Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans

CD-Charts > Music > Native American
by: The Fearsome Brave

Release Date July 28, 1998
I really like this cd compared to most of the run of the mill Native american flute music that is out there...this is much more varied, and not nearly as boring as listening to a full album of flute music, ...I mean I like meatloaf, but not every night. good music, well done, glad I got it.

Sacred Spirit, Vol. 2: More Chants and Dances of the Native Americans

CD-Charts > Music > Native American
by: Sacred Spirit

Release Date November 21, 2000
Strange, I don't know why everyone has rated this so highly - it's so inferior to the original and just doesn't have the same emotive quality or depth.

The first Sacred Spirit album touches me deeply ... in particular the closing tracks which in my opinion represent some of the best music Klaus Zundel (aka The Brave) has ever written. My favorites are the wonderful 'Heya-Hee: Intertribal Song To Stop The Rain' and the CD's closer 'Yo-Hey-Ohee: Brandishing The Tomahawk' - one of the most powerfully haunting and emotive pieces of music I've heard. It's heartbreakingly beautiful.

This follow-up CD (Vol2. More Chants and Dances...) feels derivative and, at times, super cheesy. A lot of it is pure muzak - light 'n' fluffy ... Read More:

R. Carlos Nakai makes music with great feeling. The sound washes over you and puts you in another place away from the noise we live in.

Earth Drum: The 25th Anniversary Collection, Vol. 1 [CD + DVD]

CD-Charts > Music > Native American
by: David & Steve Gordon

Release Date February 12, 2008
I have several drumming albums from these guys as well as the 20th anniversary album, Sacred Drum Visions: 20th Anniversary Collection, and I have to say, though they have always been awesome, they grow more exciting and mesmerizing with each album. I love this particular collection because it shows this transformation so smoothly and brilliantly and over so many years. And the DVD? WOW! What a great idea that was. I hope they keep these treasures flowing.

Totemic Flute Chants

CD-Charts > Music > Native American
by: Johnny Whitehorse

Release Date September 11, 2007
If you enjoy Native American music, you should purchase this new album, which was the 2008 Grammy Award Winner for Best Native American Music Album. The CD consists of twelve original compositions, each devoted to a different totem animal that also serves as inspiration for the music. The compositions are unique and well-crafted, using Native American flutes, drums, and other instruments. The performances interpret animal spirits that have the power to transform human lives, and are atmospheric and invoke a sense of mystery. Although modern compositions, the pieces sound ancient and authentic, since they make use of a limited array of Native American flutes, percussion, and limited vocals. Only a keyboard and guitar are modern, and they are used ... Read More:

I own several CDs of Nakai's work and they are all wonderful, but this one is simply magic. It is a wordless poem to the beauty of the Southwest.
