Here are some album reviews;

"...the whole effect of his voice with the superb music is hypnotic and begs one to hit the repeat button." melliflua.com

"Hi Shamus, I have to tell you that I think the CD sleeve for SONGS FOR SUICIDAL LOVERS is one of the best of the year. It really had me fooled at first. I then admired it ... and enjoyed it immensely."
Paul Gambaccini

"Pour me another Sam...then play it again..."

If you look at all the related videos, shamus, I think it's fairly easy to understand why a lot of people clicked on this video expecting something a lot different.

[shamusdark]

Well, I guess you're right about that. But when this vid went online about a year ago, I'd never heard of a band or artist called Atmosphere. Anyway, there's no intention to mislead and maybe some people might even dig the vid - a bit like asking a death metal fan to listen to Frank Sinatra I suppose, but it's a strange world.....!

Regards

Shamus

wtf why does it say atmosphere???

[shamusdark]

I'm not sure there's a definitive answer to your question, because the writer of the song, Ian Curtis, is dead. But if you care to listen to the work of Joy Division, you might come to appreciate the title a bit more. The original version is on Youtube - search Joy Division Atmosphere and listen to one of the great bands of the 80's.

Regards, Shamus

yeah, i came here for Sluggo.

i want to mix this.

imagine the beats.

[Darkjoker29]

Your sarcasm made me laugh. Why? Because you ironically used the wrong "your". In order for that sentence to have been correct, it had to be "You're.

Looks like *you're* the smart one, haha =P

[ROUGHANDUNCUT70]

i thought this was going to be slug and ant- atmosphere but im kinda glad i ran into this, pretty cool song

[PureSkill900]

Actually nevermind quite a few people will like this music :p

[PureSkill900]

I advise you to switch the order of the title, put as Shamus Dark - Atmosphere, because lots of people think this is a song by Atmosphere
