Notes

24-Bit Digitally Remastered Edition
Date of US Release May 21, 2002

Infected is such a leap forward from Soul Mining that the album hardly seems like the work of the same band. Instead of the light, agreeable dance-pop of the previous album, Infected draws a dense, dark sonic landscape that accurately conveys the alienation and despair Matt Johnson sings about.
