Ordinary People (The Lords & Ladies Of Shamballa) - Mahatma flac mp3 download

Extremely obscure project by a certain Marc Mitchell, only one EP was ever released under this name and the label only survived for this EP which is a real pitty cause this is one of the best tracks I've come across!! It is very long, dreamy classic trance with samples saying "I am the Mahatma. I am that I am." and various other samples probably taken from one of Gandhi's speeches. Then there's a breakdown around 8:00, then come some nature sounds and didgeridoos, then the melody picks up in a different way, even more dreamy than the first part. It all fits in perfectly and the 13 minutes that the track lasts IS not enough, that's how beautiful this sounds. A and B are identical as far as I can tell, unless there are some minor changes. It is a real pitty that this project didn't have a bigger recognition, I would've loved to hear more stuff from him.

For those who do not know this and like mid 90's progressive house, this is an essential purchase. Back in 1995 BT did a special mix for Manchester's Kiss 102 (pre galaxy days) on Christmas Day. Playing pust a few very epic progressive house tracks, the usual 'big uns' from that year but nestled in between tracks by the likes of Sasha, BT, Dekkard was one hell of a gem. No title given, just 12 minutes of sublime progressive house. Fast forward through 13 years of searching for a title and listening to my only copy on a worn tape, to a random day in January 2009, placing a mystery white label on the deck and almost cried when this beauty played back. The only reason i can fathom why this isn't wanted more is purely because no-one knows it exists. Buy it, listen to it and cherish it. Whoever made this track is fookin genius!!
