six LP's worth of tasteful, elegant art pop and dance-rock in Belgium, │
│ where they signed with the Belgian label Crammed Discs, over the past 20 │
│ years he release 5 artist albums, produced records for dozens of Israeli │
│ groups and singers, and performing live hundreds of times in Israel and │
│ around the globe. │
│ │
│ On June 20th, 2002, over 3000 people gathered to witness a first of its │
│ kind collaboration. The best rock artist in Israel joined forces with │
│ the most popular electronic act in Israel to bring forth an impressive │
│ show of Electronic Rock! This event was so successful, that it was │
│ immediately decided to produce a CD single, that will capture the magic │
│ of this team up and hopefully will stimulate more projects of this kind. │

│ --== Reviews ==-- │
│ This is mostly not trance, but it is Infected Mushroom and they do team │
│ up here with one of the most important and innovative Israeli rock │
│ musician, and it's excellent music - so here's a review. │
│ │
│ First Infected & Berry give up a new version to Berry's Yom Huledet │
│ (Birthday in Hebrew) from his Ham Al Hayareah (Calor en la Luna) album. │
│ The combination works well and adds happiness and bounce to the song. │
│ Then they cooperate in a new interpretation to Minimal Compact's classic │
│ Statik Dancin' from their first EP on Crammed (1981). For me this is │
│ really returning to the source! Minimal Compact, for those who don't │
│ know, where the first real innovative Israeli band to break out of │
│ Israel and had a decade of fruitful creativeness in Europe. This is a │
│ nice bouncy remix that does right to the original and gives it a good │
│ deserved travel through time to our new century. I would imagine it │
│ differently- more percussion and a little more psychedelic (the original │
│ has it all), but I'm not Infected. And I do miss Samy Birenbach's │
│ voice... │
│ │
│ Ending the CDS is Deeply Disturbed, a full on melodic track, Infected │
│ style, with a lot of music inside, and a good exploding break and entry. │
│ Nice and catchy, especially the vocal line, but got on my nerves pretty │
│ fast after I was humming to myself for 2 days: "I'm deeply disturbed and │
│ I'm deeply unhappy", especially I'm a happy content person. I hope the │
│ guys find some positive inspirations again soon. │
│ │
│ Recomendation: Interesting, different, and an opening for something │
│ new. Still feels like a short fast one-time project (which it was). │
│ People who love Berry & Infected should have this. Others interested in │
│ something different should check it out. │

│ │
│ Well the guys came back with some interesting experimental stuff. What │
│ we hear here is their collaboration with one of Israeli leading rock │
│ singers, Berry Sakharof. And some surprising stuff they made indeed. │
│ │
│ Track1 - Birthday: Features Berry's vocals (in Hebrew) and it's actually │
│ a remix to Berry's old track. A nice breakbeat driven 120 BPM track with │
│ some beautiful guitar solos by Berry. Little short but satisfying track. │
│ Track 2: Statik Dancing, is another remix to another Berry's old song. │
│ But this time in English and 4/4 140BPM and Duvdev sings here with │
│ Berry. Some nice guitar melodies by Berry here as well but I find this │
│ track to be the weakest link of this single. │
│ The next track Deeply Disturbed in contrary is a great energetic │
│ explosive, the tempo mark is on 145, and boy it's one wicked evil track. │
│ With evil vocal input courtesy of Duvdev (I am deeply disturbed and I am │
│ deeply unhappy) that really reminds me somewhat Prodigy and Fluke. Great │
│ atmosphere in this track with a lot of moans and scream sounds. │
│ All in all very recommended single and absolutely must for Infected │
│ Mushroom fans. And don't let the Hebrew frighten you in the 1st track. │
│ 8\10 │
