Shamen, The

Shamen, The – British psychedelic-influenced electronic music group popular with dance/rave culture in Great Britain during the early to mid-1990s. The album Boss Drum released in 1992 featured a spoken-word collaboration with Terence McKenna entitled “Re:Evolution.” The controversial hit “Ebenezer Goode” had clear drug references, particularly to the drug MDMA or ecstasy in the lyric derived from the title “E’s Are Good” (“E” referring to ecstasy).
