Album by David Toop

Lost Shadows: In Defence of the Soul (Yanomami Shamanism, Songs, Ritual, 1978) is an album by David Toop, released in 1978. It documents field recordings of Yanomami shamanic songs and ritual sounds, characterised by sparse, atmospheric textures and extended vocal and percussive elements that bridge ethnographic documentation and experimental sound practice, and represents an early point in Toop's exploration of indigenous ritual music within his broader work.
