The Shamen

Psychedelic rock
Psychedelic rockTechno

The Shamen is a Psychedelic rock and Techno act. Their sound grew out of The Beatmasters, John Martyn, Hardfloor, Love and Syd Barrett. Those roots explain a lot about how The Shamen arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Utah Saints, Adamski, Bomb the Bass, Technotronic and Underworld, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into EMF, Meat Beat Manifesto, Jhelisa and Jesus Jones, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around The Shamen, reaching back through The Beatmasters and forward to EMF.
