The Shamen - You Me Everything Evil Edit

Review by Angelo Frias Neto

You Me Everything Evil Edit by The Shamen – A Wild Ride Through Acid House Chaos Alright, let’s talk about You Me Everything Evil Edit by The Shamen. This little gem dropped in 1989 under Moksha Recordings, and it’s one of those albums that just slaps you across the face with its raw energy. It’s not perfect—it’s messy, unpolished, and kinda chaotic—but that’s exactly why I love it. If you’re into electronic music, especially the acid house and techno vibes, this is a must-listen. First off, can we talk about "Reraptyouare (Evil Edit)"? Oh man, this track hits hard. From the first beat, it feels like someone dumped a bucket of cold water on your head—shocking but refreshing. The bassline wobbles around like it doesn’t care what anyone thinks, and the layers of sound feel like they’re fighting for attention. There’s something hypnotic about how the vocals weave in and out; it’s almost like Angus was trying to tell us a story through broken sentences and half-formed thoughts. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of sweaty clubs, strobe lights flickering, and people losing their minds on the dance floor. You don’t just listen to this track—you experience it. Then there’s "Ed's Bonus Beats." Honestly, this one sticks with me because it’s so damn playful. Evil Ed Richards clearly had fun programming this thing. It’s all over the place, but in the best way possible. The beats bounce around like they’ve got ADHD, and there are these tiny details you only notice after listening five or six times. Like, wait…is that a cowbell? Why does it sound so good here?! It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna grab a friend, shove headphones on their ears, and say, “Just listen to THIS part!” What really gets me is how human the whole album feels despite being so mechanical. Yeah, it’s programmed and remixed to death, but there’s soul in there. Maybe it’s Angus’s lyrics, maybe it’s Kev’s recording touch, or maybe it’s just the vibe of late ‘80s UK—the sense that everything was up for grabs, even music itself. The Shamen weren’t afraid to experiment, and you can hear that freedom bleeding through every second of this record. So yeah, You Me Everything Evil Edit isn’t gonna win any Grammys, and honestly, it probably wasn’t meant to. But it’s real. It’s alive. And if you ever find yourself stuck in a boring playlist rut, throw this on. Let it mess with your brain a little. Who knows? Maybe you’ll end up dancing in your kitchen at 2 AM, wondering how something from 1989 still sounds so fresh. Oh, and here’s a random thought: I bet aliens would totally dig this album. Just saying.

Founded in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1985 by , , & with the band name . The group changed its name to The Shamen in late 1985. Early Alone Again Or and The Shamen material was primarily psychedelic indie rock. The group's first album under the name The Shamen was 1987's "Drop". By 1987, Colin was inspired by M/A/R/R/S and similar new groups that used sampling and beats. As he delved into exploring new technology and dance sounds, the new direction caused the Shamen lineup to shift: Derek McKenzie, unimpressed with the changes, left the fold to return to school in 1987. Colin added energetic new bass player (a.k.a. Will Sinnott) in October 1987 and he himself moved to concentrate on vocals and guitar. At this point, the pieces were in place for the group to become what they would eventually be remembered for: one of the early pioneers of what became known as "indie-dance

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The Shamen's album *You Me Everything Evil Edit* is a hidden gem from the late '80s UK electronic scene. It blends Acid House and Techno with a raw, experimental edge. What makes it unique? The whole thing was remixed and reworked by Evil Ed Richards, who added his own chaotic twist. His "Evil Edit" versions turned the original tracks into something darker and more intense. One standout track, *Reraptyouare (Evil Edit)*, even became a cult favorite among fans of underground electronic music. It’s like hearing the same story retold by someone completely unpredictable—same vibe, totally different energy.

Darn. Anyone know what's the sample here (the kinda arabic instrument-sounding one)? Thanks, it's not on Whosampled (or I can't find it).

Все примочки goa-trance и даже голосовые дисторшены с "заиканиями" - вот одни из первейших электронщиков, которые реально играли goa-trance электронную музыку! А трек то 1989 года и Man With No Name и Astral Projection ещё не начали писать...По крайней мере у Astral'ов я что-тот не слышал вещей 1989 года!!!
The Shamen - пионеры!!!

Glad to see the video up in full, it might not be the best Shamen video but it is better than a shamen video that sits rotting in an archive that nobody can enjoy.

So glad this is up on YT at last! I remember this very same footage from when it was first transmitted. Actually I get the impression Colin here looks a bit like Andy Partridge of XTC.
