The Shamen - Omega Amigo
Review by Chris Cooper
Omega Amigo by Shamen is a thrilling electronic dance album that takes the listener on a wild ride through a variety of different sounds and styles. From the opening track, "Boss Drum," with its thumping beat and infectious vocal hook, to the trippy, psychedelic journey of "Omega Amigo," the album is a non-stop party from start to finish.
One of the standout tracks is "Transamazonia," which features a pulsating rhythm and a catchy, almost tribal vocal chant. The album also includes a few slower, more introspective tracks, such as "Lightspan," which features a haunting melody and a dreamy, atmospheric sound.

About The Shamen
Founded in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1985 by , , & with the band name . The group changed its name to The Shamen in late 1985. Early Alone Again Or and The Shamen material was primarily psychedelic indie rock. The group's first album under the name The Shamen was 1987's "Drop".
By 1987, Colin was inspired by M/A/R/R/S and similar new groups that used sampling and beats. As he delved into exploring new technology and dance sounds, the new direction caused the Shamen lineup to shift: Derek McKenzie, unimpressed with the changes, left the fold to return to school in 1987. Colin added energetic new bass player (a.k.a. Will Sinnott) in October 1987 and he himself moved to concentrate on vocals and guitar. At this point, the pieces were in place for the group to become what they would eventually be remembered for: one of the early pioneers of what became known as "indie-dance
