This is authentic Native American music played by reeds and flutes enhanced by sounds of nature. The flute playing is fabulous, and capable of taking you into a completely different culture. This record is also available in a box set titled "Native Spirit" which includes the title CD, this one, and "Spirit of the Wind". All the cuts are great, but I especially enjoyed cut 5, The Gathering Clouds; cut 7, Song of the Wild Cat; and cut 10, Song to the Earth Maker.

If you really enjoy listening to Native American music, then this cd is one you will get your money's worth from. The price is very cheap for such excellent music.

I am blown away by this CD. It is a great mix of good and not so good. My mom loves Native American music and would probably flip if she heard this CD. My mom would probably like most of it, lets say: 95% of it (like I do), but not all of it. This is a great CD for those who love Native American music and wish only to hear more of it.

I go crazy when people say that "they just LOVE American Indian music" - and they don't have a CLUE as to what REAL Native American music IS!! Just because somebody decides that it (sorta) sounds "Indian," that's what they are going to sell it as - and there are soooo many who buy this type specifically because it is thus deemed "acceptable." Not a "How, waumpum, heya, heya," anywhere to be heard!

This CD may contain music that is "played" on a NA flute and other instruments... And the "Various Artists" are noted as "Indigenous," but that is extremely doubtful!! Why aren't "they" proudly listed?

WARNING: Almost every single cut on this CD begins with a loud, piercing note blown on a flute - gave me an instant earache and headache!!
