Kula Shaker - Hollow Man (Parts 1 and 2)

[@bobbyshaftoe409]

I'm a massive Kula Shaker fan and never realised until recently how good this song actually is...wow ! ! it's brilliant and I had the privilege of hearing it "live" at Liverpool O2 (14th Dec "2016)...what an amazing gig that was !!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!

[@heatsave1986]

Genius of a tune Remember the hot summer when K ruled the charts

[@tarae.m.9109]

Saw them in concert in Belfast over 20 years ago. Still know all the words. This song is sublime. 👌🏻

[@serioussoap3063]

Watched them live in 95 (or was it ‘96) at Glastonbury on the second stage. They sing like angels on my shoulder ever encouraging and bringing love and wisdom. Thanks Crispin! Surely the greatest rock album of the decade.

[@kerrydolan9873]

Must’ve been 1997 because they definitely didn’t play in 1995 and in 1996 there was no Glastonbury but they definitely played there in 1997

[@bobbyshaftoe409]

What an amazing song.If you have friends who haven't heard this you'd better tell them about it,they're missing one of the best pieces of music ever written (by a truly wonderful band!)

[@Cybertrophoric]

This song has a special place in my heart. I was born on Holloman AFB. The gateway to Area 51. I’ve loved this song sing I was a teenager.

[@bokhorstp]

I always get melancholic when I hear this song - and I don't know why. It's a pure classic

[@Djdjduhehshehhrh]

100% same. Kinda why i come here occasionally to listen to it whem in my thoughts. I think the melancholy comes from the fact this reminds me of being a kid and time has flown so fast since. Just saw my comment from 3 years ago too that i forgot i wrote.

[@bokhorstp]

@@Djdjduhehshehhrh that perfectly describes it, thanks!

[@bobbyshaftoe409]

Kula Shaker are a great band.I was fortunate enough to see them live recently in Holmfirth. FANTASTIC GIG!!

[@stefanofirpo161]

Masterpiece.

[@niallpurcel2003]

+stefano firpo So good

[@Particulations]

This is my favourite Kula Shaker track. I can't even tell you, objectively, why. It is a puerly aesthetic response: it is uplifting, beautiful, and inspiring - it also takes me back to the 90s when I was 'in love' with Brit Pop/Indie, especially Kula Shaker. So, I guess this is partly nostalgic. Hey ho...

[@engineere2865]

Beautiful. Takes me back to '97

[@happentodie]

this album is a lost and forgotten masterpiece... its a damn shame.

[@Djdjduhehshehhrh]

Not lost on me 🤘

[@misteronesongaday7809]

Great Album. And after all these are probably the best lyrics ever written to a reprise song. Love Kula Shaker. Greetz from a German geezer.

[@DRUMMERxGURU]

the best part after the music is the album cover!! actualy look at it!.This is my ulto 90's album!!! top notch man

[@happentodie]

man ,you are sooo right, i used to get hammered to this album !!! im still a fucking mess to this day!!

[@108DarylTravelsTheWorld]

not forgotten...to those of us in the know ;)

[@andyh444]

Best track on the album, simple. Good album at that!

[@andyh444]

To add to this, one of the finest pieces of music is the three note key change at 2:25 . Sublime,

[@thebattleroyale]

This is awesome, I love Kula Shaker!

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

I was enjoying it at my favorite coffeeshop, then they got to "Govinda". I had to ask to see the album cover when I heard that track, because I already knew I wanted to buy it.

[@andyh444]

I agree with other posters. A truly great album, and this is one of the stand out tracks. The key change at 2:25 is one of the best you will ever hear, cherish it!

[@Djdjduhehshehhrh]

Got this album on casette many years ago as a kid. Loved them then...still here listening in 2019. Not on my casette player anymore though.

[@BS1965able]

this band blow fucking oasis out the planet in my opinion

[@PBL187]

What a great tune to end an awesome album on!

[@MoonEd1969]

A TRUE MASTERPIECE

[@ricknblack]

brilliant album,and one of the best live bands ive seen,i mean top drawer,up there but not quite the stranglers,sneeky pete and the buzzcocks but in great company and this song is epic

[@9t9t3]

What a fucking band, K is up there with Radioheads' OK Computer in my favorite albums. How they were never gained huge mainstream success I will never know.

[@serioussoap3063]

Anti establishment, too much like real liberation and integrity to be sellout corporate rock monsters

[@freethis222]

Also, I believe there was some controversy about using swastikas. They were meant in a hindu context, but were of course not percieved that way.

[@MrLittleimp]

I love kula shaker!

[@Carlguitar69]

Superb. Masterful.

[@NastyaGB]

No-one Seems To Realise There Is A Secret Track hidden after "Hollow Man" is a recording of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, speaking about his own guru. Strange, Right?

[@solskjaerutd]

Happiness is a cigar called Kula Shaker!

[@RitaHodkin]

Thankyou for this wisdom.

[@markmclaughlan5964]

Brilliant when the lyrics start.

[@jayp631]

Great album, in my top 5. There's a hidden bit right at the end of this tune after about 5 minutes of silence...

[@JLewis237420]

I'm writing a essay on this song for college class - English 102 - This song is one of the best songs ever made.

[@carljeffries3656]

I was 22 my gf was 16 as mad as it sounds but her dad had the album I played it on the the system at the time loved it and we loved eachother attl the time she was rich I was poor lol, good times

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

To those who keep asking why Kula Shaker didn’t become huge....Crispian Mills is a huge lover of Hindu art and commented that he thought the original swastika - NOT the Nazi one, was beautiful. The NME did a hit piece and painted him as a white supremacist and they got dropped from everything. How fucking stupid is that, to unperson a great band for a few journalist points.

[@Rilnator]

so long since I heard this

[@VanirTraditionalist]

Song of the psychopomp. Brilliant.

[@ranexil]

god is great

[@JLewis237420]

by the way the silence is not a mistake it was put into the song by Crispian Mills, it is suspose to be there.

[@morbels]

This album wil survive eras to come

[@StacyAlexander]

One of my favorites.

[@ldodge7249]

GORGEOUS💞

[@wallybazoom2541]

Fucking brilliant album with lots of. Memories..

[@jesuscomplex]

@TheLimabean45 on the second album you had to rewind the precount of the last song as it was layered underneath very well hidden

[@BAKERBEAN]

Kev from Bedford/Brighton? R.I.P....blessings to Paula and family xx

[@happentodie]

believe it not so did i mate!! i just went too far and damaged myself irreparably,im like a recovering alcoholic now ,i cant touch drink or grugs ,(well maybe a little smoke now n then :)

[@kazoojubilee]

The Silence at The end Leads To a Hidden Track ( "MICHAEL TOLD ME THAT NOW IS TIME FOR PROPER CHANGE" )

[@bobbystatom2880]

Actually it's "My guru told me the time had come for my shift change".

[@robotariancod3]

These guys had to go big, like the Floyd, Zeppelin sabbath etc.

[@Noodles37UK]

+soundass wave They split fast, just like the Small Faces. Sometimes i think this final song on the lp is the best out an amazing album. Remember '96 like it was yesterday.

[@graemehodges4367]

+Noodles37UK I was (and still am) a fan of fifties, sixties and some early seventies music, and avoided 'modern' music all my life. In 1997 I was working part-time out of college as a contract gardener in London and got paired with a lad I actually went to school with fifteen years previously. On the road to the job he put this album on in the van and at first I thought it was a late sixties recording I'd not come across. I was stunned to discover it was current, and went out and bought it the following weekend. It formed the soundtrack to a college field trip a month later, and to this day it reminds me of those far-off happy days.

[@Noodles37UK]

An old friend who was a music NUT gave me a C60 tape of it in '96. Just had to buy the CD. After that he mailed me Peasants on a tape, in '99. Patchy but brilliant must have. Don't care about press bigotry against this middle classed band. Yeah today's mainstream is utter s***. Jesus.How bad can it get. But check out The Brian Jonestown Massacre. There, hope should be restored. Graeme Hodges

[@Jorg-ug3ie]

That is a very bold thing to proclaim, and I can only say ....I agree!

[@thampex]

class album, i remember buying it on the day it came out in hmv, brings back alot of memories, btw his dad is john mills, me thinks.

[@thirdeye147]

Yeah guy Haley Mills's son

[@mcspeel]

PLEASENT!!!

[@Emmamoo]

Here here. I'm doing exactly that with my 4 year old. So far he's into everything but chav music - RESULT!

[@BS1965able]

my funeral song

[@Pallie25]

I had this album playing in my car while Uber driving some years ago. I often picked up stoned people (weed is legal in Colorado) and I thought they'd get into it. This girl I picked up really got into it and finally said OK, what radio station is this? When I told her it was from my own collection and not the radio, she got out in a huff and called me a poopy head.

[@Absolemism]

The ending is not a mistake and is not enough long ..on the LP , there is 13 mn of silence after the track...let's say there are 9 mn that lack here ^^

[@corianderolive]

@tel890 hahahah I usually disagree to that, but since it's Kula Shaker we're speaking of here, yes to parental pressure!

[@walks1000]

Actually thampex John Mills was Crispians grandfather, his mother is Hayley Mills...

[@audreylaws2335]

I need a Big old hairy moustache.❤❤❤

[@BggProductions]

Massive Steve Hillage influence on this album, but that's still cool :)

[@TheFpCassini]

King Crimson I talk to the wind

[@mcspeel]

PLEASENT...

[@joejones7911]

Well if your feeling hollow man just throw the stone and shatter your reflection.

[@MrJohnnybjohnson]

Where's the end?

[@brkaytb]

I suppose you made this video with windows movie maker! That silence at the end is because that file probably isn't mp3!!! Respect for the song, great band!!!!!

[@pocholopagcaliwagan2376]

Govinda, Smart Dogs and Knight On The Town

[@kristoffmcewan]

did you write a essay about Bob Dylan or the Kula'S??

[@seasonedsevencolors]

@tel890 ha ha..If i ever have kids they will be forced to listen to this album so that it never dies!!!! LOL!!

[@alfaalfa3620]

Saw them in Jakarta years a go.. at least this band is a "must watch band" before u dead 😆😆

[@LOL25HH]

this reminds me of Radioheads Faust arp

[@JamieCuthbert-k5z]
