Infected Mushroom’s trademark Israeli sound hits hard and furiously in the duo’s latest album, I.M. the Supervisor. While purists may deride the use of vocals, they soften Psychedelic Trance’s more cerebral sound in a way that’s danceable and immediately enjoyable to novices of the genre. But that’s not to say this isn’t an edgy album. “Bombat” and “Frog Machine” feature psychedelic synthtars will have you yearning for more, while symphonic segues and interludes in “Ratio Schmatio” will have you questioning reality. The catchy “Cities of the Future” re-appears here and the dub-style “Muse Breaks” will recall a past life in Jamaica. This is no doubt a crowning achievement for this fringe genre, and for Infected Mushroom as well. A must-own for all fans of Goa-style and Psychedelic Trance.

Crises is my favourite of Mike Oldfield’s eighties CDs. As with its direct predecessor, it contains one long piece which took up the whole of the first side of the original vinyl and a set of shorter tracks, five in this case, on the second side. The shorter songs on the earlier albums were often a lot weaker than the longer pieces. Partly that was because Oldfield’s musical style was not transferring well to shorter pieces but also, the lyrics were often quite dire.

Experience clearly helped a lot but also collaboration with other musicians. On Crises, the most notable name is Jon Anderson of Yes who is creditied with lyrics and vocals on one song “In High Places” which really sounds as though it could have come from a contemporary Yes album.
