I know... their old stuff is really "lame" (as you call it)... no wonder that they had to try something different.

hmmmm... I don't know... everybody can change.... and develop... so that lame "Drop" album is ok for me... just as Underworld was a rock-pop band once.... unfortunately THE SHAMEN went the wrong way. I still think that "En-Tact" is a good album and "Progen" is a great Rave-Song.... they lost me with their "Boss Drum" CD.

keep "progen"! It's a classic!

no... now you are going to far.... Milli Vanilli were fakes as we all know and THE SHAMEN sang themselfs and they were cool life. I saw them in 1990 and it was a good live act. take care, harald +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | visions and sounds from the wicked world of electronic dance music | | WWW -> http://rave.city.de/wicked | | a servive of http://www.music.city.de and Touch-Net | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
