The little known "bonus" that outshines the "real" material. I don't have many CDs these days, but the original issue of Axis Mutatis with is piece of genius attached is one of them. Absolute gold.
It is a little known fact that this is the ACTUAL ORIGINAL version of the Axis Mutatis album that was delivered to One Little Indian to follow up the Boss Drum album. It was rejected by Derek Birkett ay OLI & they were told to go away & do a comercial version of it. That is why Axis Mutatis is quite mixed. By the way...I used to manage the Beatmasters!
Drageslukeren I think it was probably that OLI had kind of given up on them by then, and the feeling was mutual (as you may know, the first letter of each track spells out F.U.C.K.B.I.R.K.E.T. 😂)
I did not know that. So what was the deal with 'Different Drum'? Was that what the guys wanted to do, but OLI wouldn't let them at the time so 'Boss Drum' was the result? Or did Colin decide to take the band in a different direction after BD?
thats interesting AAHQ - I must say 'tho that actually listening to this version of arbor bona arbor mala is a tad like listening to a dodgy tape recording of the actual arbor bona arbor mala by the shamen.....
Beatmasters, Coldcut and Mark Moore really broke and delivered dance into the commercial area in the UK. Obviously Coldcut "evolved" and are still delivering. So what happened to The Beatmasters?? (And have you got Bettys number? Damn that girl is still so cute :) )
This must be one of the greatest ambient pieces of all time. Musically brilliant, spiritually uplifting, intelligent, wisel full of love, I could go on and on forever. Thanks for posting.. One wonders what ever became of Angus. Anyone know?
I used to buy albums based off their cover art and an initial listen. For trance CDs, I figured that an intricately designed cover matched the music. This is how I ended up with Arbor Bona Arbor Mala. In a meditation, this music makes you travel.
The first track is actually sampled from Destination Eschaton (Destination Nemeton Original Version), pretty hard to find that version of the track online
how did I miss this one? thought I d heard all Shamen - still its good to know that the Shrooms were good as well as the ezz, better late than nev.......good find, great upload!
To this day I'm still pissed off that I lost my ambient CD from the double set! The cassette recording I made is some small consolation, but thank heavens for youtube and thanks for posting, 2trancentral
I remember when this album came out and I assumed it would not be good. But I thought I'd check it out 25+ years after the fact and it's mint! A nice little time capsule.
This is rather nice. As a kid in the 90s I thought this ambient stuff was a bit crap until I accidentally bought Different Drum and fell asleep with it playing one night.
-Roaster McDdoug..... Mine was a 2CD boxset too...Perhaps a `ltd` edit...OR (.....) this here is only HALF of IT!!???? Early 90s |Glastonbury,small field,!st ever `proper Laser shows` by -who else,above!- Threw my Acid right into hyperdrive!! Oooooooooooooooooh yes, my Raison d`be here.. No-ones mentioned that this WAS a`Concept album` (remember them!?) with Mr.Shamen got heavily into Organics ANS Computers and mapped-into-music the human `CGAT` code markers and `translated` that into musical notation.....many computer I guess -then at it awhile! So, THIS + Artistic License =Arbor B.Arbor M...`Tree of Life/Tree of death` to the best of my knowledge......?????? In what language I never discovered... Not gGreek or Latin as would think..(Its been long time since I looked anythin g SO up!!) For the chill-out, this and The Orb......there`s NEVER Been a single REASON for anyone else to record any. Well, Mike Oldfield can do Exactly what HE LIKES!! But no more mm???! Scary how time fly..
I remember going to buy axis mutasis and being confused as I thought it was a double album .turns out it was ! ...all these years later and I get to hear it finally .beautiful . do wish I'd it had back in the day ..great times 😊
Shamen's Chill Out, indeed. Transamazonia lost in my mind. Love this album so much. If anyone is curious what CGA has been up to in recent years, see Pablo Sandoz x Indidginus on our channel.
not sure which tracks they are but from 9mins-17mins and from 25:20 to 33:40 Xochipili's Return, I think, I was Ayahuascan sailing the cosmos with Jah Wobble on bass, this whole album is mint
I bought this on tape when it was released, and it still blows me away today!! Could Demeter, the goddess of harvest (I think) also be a code for DMT? The way-outness of this piece certainly makes me think it is such....
9. A Moment in Dub - 9:2010. Pizarro in Paradise - 6:0211. West of the Underworld - 10:1412. Anticipation Eschaton (Be Ready for the Storm) - 4:4313. Out in the Styx - 3:08WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO ALSO HAVE AND BE ABLE TO POST TRACKS 9-13 ? Sorry , caps lock . Got too excited . Great post . Thanks !
You're right , the vibe does change . But no , I can't find them anywhere on the web - and I'm pretty adept at finding things lol . Thanks for the lighting quick response -something I always greatly appreciate . Hope you change your mind though ... my CD's are in another state . I just want to nab the complete Arbor Bona Arbor Mala . You're my only hope , Obi Wan Kenobi ( paraphrase ).
I used to love these guys and played them on my radio show in the 90s regularly, some of the best stuff of the 90s along with the Orb and future sound of london. the whole axis mutatis album rules.. btw the best electronic now is bassnectar
Gelgerson, dancing to the Shamen got me through so many hard times. Move Any mountain was my mantra. I was a single parent, suffering, in Appalachia and all I had was that cassette tape. Eventually, I went to medical school. I am a psychiatrist now and cannot wait until the time when I can facilitate healing using psychedelics legally. It wasn't until years later that I heard that they were talking about Ayahuasca. It makes me wonder if "seeds" weren't planted all those years ago. when I finished my training, said to my daughter, "I could not have made it without you thank you." She asked for me to take she and her friend to Atlanta to see Skrillix. We loved Bassnectar too and started traveling around to see him. It is how I recovered my soul after medical school Dubstep led me to drum and bass, back to my beloved Shamen. Incredible journey. Now I just need a partner who shares my love for this music.
Teresa Cone hope you find your love. This music is for rare people. We are many, but scattered, together in thought we can move any mountain. Much love
@@teresacone7863 Our spirits are so much more connected than people realize. It is true that only through psychedelics can you achieve this sacred knowledge. I owe my spiritual consciousness to Colin- The Shamen truly are my shaman - the nature of the universe can truly only be understood through music and visual mediums. Psilocybin is one of the ways which our minds’ neural pathways open up communication with each other previously disconnected. I hope you find what you are searching for - we are out there.

This isn’t the first time DNA sequences have been translated into music. In 1995, for example, the British band The Shamen collaborated with Ross King to produce a track called S2 Translation, which is based on the coding sequence for the 5HT-S2 receptor. The track was generated in a way that sounds similar to Takahashi’s and Miller’s method:
I bought the double CD when it was released and I've probably played axis mutatis a handful of times - I much prefer this. I actually have 2 copies of the double cd as I lost my original and bought another, then found the original.
How come there is 71 min version and a 39min version on youtube? Yeah am aware it was a double album but that’s not the answer as they had different titles
When this came out back in '95 I wouldn't have touched it will a barge poll. Well, it's 2022 and I recently bought the 2CD LTD Edition for a £1, why not eh! Give it a go. A lot of the actual album (CD1) has in my opinion dated quite badly, however that's not to say that it's complete crap, it's alright (I need more time with it). The bonus disc (CD2) is pretty good and I foresee myself listening to this more tbh. I'll give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️✩✩. Feeling generous.
Whoever holds the rights to the album, so the band itself, or the record label. Never heard anyone calling Shamen or One Little Indian savages lol funny
I remember this wasn’t very well received by certain music critics, I happen to think its rather good, not there best but certainly better than a lot of the shite chart wannabes jumping on the band wagon for a quick buck , some nice ethereal melodies in here !

Ive always loved the first track, wish it was longer.
The first track is actually sampled from Destination Eschaton (Destination Nemeton Original Version), pretty hard to find that version of the track online
when I bought this double album I listened to the main album once then this one for ever more...Brilliant
Same here!
DJ KRPT they were always so contrasting. I loved the sound design but never the vocal laden euro dance stuff.
Yep, and me too, still really love it
It was like buying a cheese sandwich and finding a fantastic gourmet meal in the box under it!
Imagine the joy we felt of getting this bonus chilled masterpiece. It became my meditation & inspiration to travel to the amazon. Pure love
how did I miss this one? thought I d heard all Shamen - still its good to know that the Shrooms were good as well as the ezz, better late than nev.......good find, great upload!
This sounds even nicer twenty years later... it's a classic, although I surely didn't know it would be at the time of first hearing.
To this day I'm still pissed off that I lost my ambient CD from the double set! The cassette recording I made is some small consolation, but thank heavens for youtube and thanks for posting, 2trancentral
Come to think of it, I also have the vinyl release of this :)
I remember when this album came out and I assumed it would not be good. But I thought I'd check it out 25+ years after the fact and it's mint! A nice little time capsule.
Thank you so much. For the life of me I couldn't remember the name of this band or album and finding it was a joy :)
The best music of The Shamen
Thanks for the memory. Good to hear this again.
Enjoyed, no matter where in time. circa 2019.

22 years and still 'aving it! Memories of LSD and E come downs ☺️
how this masterpiece slipped by the world is one of the great musical mysteries. Stunning
One of my very favourite double disc purchases... Prefer to use my headphones for this one 😉👌 ❤️ 🎧

truth be told I played this much more than mutatis.
Soooo good on a Sunday morning ❤️
This is a journey into the sound!!! Magnificent...
Beautiful Masterpiece i love it
Shamen's Chill Out, indeed. Transamazonia lost in my mind.
Love this album so much.

I love the first 42 seconds of this album.

such a beautiful album
Kraftwerk on mushrooms
Wow, it is really good
10.1.2022 The Best Part Of This Album Its From7:45 To 17:10
it had me on the Ayahuasca odyssey through the Amazon then off-world to Orion's Belt
I bought this on tape when it was released, and it still blows me away today!!
Could Demeter, the goddess of harvest (I think) also be a code for DMT? The way-outness of this piece certainly makes me think it is such....
Definitely

very awesome thanks for sharing that.

Ayahuascan sailing the cosmos
Ensoniq Mirage starts at 17:23? Beauty!
Had this double CD set. AB AM was my go-to music when I needed to cram at university.
Ahead of Time..Ambient was born here I do suppose and surely did happen in Britain
Ambient was born many many years before 1995!
Masterpiece
memories..
According to Google Translate, "abor bona arbor mala" can detect this as Bengali language into English as "Again woven big garland".
stunning

That track is part of this album, this is the shame and it's their track
fantastic sounds!
CLASS CLASS CLASS
I bought the double CD when it was released and I've probably played axis mutatis a handful of times - I much prefer this. I actually have 2 copies of the double cd as I lost my original and bought another, then found the original.
Magic happens 21.30
Thank you Shamen, for this wonderful piece of mind-expanding ambient.
P.S. 17:20 Anyone know De Meter of this song?
I'm guessing 5/8?
Amazing!!!
A masterpiece.
nothing but LOVE
very nice!
This album is great
Gold
a beautiful magic! The Shamen's chedoeuvre!
How come there is 71 min version and a 39min version on youtube? Yeah am aware it was a double album but that’s not the answer as they had different titles
I uploaded only 39 mins because the vibe completely changes after that, and this sounds more as a whole.
@@2trancentral yeah man get ya
Hey thanks magiccatbus. Will check it out.

What kind of savage puts adverts through this masterpiece?
Whoever holds the rights to the album, so the band itself, or the record label. Never heard anyone calling Shamen or One Little Indian savages lol funny
The band shamen only really starts now. Boss drum sold 100 million copies in 2020. Why? They have god ebeneezer!!! Rian🌈 . . . . . .
The early albums have some great groundbreaking stuff...
cga
5/8 meter.

I remember this wasn’t very well received by certain music critics, I happen to think its rather good, not there best but certainly better than a lot of the shite chart wannabes jumping on the band wagon for a quick buck , some nice ethereal melodies in here !
