Axis Mutatis

Amazon.com
The Shamen have gone through many incarnations since their start in the mid-'80s, progressing from moody, Echo and the Bunnymen-style post-punks to acid house pioneers. But it's been a long time since their groundbreaking 1989 hit, "Move Any Mountain," and their last album, Boss Drum, was notable only for a guest appearance by Terence McKenna, the Timothy Leary of the '90s. Axis Mutatis is run-of-the-mill techno with no such diversions, though guest vocalist Victoria Wilson James tries hard to inject a little life into the single, "Destination Eschaton." --Jim DeRogatis

Axis Mutatis alters consciousness.......2005-10-22

Its very strange but the words written by the previous reviewer could have been my own - they perfectly explain how I have always felt about this album.
I started listening to The Shamen shortly after the release of "Entact" and while I feel that all of their albums are jems within the musical landscape Axis Mutatis is in my mind their most powerful and complete musical expression.
Axis Mutatis takes me to mental places that I can't really describe in words. If I tried to describe them I would probably use words like powerful, magical, transcendental, organic, timeless, and mystical. But that's just the thing, one can't really describe such experiences with words - deep mental spaces like the ones opened up by this music seem to lie outside of time, space, and codified language and must be experienced directly.
Those of you with open minds please find this album and listen to it without preconception. I think you will like what you find.

The best Shamen Album.......2004-04-20

This album has the ability to transform your consciousness if you the ability to hear it for what it is. It's not going to open up to you on the level of most of their other work. It's deeply mysterious, mathematicall organic, gaiian, timeless, and far-reaching. I can't listen to this album without being reminded of deep connections between the seen and unseen world, time and space. Life in this moment.

The Shaman's Logos.......2004-03-09

There is that invisible line between what can be understood and what sounds like neural noise. The level of consciousness determines that. This I believe, is a new musical codice, a new interface to the divine.

Mystery.......2003-07-29

More than music
Beneath the beat
Words that can connect
With the divine
If you but listen

Now this seems to be a bit of a cult album among some Shamen fans - they see it as a perfect antidote to the Ebeneezer Goode anthem that tortured the charts for a long time . Personally I find this antidote a bit hard to swallow . A couple of the pop tracks are a bit bland and tasteless , the more experimental tracks are even more varied in terms of how good or bad they are . Some are pretty dark and trippy but the others just verge on the brink of completely out there , a bit too much for my liking ( and I have to admit that is something of an achievement ). The second CD follows in a similar vein . Explore by all means but if you don't like it I can understand you as I'm not sure about it either
