The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Probably one of my favorite covers ever

The song that got me into them eventually. Their songs have a very welcome weirdness to them that I greatly appreciate and enjoy listening to.

Infected Mushroom do crazy great covers, no matter what song it is. Half the time I randomly hear one and think it's thier song.

Wow, they've really evolved their sound.

Saw them live once. All those blazing arpeggios were played live. It was incredible standing next to their synths and watching dude play.

Wow, they’ve really evolved their sound.

This album is from 2012, they've released 6 more since, each with its own sound that is somehow still uniquely IM. You're in for a treat catching up lol

Huh. I haven't sought out their music in ages because I kinda moved on from psytrance. Guess I'll investigate the sound of the Mushroom and see where they've been. Thanks for the info.
