planning on making a comment later on when i have had a chance to listen.
BTW thank you Ektoplazm for Awesome free music! Keep on the good work!
Xander, thanks again for all this awesomeness you bring upon us!
Excellent material, lovely music, pure oldschool feeling and great use of sounds.
Very well mastered and lovely artwork.
Well done!
Incredible and awesome! Great sound and material. The best of goa and psy in one album. Thank you very much for this great free release.
Thanks for the nice comments!
Special thanks to Alexander for all the effort, passion and interest!
This tracks have grown through the years, collecting influences and reaching balance… enjoy the album!
Boom
Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your work at it’s best quality by offering lossless downloads as well as mp3 – you’ve very obviously put a lot of yourself into the album so we owe it to you to hear it as you intended it to be heard.
That’s one hell of a mature debut… quite some journey, and it’s going to be good to see you develop your ideas still further from such a promising start.
As you’re obviously enjoying it just as much as us, I hope you can make the living you deserve from your hard work.

i got curious on this protuguese project :)
will have a listen
goa trance remake its not my style,but i have to admit that i see good intensions from xamanist,cool
Whooooo ! this is wot im loving ! intergalactic journey across the universe , im just amazed
Machu Picchu is really something special and unique
I just love it
Good Job !
some nice use of samples to get into theme, but doesn’t deliver much melody. nice artwork and good effort on the mastering from Akhentek.
I just find it great
Machu Picchu is still out there…
Greate to see things progessing.
Within every evolution lies a revolution.
So what are “progressive arrangements”? Is it the opposite of old-skool goa arrangements?
For me “progressive arrangements” are musical stories made by layers, in which we have the feeling of reaching higher, step by step… till the climax in the end.
I don’t think it is the opposite of goa arrangements, as I think old goa uses this kind of arrangements also…
An opposite of it would be fullonish structure, with all its breaks and the feeling of being always high, lacking the flow/trip feeling of oldschool arrangements.
Hope it helps! Boom
interesting album for sure.
Going to give it some careful listens… be back soon.
Keep up!
спасибо | Thanks

Grande sentimento que está aqui, sim senhor! Gostei da maneira que exploraste com pouca melodia, sombria e progressivamente esta viagem. Parabéns.
Foi um prazer trabalhar neste projeto com Sérgio e ver todos gostarem :)
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetder.dr
This album is just epic. I am so impressed with this material. Thanks for sharing this!
Amazing.
Stay true to the sound.
I just go the album here in Portugal and I must way its worth it every bit of it.
Thanks for your nice comments!
I’m very glad that this album is being so apreciated!
Soon I’ll release a live-act to show how my guitar and synths work live
boom
I was very happy to have Basilisk bring a copy of this release to my last gig @ BLA Wednesday’s in Toronto, January 28th. I was able to slide a track in during the middle of my set and really enjoyed the sound on the club system! Seriously awesome production and great flow, thanks Xamanist!
thanks Moxy! I always love to hear that people are DJing one of my tracks :) Which one was it? (curious)
Big Boom to you
OMG
i love this one..
hey man, i really like this release, very nice song structures and rhythms.. . my only concern is the highs in this release are not very crisp or clear? i mean its not very bright… i love the track this is a warning. well done
thank you this is wicked. your music helps me study for school.
I love it!
doownloading now, can’t wait. thanx
wow, surprising and good! this is what I am looking for. learning from the beginnings of GOA, but with a more modern production. and most importantly not banging you in the face with hi-hat! Basslines that are emotive, don’t sound like they’re droning on and on. can’t wait to play this out :D
Thank you very much for all comments!
Every comment is important for me, and I’m very glad people are undestanding and liking my music :)
Big Boom!
Beautiful album, I’m in complete adoration. Thank you for the lovely gift.
Across The Universe :)
What a great achievement !
Original, deep and tripping.
what about partys? here in portugal? i cannot see u anywhere! u just give sound 2 your friends hein?
not bad… for those who can see u
@tiago: Will you book me to play? :) I’ve contacted almost every party promoter in Portugal. Some are interested in my liveact for the near future, others don’t bother with a project that’s not fullon :p
I have my liveact ready and my guitar is on my back :) see you soon on the dancefloor!
Wonderful work
U have the spark of the professional in this.
I really enjoy it.
Amazing! Incredible!!!
this is exactly the music i need for dark, lonely and sleepless nights… it takes one to dimensions previously unknown.
thank you muchly for this.
Excellent. Definitely old school with goa influences, but not at all derivative, and there’s a lot of depth. I really want to hear some of these tracks outside in the middle of the night. Very heady and intricate, but also great dance music, because the trance in the music is allowed to develop for a long time and isn’t interrupted by too many breakdowns. Very nice pulsating bass. Rolling basslines are overrated. So are breakdowns every eight bars. Very glad to hear someone making new music which really lives up to the genre. Hope you make it to the US sometime.
Thanks for the nice comments! That’s what keeps me going, aside with true love for music and its creation.
Boom
killer stuff dude
keep up d gud wrk cheersss
all the best
love vandy (india)
thanks Vandy! Glad you liked
peace
very very creative
goa pyschedelism influence at its best
feels too good to be connected with ur influences
thanks for this ,will wait for more from you Xamanist
harsha(india)
thanks harshyc!
Stay tuned, soon I’ll release the full Xamanist liveact, filled with live guitars, here at Ektoplazm!
peace
Excellent !
Dark side of Goa ?
The sample sounds very good, will get the lossless now! Thank you Xamanist & Ektoplazm Crew (Basilisk)!
this is amazing!!
we dream of music like this in Italy!!!
(sorry for my English)
really fantastic!
Dude this is epic.
Fantastic masterpiece ;)
Great, just great.. Whats that sample 48 sec into Machu Picchu about reality and, where is it taken from?.. I cant gather one of the words to make a sensible translation.. is it Terence McKenna quote?
Thanks people, your feedback means a lot to me!
The sample is indeed Terence McKenna, taken from a conference (can’t remember which) as is more or less like this:
“Reality is a very thinly sp… cultural fiction and as long as you stay on mainstream it all holds together pretty well”
The sp.. word I don’t know exactly but take the meaning of “web sowed very thinly and tight”
Peace!
awesome stuff! :)
sample is really great… downloading now!
Wonderful work thanks :)
Great site and music! Thanks.
The WAV file is defective…
Incredible ! Like goa but with a more digital sound (and not in a bad way).
Fantastic music! So impressive! Just can’t get enough..
Small question. When more tunes came out? or where can i hear them)
Thanks to all for the nice comments
One new Xamanist track is just about to be released on a new Ektoplazm VA, stay tuned
More music is coming to life in my lab, so expect new tunes this year (not sure yet in what format to release)
“You do it in darkness, and in silence, and in reverence. You do it on an empty stomach, free from distraction, with attention to breath….Reality is a very thinly spun cultural fiction, and as long as you stay on Main Street it all holds together pretty well.”
Excellent sounds. Great creativity. Great mastering. 5/5
Thanks. Awesome Album, I love the goa tribal sounds. :) awesome..be well, with metta kindness
Great fusion of dark and light sounds. Such a blend results in a perfect psychedelic experience. This inspires me to make a trippy video for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uuhknuzvd8 morphing and changing like these sounds.
Keep on stomping
eh this one was epic, I’m going back to it :)
Wow I really enjoy the hints of old-skool mixed with hints of the new.. the vibe is outstanding! Thank you for this release.
Thank you all for your comments! Working on a new album :)
I’ve just got around to listening to this and wow! What a magical album, sharing everywhere I can and playing loud, thanks for these awesome tunes!
Thanks a lot Mat!
