'Comin' On', due for release on 25th October '93, is the new Shamen single... It follows the hugely successful recent hits 'L.S.I', Ebenezer Goode', 'Boss Drum' and 'Phorever People'.
It's a pity they didn't put 'Boss Drum' on here, I actually remembered that one. After their remarkable journey from their early psychedelic rock to techno to the almost novelty shock value of 'Ebeneezer Goode', I get the slight feeling that the Shamen ran out of places to go. On closer inspection, that can't literally be true as this is from the same album as that one - and incidentally, four Now albums later, that gives you an idea of how much they mined Boss Drum for hits - but this does seem to fall into the groove of talking about vaguely spiritual-sounding stuff to a sort of dancey beat. Mr C is more irritating than appealing here unfortunately and the whole thing has the air of one single too many from the album.
