The Shamen - Boss Drum

Boss Drum, The Shamen's 4th album, is a masterpiece of electronic beats and synths. It has the Euro-hits "Boss Drum", "L.S.I.", "Ebeneezer Goode" and "Phorever People." It's a step above 1991's En-Tact in that Boss Drum has less repetitiveness and more hook.

Boss Drum, The Shamen's 4 album, is a masterpiece of electronic beats and synths. It has the Euro-hits "Boss Drum", "L.S.I.", "Ebeneezer Goode" and "Phorever People." It's a step above 1991's En-Tact in that Boss Drum has less repetitiveness and more hook. Whenever I play this cd someone always asks me who it is. After I tell them, and they look at me blankly, they then state that the music is good. This is a must have for any rock collector.Boss Drum, the follow-up album to En-Tact, is more of the same, only less inspired. What made En-Tact great–the ethereal undercurrents behind a hypnotizing groove and poetic raps–was removed from Boss Drum. What is left is good dance music that is a few remixes short of being incredible dance music. The singles "LSI (Love, Sex, Intelligence)," "Ebeneezer Goode," and "Phorever People" all rely more heavily on their rap components and revved-up beats than any other song on Boss Drum, but the album just doesn't have the transcending magical groove of En-Tact to support the harder edge of these songs. Overall, it is a fine techno-rave effort, but to fans of the Shamen's mighty debut rave album, it could be a minor letdown.
