Thought other members might enjoy this blast from the past (unless everyone already uses it?) - Shamen screensaver featuring artwork by William Latham

My dad picked it up off some magazine cd I think and the zip is still available online. At one point we got a virus and I think we found the screensaver to be the culprit - not sure if this was true. The forest scene was what we had as our background for Window95 and I remember my dad being particularly fond of it so that he also used it a backdrop for the homemade laminated enscription on my grandparents grave!

William Latham has interesting background ( http://latham-mutator.com/ )

Shamen and early nineties takes me back to this, though the screen saver looks quite nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfQ98A-6mG8

Early nineties I was having some fun at techno clubs on the weekends. If I did that nowadays I would probably get carried off on a stretcher by the end of the night.

Wow, how weird; I was literally just thinking of this the other day and did a screen capture of it on my own channel:

I always see "Move Any Mountain" come up when Shamen come up in the conversation, but never "Phorever People". That's a crime IMO!

Listening to The Shamen and watching Reservoir Dogs. That was my 1992.

Is this too much voodoo?

Well at least it wasn't "eezer good eezer good!" 😁
I was watching the video to "christopher mayhew" a few months back.
I do have fondness for this kind of grebo rockin'raver thing - Shamen, pop will eat itself, babylon zoo, prodigy and all the proggy big beat stuff that followed.
Shame that Williams website moves as fast as a freshly mutated slug trying to get to grips with itself. 🙄

I manage a pot-pourri of video matter...
