"Move Any Mountain" was a single performed by The Shamen. The song was released in the UK during the summer of 1991 and was their first Top 10 single, reaching #4 in the UK Singles Chart. The promotional video was filmed on the Tenerife island where Will Sinnott drowned and died. This happened on 23 May, 1991.

In response to demand for remixes from fans,[1] the band released the entire sample list and a number of remixes on the album "Progeny", which at the time meant that the single and album release of the track made it the only record to chart in both UK singles and album chart at the same time.[2]
