Infected Mushroom這光看團名或許你難以聯想到究竟是何種曲風的音樂組合，但若提醒你這是2006 DJMag Top 100 DJ Poll的第12名，或許你可能會稍有印象。 是的，由來自以色列的Erez Aizen與Amit Duvdevani aka Duvdev所組成的Trance電舞團體Infected Mushroom，自99年的首張專輯至今已發表過6張大碟，向來以高能量的Psy-Trance再加以強悍奔馳的BPM為其特色。然而，在此睽違多時的新輯《Vicious Delicious》中除了保有一貫的爆猛性Psy-Trance的專輯同名單曲〈Vicious Delicious〉外，嘗試向嘻哈取經的〈Artillery〉、華麗的Electronica〈Forgive Me〉、電影配樂史詩氛圍的Heavyweight〉，首支主打單曲〈Becoming Insane〉更以融入佛朗明哥節拍與吉他聲線及Duvdev所帶來的Vocal演繹，再加上墨西哥知名樂隊Kinky當中的主音歌手Gil Cerezo同臺演出，終以成就出無懈可擊的完美勁曲。 Mining Israelian Goa trance of its hottest intensities, Infected Mushroom remain one of the Middle Easts biggest international cult successes. Erez Aizens cheap background in obsessed bedroom computer tinkering had led him into and out of a number of crude dance efforts, and when a mutual friend suggested he should get together with Amit Duvdevani, a trash metal fan who had just returned from an aborted career path in India, the two found enough in common to surreptitiously explore the rising psychedelic trends pouring out the nations clubs. The results — 1998s The Gathering, which was heavily inspired by the surreal ambient dance of Simon Posford, X-Dream, and Transwave, and 2000s Classical Mushroom, an aggressively melodic trance LP that broke the European, Japanese, and American markets — elevated Infected Mushroom to one of Israels key trance producing duos.
