Summary: Pleasant and peaceful!
Comment: I heard the Sacred Spirit II in Yellowstone and loved it! I bought that first. Then I got this one.
The music is calming and pleasant. I like the II more than this one though.

Summary: Fabulous music!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: One of my most favorite CDs of all time. I wore out my old CD, so bought a new one! Thjis music "gets you" on a gut level, somewhere deep inside. It is at once calming yet primordial awakening. evn my infant grandson would calm down when I played it for him.
Wonderful!

Summary: Review for Sacred Spirits
Comment: I ordered this CD because of two of the chants. But when I listened to it I loved all the songs. If this one doesn't move your sopirit nothing will.

Summary: Sacred Spirit CD - original
Comment: I like "Sacred Spirit 2" better than this original CD. If I could do it over again, I would only purchase the second volume and not this first one. The music and chants of the second CD are more soothing, dramatic and better integrated than in the original.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Really nice
Comment: 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: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans is an 11-song journey bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary history, tradition and modern instrumentation. While it is impossible to fully realize such scope on a single disc, Sacred Spirit makes the choice to represent all indigenous Americans rather than become mired in the potentially divisive bog of politics and tribal allegiance. All but two melodies are entirely traditional, bringing together flute, drums, and vocals with a cello and keyboard wash. This marriage is most effective on the lovely bowing of "The Cradlesong," and the looping electro-acoustic beauty of "Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity." Elsewhere, synthetic elements are overwhelming, detracting from a song's essence, as with the spongy nervosity of "Elevation." An uneven offering, Sacred Spirit doesn't quite live up to its promise. A better choice is Earthbeat's Tribal Waters. --Paige La Grone
