5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxing voices from another time, August 13, 2002

I came across this disc by accident, but the more I listen to it; the more I believe it was not an accident. Although I must admit that I was searching for some music that personified a Native American tone, I happened to be browsing through the New Age section of a music store at the artists' names when I spotted this unforseen masterpiece. My soul has been seeking a flavor of music that was soothing and full of natural quality.
This album from the mellow, but groovy, Ceremony to the defining title track,"Ancient Voices" is the purist answer to my ears. It moves really distinctly on track 3 "The Sacred Fire", and blends with the appeal of an ancient heritage on track 6 "Eagle's Path." It is soothing with chimes, and timely drumbeats, while not overpowering with each. This collection stays trendy with it's synthesizer without drowning you in it. The flutes leave an impression that you are hearing those spirits from the past. The sleeve inside asks that the listener be inspired by it's enchantment and mystery. The only mystery is how the voices relax you while transporting your soul through the echoes of a people that once thrived in the Four Corners Region. Their culture is justly represented on this offering, and alive and well in that place from another time.

This album is of the best mystic Native American music I have heard. All three discs from the Ah Nee Mah series of David and Diane Arkenstone capture an essence of exotic beauty and meaning beyond that of many fellow New Age artists. This album, as well as being a relaxing and/or meditation aid, has a complete concept around itself from begining to end just as any journey through music should. The soundscapes of Ancient Voices will take you there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new voice, December 28, 2001

I love this Cd. It is perfect for relaxing and hanging out with. It has a very Native American feel too it. Yet it is new and fresh. THis is some of the best New Age music that I have come across. The group AH Nee Mah is a blessing and I hope they keep producing music like this. They have a unique spirit that I am drawn to and enjoy. I hope they make 100 hundred cd's. I'll buy them all if they continue to be up to this magical blend. I own both of their Cd's ANcient Voices and Spirit of the Canyon. I think that both are 5 star quality but I enjoy this one a tad better. It is more relaxing and natural. It blends right into my life whether I am reading writing thinkg meditating, Whatever if you know what I mean. It's good for that too. I highly recomend this Cd. It is the first non Doo wop Cd that I have ever given a Five star rating although like I said I enjoy their other Cd as well as Enya's and Dean Evenson's. New Age music has come of age and I welcome it wholeheartedly if it continues to be as beautiful as this one and many others. Like I said my musical heart belongs to Doo wop and Accapella first but there's room in there for some nice relaxing soothing music like this one. THis one is a gem.
