For a very long time, this was considered Infected Mushroom’s single best track. It’s not hard to figure out why so many people considered it as such: it has everything needed to be a killer (and memorable) psytrance track: a heavy bass drum, multiple dark synthesizer sounds layered on top of one another, weird movie samples (in this case, Species II), and a crazy Goa-trance vibe to the whole track.

Of course, no IM track is complete without some kind of insane lead that requires considerable skill with a keyboard. Thankfully, Erez Eisen provides that in spades; after multiple heavy leads throughout the middle of the track, at the 6:05 mark, you hear some of the most masterful piano playing ever heard in a trance track. Erez plays so quickly and so perfectly that before you know it, the piano transitions into a synth sound, but that doesn’t take away from the presumed speed at which he’s pressing his fingers on the keys.

In the end, the track ends in the same way, slowly fading into silence as Erez plays two piano scales at once. Clearly, this is the track that put the 'classical' in 'Classical Mushroom', and one of the defining tracks that set Infected Mushroom apart from other artists of the same genre.
