The Shamen

The Shamen was a Scottish electronic music group active mainly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Known for their innovative blend of techno, house, and psychedelic sounds, they gained international fame with hits like "Move Any Mountain" and "Ebony and Ivory" (a collaboration with Prince). Their music often featured repetitive, hypnotic beats and was influential in popularizing rave culture and electronic dance music. The group also embraced themes of spirituality and consciousness, sometimes reflecting their interest in mysticism and the use of technology for transformative experiences.
