Not necessarily. Will Sin had his head screwed on straight for the first
release of "En-Tact" which, if you're lucky enough to find it, hasn't been
raked over by Colin and Mr. C. The remix singles from this first year, 1991
were brilliant as well. The Meat Beat remix of Hyperreal was so damn good
that the group themselves would rather play that live rather than their own
"updated" version.
Will Sin's genius is apparent on his version of "Purple Sky" (on which single,
I can't remember). When Will Sin drowned, all hope for the Shamen drowned
with him.
I asked Colin at a concert if he prefered the original "En-Tact" to the later
release of "En-Tact" (which sucks). "It's fucking brilliant," came the
reply. I got the feeling that Will Sin and Colin didn't always see eye to
eye.
Note: I think I have a spare orginal "En-Tact" *somewhere* if anyone is
interested.
