Thanks for this!

One of my fav Shaman tracks from the later period.

Hempton Manor was actually recorded to p*ss off their record company, who by the time this LP was released, they had fallen out with.

The story goes that their label (One Little Indian Records) were reportedly unhappy with the Axis Mutatis LP because it was too experimental sounding and not poppy/commercial enough. Basically they wanted another 'Boss Drum', full of top 10 hits...

I bow down, this song is a masterpiece

[murkredi]

@leroysirius Hell Yeah. Even more interesting is, if you read the initial letters of the tracks, they left a message for the label owner, Derek Birket.

FYI ... 1. "Freya" 2. "Urpflanze" 3. "Cannabeo" 4. "Khat" 5. "Bememe" 6. "Indica" 7. "Rausch"  8. "Kava" 9. "El-Fin" 10. "The Monoriff"

01:27 that descending bass line is spot on. How did they go this?

@mike54m

Try Boss Drum album and Destination Eschaton LP ;)

[ccaviedes]

Wow, the Shamen were so musically talented. They should have done even more instrumental stuff I realize now. Ahead of their time, visionary and bold - gotta love it.

[zodram]

apparently the whole album made in less than a week.... thats a lot of pot.. :-p

[mike54m]

Can anyone recommend me other Shamen tracks like this? I always loved this track. I have only Hempton Manor and Axis Mutatis album...
