Music reviews of Vicious Delicious
Music Review: A little peculiar when compared to previous releases
Rating: 4 Stars
Infected Mushroom has not been an especially ... diverse act in the past. A lot of their music has been pretty consistently goa trance with sometimes a touch of house. And always, always psychedelic, deeply layered. Their two strongest (previous) albums, Converting Vegetarians and I'm The Supervisor, varied little from one another with the latter being a little more progressive and mature. The latter also had more vocals than the previous, although heavily filtered through the vocoder.
It would be accurate to call Vicious Delicious an extrapolation of I'm The Supervisor, given the two members of the band are both somewhat young and continue to grow as musicians (and ostensibly as people). Reflecting this, there are even more vocals in this album. It also helps to have seen them on the tour prior to the release of this album, in which a guitar figured heavily in the performance (which was rare in previous recordings).
As such, we are given a somewhat strong hip-hop influence, and what seem to be elements of Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Juno Reactor and... Rock? None of which are a bad thing, of course. However, it marks something of a departure from Goa and Trance to what might be called more "classical" techno (which is admittedly somewhat hard for such a young genre) or just "electronic music" for sake of its being rather a generic term. For fans of Converting Vegetarians or BP Empire, this record will be very, very different; perhaps not different in a good way. However, fans of the genre may find this to be a significant (or at least relevant) work in the corpus (of techno; probably not of electronic music).
So here's what you get: seventy minutes, eleven tracks, of very well produced techno, with a guitar-driven edge (even a bit of slide and whammy bar solo-wailing that could almost recall Aerosmith or Poison -- really.), and vocals with a slightly political bent (some talk of war is almost inevitable in contemporary music), which is not really defined by one particular trait. As such, it doesn't especially shine as an album, and in my opinion it isn't as interesting as their previous work.
If you're a fan of the band, it's probably not a bad investment; if you've been following them a long time and expected to hear another Converting Vegetarians, you may want to buy it used; if you like BT or Sasha or any of that silly mainstream stuff, this is not for you; if you liked I'm the Supervisor, you may like this; if you saw them on tour in the last year or so, and liked that show, you'll dig this record. We left that show an hour early.
Description of Vicious Delicious
Vicious Delicious is the sixth studio album by psychedelic trance duo Infected Mushroom, released on March 26, 2007.[3] The cover art was done by David Ho who later made a similar artwork for Seether's Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. The album was originally scheduled to be released on 6/6/06, but the release date was postponed because, according to posts by the band on their forum, promotion had not begun far enough in advance and the parties involved decided to delay the release.[4] Vicious Delicious has a somewhat different sound than that of other Infected Mushroom albums, pleasing some fans and alienating others. The track "Artillery" epitomizes this change in sound, being the only hip-hop track on the album, incorporating a somewhat nu metal sound. The rest of the album contains music that can be described as an electronic hybrid of trance, psychedelic, and rock.Dance & DJ CDs
