Infected Mushroom

Three or four weeks ago I was having lunch in Wascana Park and found in the bushes several CDs covered in mud & moisture & mould & did what any good DJ would do, salvaging everything that held some promise. The result was the addition of the following five titles to my playlist:

The Trinity – Sean Paul
Fist of God – MSTRKRFT
Collected – Massive Attack
Hellbilly Deluxe – Rob Zombie
Vicous Delicious – Infected Mushroom
