Through conscious poetic rhymes and live instrumentation, infectious organisms strives to breathe creativity and energy into the stagnant materialistic world of hip-hop.
Originally formed in 1996 in Richmond, Virginia, infectious has spent their time cultivating their sound and building their legion of devoted fans into an army of infected beat heads.
Infectious has that special combination: a band capable of blowing out a room live while equally skilled as producers in the studio.
The group consists of MCs Felton Martin and Jean Kouame supported by bassist Dave Sunderland, brothers Will and Brooke Blair on drums and guitar respectively, and pianist Mike Mathews.
After selling 5,000 copies of their independently released self-titled debut, infectious spent the last year in the studio crafting a follow up capable of advancing the sound that has become their trademark: groove orientated instrumentation with rappers tight enough to crush coal into diamonds.
Human Experience is the result of the last year.
Eleven tracks fusing a virtuoso backing band with lyrics preaching awareness and intelligence.
The album culls the myriad influences of each member resulting in an ambitious work with sure-fire radio hits like "Hall St." and "Medelling Cartel" interwoven into meditative ambient tracks like "Comfort in the Swell."

Don't delay; just get this album. You will be glad you did. The kind of music you can just kick back and listen to with no distraction and be taken to other worlds. I recommend it highly.

The legacy of what should have been a legacy

First, if anyone knows why Infectious Organisms broke up could you post it to the site? I think many of us need closure.
Infectious Organisms were in their element on stage. People were converts after a few songs at a show. And just look at how many people are still crying out for this band to re-group. I've never witnessed anything like it for a band that never had a label. That being said, I'm not sure this CD captured their ethereal and passionate live show, but it's the closest thing that is around (to my knowledge?) to getting a small taste of what it was like.
Human Experience was over produced (less raw) then the orginal live show, and mixed somewhat poorly (the drums are flat and too loud, guitar to low). However, this is a must own CD. It's one of the finest examples of atmosphereic rap... great lyrics, great music. It's the only album I know of with the band's final line-up. They could have really shaped and influenced music had they just given it a few more years.
