In the mid and late 1990s Nemeton was the on-line home of The Shamen. During the Website's active years it saw many Internet firsts, from the first on-line album and single releases to Webcasts and interactive interviews. The site disappeared in 2001 due to a server crash/hack, however, a complete back-up of the site was recently discovered and Nemeton has now been restored to its original 1999 state. In addition to Nemeton, other Sean Clark/Cuttlefish sites from the era are also being uploaded as 'historical documents'.

This was a genuinely innovative piece of work. The 'Web Mix' of the Shamen's Axis Mutatis album came complete with song lyrics, background information, sound samples and extra artwork. It was the first album to have a Web 'release' in this way and was covered widely in the press.

'Birmingham Frequencies' was an audiovisual event that took place in October 1997 in Birmingham's Rotunda. It was a collaboration between musicians The Higher Intelligence Agency and Biosphere with various visual artists. The resulting album release featured a CD-ROM based on the event.

Computer artist William Latham was responsible for the Shamen's Axis Mutatis album artwork and various single covers and video graphics. This Web site was produced for his then newly-formed company 'Computer Artworks'. At the time the company was working on a new computer game called Evolva and had just released 'Organic Art'.

This is the original and 'classic' Nemeton from 1999. The site had been live for about four years and the content was fairly extensive with details of live events, on-line releases, and so on. 'Lord Hempton' makes a brief appearence - the idea was to create a 'bot' that could talk about Shamen-related topics! Maybe one-day.

In 1995 and 1996 Sean Clark wrote extensively for the UK Internet press. In particular, he wrote a number of articles about Nemeton, William Latham and other Web site projects he was involved in. Some of the original articles have be found and uploaded here together with magazine cover scans.

'WobblyWeb' was created for electronic dub pioneers Zion Train in 1997 to support their album 'Grow Together'. The site was as eclectic as the band themselves with bizarre facts, obscure web links and dancing 'wobblyseeds'. WobblyWeb still exists to this day (as do Zion Train), but it is now strictly dub oriented!
