Music on Vinyl release of this classic album on 180-grams audiophile vinyl.

Album Notes:

After their first album made the Crash Test Dummies huge in their home country Canada, their second album meant their big break in the USA and Europe, thanks to the self-consciously bizarre lyrics and the deep baritone voice of singer/songwriter Brad Roberts, demonstrated in their worldwide top ten hit “MMM MMM MMM MMM”. 

Other popular singles off the album were “Afternoons & Coffeespoons” and “Swimming in Your Ocean”. ‘God Shuffled His Feet’ was the band’s most commercially successful album reaching Top Album charts in USA (#9), UK (#2) and in different countries in Europe (ironically, after a car accident where Brad Roberts almost lost his arm, Crash Test Dummies made a few other albums but unfortunately limited distribution made these hard to find).

• 180 grams audiophile vinyl

God Shuffled His Feet is the second album by the Crash Test Dummies, released in 1993. It features their most popular single, “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”. The cover art superimposes the band members’ faces over the figures of Titian’s painting Bacchus and Ariadne. It was their most successful album commercially, charting at number 9 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts, as well as number 2 in the UK Albums Chart.

The Crash Test Dummies are a Canadian folk rock/alternative rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, widely known for their 1993 single “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”.

The band is most identifiable through Brad Roberts (vocals, guitar) and his distinctive bass-baritone voice. During its heyday, the band consisted of Roberts, Ellen Reid (co-vocals, keyboards), Brad’s brother Dan Roberts (bass guitar, backing vocals), Benjamin Darvill (harmonica, mandolin), and Mitch Dorge (drums, percussion). Today, only Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid have appeared on every album with the other members being busy pursuing their own projects. However, the full band (minus Ben Darvill) reunited for a show in October 2010. Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid and Stuart Cameron have continued to tour throughout 2010/2011.
