The first track release me - is taken from the movie independance day - the conversation between the president and the alien... I guess you would have had to see the movie - but nevertheless it is an awesome track

This must be the most perfect album I've ever heard... At first, it seemed a bit too scary to me, but after a few more listens the album really opened up to me. The tracs take you deeper than any I've ever heard before, the melodies taking perfect, thrillingly intense shapes. Once the album takes you into its' grip, it carries you through it, keeping you gasping at the dark beauty of it. Once the album comes to an end, it leaves you wonderfully exhausted. The album is a whole, from the beginning to the end, and I recommend you listen to it with thought, indulging on the perfection and the complexity of it. It gives the listener something new every time. Perfect.

This album needs some time to get used to, but after listening a few times it is just as good as Classical Mushroom. Just like the sample goes: "What do you want us to do? Die". Psycho is one of the better tracks on this cd. I liked it because of the spooky melodies.
Great album by Erez and Duvdev.

When this album was released, it was really great but now, after you've heard newer songs by Infected Mushroom, this isn't actually so great anymore...Most of the songs don't really sound so professional and they lack lead-melodies, they are mostly based on good acid-lines that get boring after a while. The only real perfect song here is Over Mode and it's really flawless thanks to great arrangement, bassline and original beat. Virtual Voyage is almost as good with really stunning melody in the end. Tommy the Bat has the best acid-lines here and it's among the best tracks too. But other songs aren't really that special if you compare them to newer songs by Infected Mushroom. This is a great CD, of course, but the newer songs are far better than the most of this album, only the last 3 tracks are still really stunning. But if you don't have this album, your life lacks something...

I think this is one of the best cd's ever, a work of art from
I-Zen and Duvdev. I think that they are one of the best groups in
the world.
Notice track 3 and 6

I loved it from the beginning, since I found the whole album on an mp3/goa server on the internet... still I will go and buy this beautiful piece of psychedelic art !!

Virtual Voyage & Over Mode lifts you up and gives you a brain popping orgasm with its overwhelming energy and wonderful, unexpected variations !!

..but be aware: its so strong, you can't listen to it all the time !! (at least my experiences) ;)

GREAT WORK !!

The more I listen to this album, the more infected I get. Tim Schuldt, Cydonia, X-Dream, GMS all rock; but Mushroom rule the roost. Just heard the new BP album- sweet as.

This is the most inspiring psytrance i've ever heard!Amazing production and intuitive use of processed electric guitar as lead synth in many of tracks.This is a shockingly good albulm.

Along with X-Dream's "radio", this is the best trance album ever. I don't like "classical mushroom" as much as this one but even that album is in my top 5 trance albums ever. Infected mushroom are to me real magicians and without a doubt very capable musicians. But I think that this album is better suited for listening than dancing. When it comes to dancing, X-dream are still kings......
