Mr. Moo presents Mushroom pt.1

Mr. Moo presents Mushroom pt.1
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-24

We've been featuring Mushroom in our annual best of' albums selections so many times that bandleader Pat Thomas started coming back to us about doing the interview we had offered to do years ago already. The band keeps on releasing mind-blowing records year after year so we asked our psychedelic music expert Mr. Moo to take care of what ended as an Herculanean work…. You can read the interview here. To go along with with this in-depth discussion, Mr. Moo has prepared two 45mn mixes focusing on Mushroom's music, with the help of Pat Thomas himself who brought in a few exclusive tracks. Here's the first part, well publish the second one next month, with a companion review of Mushroom's latest strictly limited album (100 copies only!). Enjoy the trip!
