 (4 Customer Reviews)
An impressively varied collection from the Israeli duo Infected Mushroom, I'm the Supervisor adds a few more vocals than is their usual wont (in particular, the distorted, processed vocals on "Cities of the Future" recall the Prodigy) and massages the tempos more than some of their earlier albums, but is otherwise entirely of a piece. Erez Aizen and Amit Duvdevani are masters at subsuming listeners inside great throbbing walls of beats, with snatches of melody weaving through the arrangements merely for decoration. Yet there's not the bludgeoning quality of many trance records (even some of Infected Mushroom's early works); this is music that envelops -- rather than overwhelms -- the listener. Psychedelic in a way that dance music rarely has been since the heyday of the Madchester scene, the best parts of I'm the Supervisor, most notably the gamelan-like noises, cut-up samples, and old-school sequencer throb of "Bombat," are as exciting as pure dance music has been in ages. ~ Stewart Mason Infected Mushroom Im The Supervisor Songs | 1. | Im the Supervisor |

 Tripping In?!?!
Imagine life as a mushroom. Your'e a tiny little spore that attaches to some sort of sustenance and then practically overnight you blossom into a giant life producing macrocosm. You are either eaten, squashed, or simply die and disintegrate. Hopefully the wind or some living creature carries your progeny to another place to start all over again.
Upon dissection someone discovers a sinewy and strong integrity, not too colorful but what is discerned shimmers nonetheless. Can words describe this? Perhaps on another plane of existence where their interdimensionality can be heard as well as felt. Under the microscope and intense magnification the microcosmic intensities you call home are fully realized.

TRIPPY
This is the perfect soundtrack to your first trip, unlike the othe IM albums this really captures what you feel while under the influence of the particular object at hand.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Oh yes, its GooD
This CD is worth it down to the dime. If you are interested in traditional hardcore techno, or music thats just plain trippy, invest in some shroom CDs. Most of them are good.

Im The Supervisor
 $11.65   
EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of the songs. Keyboards, pedal steel, and acoustic guitars drift like abandoned ships swirling around in a colorfully tempestuous sea full of unknown nautical demons. Guitarist Vudi contributes some of the most artful, non-traditional sounds ever concocted by a "rock" axeman.
The album begins with a slow, soulful lament to a love who's either sleeping or dead, before taking up the subject of mortality more fully in the anthemic "Rise," written by Eitzel for an AIDS-stricken friend. Eitzel observes the trials of those around him on "Ex-Girlfriend," but "Sick of Food" turns his gaze inward, breathlessly describing his alienation from virtually everything and his simultaneous longing for connection. His disaffection grows more urgent on "The Dead Part of You," but by the closing folky ballad "Jesus' Hands," Eitzel's delivering ...

Truth be told, the Trembling Blue Stars routine was getting kind of stale by the release of Seven Autumn Flowers in 2004. With that album they crossed the line that divides reliable and predictable; no longer did the morose lyrics, melancholy vocals, minor chords and cheesy synths make a positive impression. Luckily for fans of the band, The Last Holy Writer is a comeback of sorts, certainly an improvement, and maybe even one of their finest records. How did they do it? It's hard to say because on the surface it seems like not much has changed sound or mood-wise. There's still a preponderance of downbeat lyrics and Bob Wratten hasn't suddenly traded in his mope for a smile, no fear of that anytime soon. The building blocks of their sound are mostly the same too. What makes a difference here is a boost in the overall energy level from unrelenting gloom to mostly sad, a slightly expanded sonic palette that makes room for field recordings and a wider range of drum sounds, and most importantly, some really good songs. Chief among them are the Beth Arzy-sung "Idyllwild" which, much like Helen Reddy on the last album, fairly bursts out of the speakers like sun through the clouds, "Darker, Colder, Slower," which has the kind dramatic shifts in dynamics and tone TBS Records need more of, the laid-back near-country rocker "The Tenth of Always," and the almost happy sounding "Say Goodbye to the Sea" (of course the words are devastatingly sad, but the drum program and the bells will have you smiling through the tears). The song that will really make the album worthwhile for Wratten fanatics is "November ...
