The Shamen - Strange Day Dreams

Review by Eric Palacios

The album Strange Day Dreams by Shamen is a masterpiece that showcases the band's versatility and creativity. The album features a unique blend of electronic and rock music, which creates a hypnotic and surreal listening experience.

The album opens with the track "Destination Eschaton," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ethereal soundscapes and driving beats. The songs that follow are equally mesmerizing, with each track taking the listener on a journey through strange and dreamlike landscapes.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ebeneezer Goode," which became a massive hit in the UK upon its release. The song's catchy chorus and infectious beat make it a perfect dancefloor anthem, while its playful lyrics add a touch of humor to the album.

About The Shamen

last ned album The Shamen - Strange Day Dreams

Founded in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1985 by , , & with the band name . The group changed its name to The Shamen in late 1985. Early Alone Again Or and The Shamen material was primarily psychedelic indie rock. The group's first album under the name The Shamen was 1987's "Drop". By 1987, Colin was inspired by M/A/R/R/S and similar new groups that used sampling and beats. As he delved into exploring new technology and dance sounds, the new direction caused the Shamen lineup to shift: Derek McKenzie, unimpressed with the changes, left the fold to return to school in 1987. Colin added energetic new bass player (a.k.a. Will Sinnott) in October 1987 and he himself moved to concentrate on vocals and guitar. At this point, the pieces were in place for the group to become what they would eventually be remembered for: one of the early pioneers of what became known as "indie-dance

1987. There is a complete upload by the makers of the video Toad Hall Studios.

I believe he was actually a Tory MP. Bought this when it came out and loved it.. being 30 years older now I can see it's a dizzying psychedelic pop record where the available technology was used to maximum effect and it achieved all it set out to do. it's a pretty much unique record from that era. Nobody was on it. The Shamen were.

This vid's from about 1988 or 89. Christopher Mayhew was a Labour Party Member of Parliament who took mescaline as an experiement to see its effects (back in the days when society was a little more open minded about some drugs). He is sampled saying, ''And there's no absolute time, no absolute space, this is just what we experience, on the outside world.'' He said he thought the trip went on for ''years and years''. This was before the UK made mescaline illegal in 1968 .
