Hey people, thought I might start a general discussion thread on Army of Mushrooms.

Im very much digging it and am glad to hear what the boys can pull out of their incredibly deep sample bag to throw at the dub step / psy step *whatever*

Was stoked to hear a remix of Fooeys on the track! I felt like the vocals were a bit weak though.

full tennis ball intro in Nation of Wusses! *have a listen*

They're not psytrance and haven't been for a long time.

A truly psychedelic group does not confine themselves to the shallow concepts of a pigeon holed genre.

They are not psy-trance and haven't been for a long time, but they remain truly psychedelic.

It can be sad how the psy scene, more than any other dance subculture, gets so hung up on that shit. It's as if an artist's music isn't allowed to evolve?

I love this track, I also love the last album. Their live set at stereo was pretty good, in super hind sight I wish the giant glowing amon tobin style balls thing toured Aus, their set at the palace had a fair chunk of the good psy stuff after the band set, which was a lot like when they toured the Vicious Delicious album.

That show in 2007 was something me and my mates still talk about as a standout awesome gig. It might have been because it was like the 3rd thing I'd been to, the awesome people I went with, the new ones I met or whatever else makes a night really memorable, but it was great from the start till the sun came up.

Anyway here's hoping somehow we can get them to a bush doof again some day since i missed the earthcore days.
