Before The Shamen began making cds in the late '80's, the German band Kraftwerk were already the fathers of electronic music. The Shamen, like others, are heavily influenced by Kraftwerk, and this a GOOD thing. Boss Drum, The Shamen's 4 album, is a masterpiece of electronic beats and synths. It has the Euro-hits "Boss Drum", "L.S.I.", "Ebeneezer Goode" and "Phorever People." It's a step above 1991's En-Tact in that Boss Drum has less repetitiveness and more hook. Whenever I play this cd someone always asks me who it is. After I tell them, and they look at me blankly, they then state that the music is good. This is a must have for any rock collector.

Boss Drum is one of the best Techno-electronika-dance CD albums of the late 80's/early 90's. The title song "Boss Drum" has a beat that you almost can't help dancing too. "L.S.I." and "Ebeneezer Goode" are also outstanding dance music from the height of the Rave era. "Fatman" is probably the only track on the CD I don't care for, but the remainder are all music I like listening too. This CD is frequently in my CD player and I have over 850 CDs at the time I write this.

I used to listen to this CD when I was in high school, sitting in my boyfriend's car with the speakers up. This is a killer CD if you're into synth and rhythm. Just wish I had a good stereo in my car now. I love most of the CD except for the song after Ebenezer Goode. The guy's voice just sounds stupid when he says "Comin' on strong". Most of the songs are killer, definitely not boring like trance.
