Composition and themes

Return To The Sauce is a return to the psytrance roots of Infected Mushroom's earlier works. Much like its predecessor, 2015s Converting Vegetarians II, the album features heavy use of Infected Mushroom's custom pitch shifting plugin, Manipulator, even getting a song of the same name dedicated to it. Much like Infected Mushroom's earlier work, Return To The Sauce has many middle eastern influences in its melodies and sounds.
