5.0 out of 5 stars Axis Mutatis alters consciousness, October 22, 2005

Its very strange but the words written by the previous reviewer could have been my own - they perfectly explain how I have always felt about this album.
I started listening to The Shamen shortly after the release of "Entact" and while I feel that all of their albums are jems within the musical landscape Axis Mutatis is in my mind their most powerful and complete musical expression.
Axis Mutatis takes me to mental places that I can't really describe in words. If I tried to describe them I would probably use words like powerful, magical, transcendental, organic, timeless, and mystical. But that's just the thing, one can't really describe such experiences with words - deep mental spaces like the ones opened up by this music seem to lie outside of time, space, and codified language and must be experienced directly.
Those of you with open minds please find this album and listen to it without preconception. I think you will like what you find.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Shaman's Logos, March 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Axis Mutatis (Audio CD)

There is that invisible line between what can be understood and what sounds like neural noise. The level of consciousness determines that. This I believe, is a new musical codice, a new interface to the divine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Live The Dead King, December 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Axis Mutatis (Audio CD)

With what appears to be the demise of what I believe to one of the most important musical markers for our civilization... one of the most under rated and under played artistic combos our world has ever seen... They leave a legacy of amazing recordings to be studied and enjoyed for generations. I strongly recommend the music of the Shamen for its enlightening qualities and entrancing rythms. Every album is like a small vacation from the present.
