I'm not too impressed with the second CD with the suspect remixes , the first CD however is brilliant . They were not just a dance group the Shamen , they have some good rock style songs in this album , and in some of the songs the lyrics really are good thought provoking messages and themes . This is a best of album with all their greats and some songs I had never heard of , but turned out to be better than their better known songs . A must have for fans of Ebeneezer Goode etc and fans of the Old School dance scene . Great price also ; considering it's a best of and it's on two CD's .

Im sure most people around my age can remember "The Shamen" from such classics like "Move any Mountain" and "Ebenezer Goode". The shamen had their unique style that you just ended up singing along to even if you didnt really like their music :)
This cd has all their tracks which includes "LSI, Phorever People, Boss Drum and their first hit Hyperreal".
What sets this apart from just being an old classic is the second cd which boasts remixes of their songs in the form of "Alternative, House, Acid and Drum & Bass mixes by famous DJs. If you love the Shamen then this really should be in your collection by now.

A "best of" album that does not include any tracks from their two earlier albums is not really a "best of". This release serves its purpose for those that discovered the Shamen when "Ebeneezer Goode" and "Boss Drum" were relaeased and gained chart success. But for those of us who remember The Shamen from the late 80's with such glorious albums as "In Gorbachev We Trust" and "Phorward" as opposed to the commerical Shamen stuff shorn of its hardcore edge this "Best Of" is to be avoided.
Its only saving grace is the inclusion of the superb Omega Amigo, but as I said, where are the real Shamen classics ? "Synergy" "Reraptyouare" "Jesus Loves Amerika" and the astonishing "Transcendental".
This is a disappointing album.

Uplifting, happy, fun. Great if you like being happy.
I hope that you appreciate my rhetoric there.
If you need a bit of energy while you work, play or reproduce (which I'm given to understand is a mix of both), this is great. Read more
