Wonderful Virus is the debut album by post-grunge group Green Apple Quick Step.[3] It was released in 1993 on the Medicine label.[4] The album was produced by Daniel Rey.
Medicine released the single "Ludes and Cherrybombs" as a promotional CD in Europe in 1993, containing the album version, a version remixed by Martin Feveyear, and an edited version of that remix. The single was also released as a limited edition 7" purple vinyl in the UK in 1994, with the Feveyear remix on one side and the other side containing an acoustic version of "Feel My Way", as well as a track called "The Unheard Music". Both B-side tracks were recorded by John Goodmanson, mixed by Phil Ek, and produced by Green Apple Quick Step and Martin Feveyear.
Critical reception[edit]
Trouser Press wrote that "Ty Willman is an inoffensively functional vocalist and the lyrics use more big words than Eddie Vedder, but anyone looking for originality or effective musical excitement would do better turning up other rocks."[4]
