Mr. Moo presents Mushroom pt.2
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-10-29

What more could we say about Mushroom? In his just-published review of the band's latest album, Mr. Moo says: 'Originally from The Bay area, home of the freaks, this rather instrumental combo channels every style there ever was in progressive music: californian psychedelic, electric jazz and funk, kraut-rock, afro-beat, avant-garde, ragas, garage, british folk and jazz, soul, prog and space-rock'. Before that he had written a mind-bending interview from their bandleader Pat Thomas and had published a tripping Mr. Moo presents Mushroom pt.1 mix to download. Well here's the final piece of our huge Mushroom Special on Paris DJs, the Mr. Moo presents Mushroom pt.2 mix that we had promised a month ago. Your musical spectrum is gonna go wider and wilder.
