The irony about KS being underrated and out of the mainstream now, is that this album was the one that Crispian was convinced was going to make them the greatest band of all time. He thought they'd be playing at the Pyramids on the last day of 1999, instead he ended up quitting the band. But I still loved them back in the day.
Lol i moved house a few weeks back and found my "Attack of the grey latern" album. It's still proper good listened to it a fair few times when at work in me van. Aaahh bring back the 90's :P
I think Kula Shaker is proof that excessive musical talent does not automatically bring commercial success. Even so, I'm surprised they slipped under the radar. They're rather amazing.
People dont know appreciate their music, I dont know why, this is one of the best bands in the world for me. This big hit should have more views.Mystical machine gun is really mystical! Love Kula Shaker 4ever
i think what he means in the mystical machine gun is the coming of Lord Kalki in the last days of the world that will annihilate all the materialists hehe just a conclusion correct me if I'm wrong .
Reading through the comments makes me glad Kula Shaker are on the underrated side. It seems like the kiss of death to musical creativity when you get propelled into the mainstream neigh slipstream.
The Pumpkins imploded because people realised that despite their good music, Corgin was a self absorbed egotist, whom had kind of found fame quite by accident. It's like a bad manager at work, who heads up a dept of 3 people, and the dept succeeds depsite the manager, but the manager gets all the accolades. It's a pity, I like the pumpins music too :(.
I'm Indian, and I got into Kula Shaker when I was around 8 any my brother brought home "Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts". I was pretty intrigued by them because they sang a lot about Indian culture and mysticism (Govinda, Tattva, Sleeping Jiva) + their music was influenced by Pink Floyd, Deep Purple etc (which I had also recently discovered at that tender age)
Btw, asxtc, Uptown Top Ranking is an awesome song!
@Snibo ... Seriously every song? Either I'm reading this out of context because I cant be bothered reading the OP or something really strange has happened.
its defenitely psychedelic but wouldnt say pink floyd..i actually havent heard any bands that quite sound like Kula Shaker..you know its them. their music is abit more aggressive. but definately got roots in pink floyd and others.
Terrific stuff, but this is actually the single version (and the best version) - the album version is different, and there is also a third version of this track on their 'Kollected' best of compilation.
The bass is so heavy in this!
