Shamen | Transamazonia | CD

The Shamen is a band formed in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1985 by Colin Angus, Derek McKenzie and Keith McKenzie, under the name Alone Again Or, before taking the name The Shamen later that year. Their early music was psychedelic indie rock, and from 1987 Colin Angus moved the group toward sampling and dance sounds, with Will Sin joining on bass. The band became one of the early pioneers of indie-dance, and in 1989 they released the album In Gorbachev We Trust before relocating to London.

Transamazonia is a 1995 CD single by The Shamen, released on One Little Indian. The Shamen produced it, and Colin Angus and Richard West are credited as writers, with guest vocals from Victoria Wilson-James. LTJ Bukem is credited with arranging, remixing and producing one of the tracks, and the listed styles include techno, drum and bass, progressive trance and house.
