	Shamanic Journey Drumming Evelyn Rysdyk & C. Allie Knowlton From the Artist "Our desire was to produce a shamanic drumming recording of the highest possible quality, using state of the art recording and mastering techniques to support the listener in expanding their consiousness and more fully exploring the richness of our human experience."
	Drumming To Journey By Kay Cordell Whitaker The compelling consciousness altering sounds on this CD are woven into an enticing rhythm produced by four traditionally crafted drums, a traditional ceremonial deer toe rattle, the resonant singing of two crystal bowls activated only by the sounds of the drums, and the distant whispering of an ancient calling chant. click here to readmore...
	Sacred Spirit: Chants And Dances Of The Native Americans - Sacred Spirit This album is really nothing short of brilliant. Native American chants are sung over a mostly modern backdrop of electronic instrumentation. The effect is positively gripping. The moment you stick this in your CD player, you'll be forced to pause and listen. The chanting is marvelous because it has an authentic sound which hasn't been modernized or translated into English. Its power is in its pure authenticity. But at the same time, the modern instrumentation really represents "today's America", with the influences of all of our many races . Review by bethtexas
	Ancient Power Deborah Martin & Steve Gordon This is no cheap tourist trinket's tinkling clatter, as other new age tribal concept albums so often resemble. The soul-cry of the Apache visits in these songs. Authentic native instruments and chants are fused with guitar, keys, tambourines, and such - but not too overblown nor out-of-the-flow...Synths melded with textural guitar verge on an Emerald Web/Peter Buffet sound...You even hear cicadas calling from Indian ruins on this CD. If you like Native American music with that new age delivery, then Ancient Power is recommended with no reservations. Review by Progression
	The Garden of Mirrors Stephan Micus ThisMulti-instrumentalist and composer Stephan Micus is a unique explorer of sonorities, wandering the world to study instruments from a host of heritages. His work is marked by a simultaneous interest in the instruments' distinctive properties and original uses and his own vision. For the nine-part Garden of Mirrors, Micus has added to his instrumental palette with bolombatto and sinding, two lower-register West African harps with attached tin rattles. These are used here to accompany vocals or are joined in various configurations with a complement of ethnic flutes--including Japanese shakuhachi, Balinese suling, Egyptian nay, and an Irish tin whistle--as well as steel drums, and Micus's voice is overdubbed to a 20-member chorale on three tracks. The results are often hypnotic, combining hyper-resonant instruments with static five-tone scales and chanted micro-melodies.
