Their third album, En-Tact, was released in 1990, and it spawned the hit singles "Move Any Mountain (Progen '91)", "Hyperreal" and "Make It Mine". Also notable was the appearance of rapper, DJ and producer Mr. C (real name Richard West), as well as incorporation of a female vocalist, Plavka Lonich -- who was intended to become the focal point of the group. The transformation into a successful rave-music act was complete. Tensions had already begun to show, however. The band's barely concealed espousal of the then-fashionable New Psychedelics, the artistic pressures of altering direction from that of an acceptably skilled guitar band to an electronic dance act. As they continued their Synergy tour, their popularity in the United Kingdom began to rapidly expand. "Hyperreal", released in March 1991, reached number 28 on the top-40 Top Of The Pops chart. By then, they had known they were on their way to reaching mainstream popularity. Every Synergy Live show on the fifth and sixth leg of tours were sold out. On the sixth and last leg of Synergy in April 1991 (possibly changing to the Progeny tour on due to Mr. C now being a full-time member, as well as Will Sin's death), Gavin Knight and Richard Sharpe joined as the live drummer and keyboardist for The Shamen respectively.
