The album has a very smart planning where you are presented with more rock/psy oriented tracks in the beginning. Gently fading the border between voice and computer generated sounds. This is as I see it a great way for introducing listeners to pure electronica. Which is very prominent in Legend Of The Black Shawarma(T11). They are more as a compliment integrated in the tracks, often synthesized, modified and twisted à la Infected recipe. I feel as it is important to say that the lyrics are not used in an ordinary way. The tracks 6,8,9 and 10 are tracks with no lyrics, fitting into the second one.
The tracks can be divided into two categories, psyrock/psypop and psytrance where tracks: 1,2,3,4,5,7 and 11 fits into the first one. More so on Legend Of The Black Shawarma than on Vicious Delicious. I.M is obviously trying to reach out to a new audience, but they are still faithful to their older fans. If this was a conscious choice or just natural evolution is hard to say, but most probably it's a mix of both. I am on of them and has greatly enjoyed the releases following after C.V, but it is clear that the direction of those albums was towards a more mainstream appealing sound. Then there were the people just taking Erez and Duvdev's music for what it was, music, or to express it in a more poetic way, art. And with the release of I'm The Supervisor the last skeptics still accepting I.M also jumped off the train. One thing is for sure, and that is, that every album I.M release is a big evolution, good or bad, from the previous one.Įven the skeptics did agree that Converting Vegetarians could be regarded as psytrance, and downtempo, but it was with this album the border between psy and mainstream really began to erode. There is a sort of love or hate relationship to them, which is both their curse and benefit.
