"Shaman's Vision Journey"
by David & Steve Gordon
Primal rhythms and Native flutes once again intertwine in the percussive panoramas of David and Steve Gordon. Crystal bowls, uncommon for a Native American-based percussive album, are used with great effect in the music, adding a mystical glow to it. Subtle ancient chants (Tibetan, Sanskrit, Aboriginal & Lakota) and Indian drone instruments provide additional Eastern influence in the music, and make an intuitive counterpoint to the haunting Native American flute. The most striking thing about the album is the rhythms, which are rich, earthy and invigorating.
