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. │ │ │ │ (from http://www.infected-mushroom.de/news/news/birthdayreleaseinfo.htm) │ │ │ │ │ │ --== 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. │ │ │ │ (Reviewed byy Shahar in August 2002) │ │ (from http://www.isratrance.com/music/reviews/review203.html) │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ 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 │ │ │ │ (Reviewed by [email protected] in July 30, 2002) │ │ (from http://goatrance.free.fr/reviews/birthday.htm) │ │ │ │ ?──────────────────────────────[ Tracklist ]─────────────────────────────┐ │ │ : : │ │ 01.
