Nineties Revisited: LSI


Original video located here. Accessed 1st June 2016

Song title: LSI (Love Sex Intelligence)

Artist: Shamen

Year: 1992

Why I like this song:

I heard En-Tact so I may as well go for the follow-up album Boss Drum. 

I already knew the above song and it still sounds great years later. Yes it, much it's brother album, is a product of it's time but it is still a gem of house music. 
"C'mon!"

Explorations: Hyperreal


Original video located here. Accessed 23rd May 2016

Song title: Hyperreal (Orbit mix)

Artist: Shamen

Year: 1990

Why I like this song:

Recently I got a copy of the Shamen's En-Tact album.

I already knew of the Shamen through the big hits Move Any Mountain and Ebenezer Goode so it's interesting to hear what else they had to say for themselves. 
It is particularly fascinating to hear En-Tact now as it's emblematic of that era of early nineties. If anyone wanted to know what house music was like back then, then all they need to do was listen to this. And this was guided by the hands of producer William Orbit and his touch is as sure as ever.
