The Shamen were a Scottish electronic/dance group formed in the mid-1980s. They began with psychedelic-pop/new-wave sounds (eg. Drop, 1987) and later became associated with acid house and dance hits such as Move Any Mountain and Ebeneezer Goode.

Formed in Scotland; began as psychedelic/new-wave act and later shifted into electronic dance/acid house. Key albums include Drop (1987), En-Tact (1990) and Boss Drum (1992).

Two DeBaser reviews discuss The Shamen's 1987 album Drop, praising its psychedelic-pop and new wave elements. Both reviewers note electronic drums, foreground bass and Syd Barrett-like influences. The reviews place Drop before the band's later transition to dance/house. Overall the album is recommended for listeners of 1980s psychedelic-tinged pop.

For:Fans of 1980s psychedelic pop, new wave, and early British electronic/dance music.

 Fantastic, let's pretend to be Claudio Sorge or Vittore Barone - I'm better at being Claudio Sorge -

 I recently listened to a track by the Scottish SHAMEN, who blended a low-tier techno-house (in my opinion) achieving moderate success.
