| |          "an a-z of rave: second phase to the shamen"          | |
| | this year i'm taking an alphabetical look at early 1990's rave | |
| | music: old skool hardcore and jungle plus cheesy top-40 dance! | |
| :----------------------------------------------------------------: |
| | today's a-z programme started and finished with tunes from new | |
| | york techno legend joey beltram, beginning with 'mentasm' (the | |
| | original hoover anthem!) and followed by another song from the | |
| | same single. dj seduction then followed with a couple of early | |
| | releases from him ...and yet more hoovers! next up were shades | |
| | of rhythm with their classic breakbeat housey track 'the sound | |
| | of eden' with its ever-popular "everytime i see her..." lyrics | |
| | plus a track taken from their 1991 album. then came shaft with | |
| | their fun, cheeky kids teevee rip-off that reached number 7 in | |
| | the top 40 in december of 1991 and then the show closed with a | |
| | set of five tracks from the shamen. the band was formed in '86 | |
| | but achieved major chart success after being joined by mr c in | |
| | '90. the tracks i played included the chart-topping 'ebeneezer | |
| | goode', a collaboration with steve hillage of system 7 (called | |
| | 'scientas') and lastly the beltram mix of 'move any mountain'. | |
