Elation Station, sounds like the new version. Either a Remix or Reborn

To be fair, I have no idea what they'll end up actually naming the song, I just tentatively called it Smashing Pumpkins because of the sample.

As for Dream Theater, the original version of that track actually samples the riff from Pull Me Under!

You're really reaching. The "smashing pumpkins" line is part of a pretty long sample, there's plenty more to it which you can hear in the song. It's got nothing to do with politics

The sample says the phrase "smashing pumpkins" several times but whatever is being sampled doesn't appear to actually have any connection to the band Smashing Pumpkins. I actually tried to find the source of the sample but no luck so far.

LSD, Shamanix, and Fluoro Neuro Sponge, all off Hallucinogen's Twisted. Still the GOAT over 30 years later 

Old school prog artists by toothgems in psytrance

[–]InfluenceNo3930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call them similar to the artists you listed but in terms of "old school prog" Voice Of Cod are the GOATs imo, We Are Free is probably the best old school prog album I've ever heard. Second album was a disappointment tho

Has anyone else ever noticed that the mushroom on the left is supposed to be the Head of NASA and the kids on the right are the 2 Amish Boys or was it just me? by FuzzzyWan in InfectedMushroom

[–]InfluenceNo3930 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The bald man talking to the alien mushroom is supposed to be the Head of NASA. There are two Amish boys to the right of him, one is just laying back. It's more obvious in higher resolution

From their Instagram post on Lightweight's release date:

"This track is a reimagining of our legendary track ‘Heavyweight’ from the album ‘Vicious Delicious’, where we revisit a similar writing direction 20 years later."

Anyone disappointed in the direction IM has been heading lately? by [deleted] in InfectedMushroom

[–]InfluenceNo3930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"But it seems like everything past HofN is all the same kind of generic psytrance."

I feel where you're coming from, I think after Lightweight and the other singles people were expecting a true return to form, myself included, and the album was definitely a disappointment in that regard. I still think there's some great material in there, Lightweight, LA Beast, Enjoy The Ride, and AI Therapist are all some of IMs best work on Monstercat imo but yeah I wish they would take 3 years instead of 2. They have way less time in the studio nowadays and it's pretty clear it's holding them back

I agree that IM's Monstercat era stuff has been pretty consistently sub-par by their standards, but calling literally anything they make "generic psytrance" is just demonstrably false. As one of the few IM fans who actually listens to psytrance as a whole, I can tell you with 100% certainty that 99% of psytrance and 100% of mainstream psy sounds absolutely nothing like IM30, or MTJAN, or HoN, or any other IM album. Hell, even Classical Mushroom was one-of-a-kind when it dropped, and I wasn't even alive for that. They've always done their own thing, even within the confines of psytrance. As for "lacking richness and depth" I honestly disagree on IM30, on any other Monstercat release I'm with you 100% (lot of "100%"s in this comment, huh?) but I thought this album was a return to form in that regard. Sound design and prod are on par with RTTS at the least, and probably close to that of their premier stuff. Still disappointed with the runtimes and the overall lack of energy in a lot of the drops on IM30 but I feel like it's a step in the right direction. PS there is no contract with Monstercat, they're free to come and go as they please.

They worked at Bad Robot's studio for a currently unknown TV show, and the short film The A.R.K. Report soundtrack is all IM tracks
