| | VH1.com : The Shamen : Biography |
 | | The Shamen officially formed in 1986 and released their first album, Drop, the following year. |
 | | However, the Shamen fell out of favor during 1993 and their 1994 album Different Drum failed to gain much of an audience. |
 | | Combining swirling psychedelic rock with hardcore hip-hop rhythms, the Shamen were one of the first alternative bands to appeal to dance clubs as much as indie rockers. |
