Infected Mushroom are an Israeli psytrance/electronica duo formed in Haifa in late 1997 by producers Erez Eisen, who uses the moniker "Eisen", and Amit Duvdevani, or "Duvdev". The duo's style has evolved in the 2000s to include trip-hop, industrial rock and goa. They employ a variety of musical sources, including acoustic guitars, choirs, and complex synthesized basses, in compositions that often contain constant changes of drum beat and tempo. Infected Mushroom's live shows feature vocals and analogue instruments in performances that are set against a multimedia backdrop.
Infected Mushroom is one of the best-selling groups in Israel's history, in terms of both domestic and international sales. Both founding members reside in Los Angeles, California.
Famous quotes containing the words infected and/or mushroom:
“O my dear Candide! You knew Paquette, that pretty attendant of our august baroness; I tasted in her arms the delights of paradise, which produced these torments of hell by which you see me devoured; she was infected and may have died of it.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
