I have owned this CD a little over a year now, and I have played it literally several hundred times. In my massage practice, I pop a CD in to the player in the morning, push the repeat button, and listen to the same CD all day long. By the end of the day, I want to fling the CD out the window. Not so with this CD. In fact, I have left it in days on end. This is the most interesting, beautiful music I have ever heard. I even have it loaded onto my i-Pod and listen to it on my own time. It is very soothing and centering and just makes you feel so good.
After all this time, I had no idea it was a Christian CD until I just read it on this review list. Thank goodness I didn't know that beforehand, or I never would have ordered it and would have missed out on owning my favorite CD of all time. Really, it's that good.

Only after I had gotten this CD did I know that any of the songs were Christian. Despite the fact that I am not a Christian it is one of the most inspiring CD's I've ever owned. An awsome tribal feel, relaxing, meditative and unique sound that I have not heard of anywhere else.

I had first seen them at the Toronto Buskerfest a few years back, and had really badly wanted the CD and had no cash, I also knew it would be hard to find anywhere else. But after I talked to them and told them how much their music ispired me they offered to give me a CD for free. Thanks to all the band members for their wonderful hearts. I want them all to know how much I appreciate it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ambient Austrialia Grooves, April 3, 2003

Taking a busker's street show and sucessfully recording it on a CD is no easy task, but Rivertribe has done just that. They've completely captured the mood of their street performances. If you've never listened to them, they are a group of 4 Austrailians, playing a variety of traditional and contemporary instruments. Featuring the percussive drone of the didgeridoo, the ghostly breath of the low whistle, the distinctive whine of the violin, and a mix of percussion and keyboards. Their music is a combination of interpretations of current Praise music, as well as peices of their own composition. They started gigging as buskers (street-performers), but recently have started playing concerts and recording CDs. Though at the heart of it is still their desire to engage people directly through music. The songs on this CD vary from mellow ambient peices to upbeat agressive grooves. Having almost no lyrics, (it does have a few samples looped-in) most of the attention is directed to the main instruments exploring melodic themes. This CD is great for nice background music, but also is interesting enough to be listened to while driving or to un-wind after a long day. There is no one I would not reccomend this album to.
