I got my first copy of this at a store in, I don't remember, either Monument Valley giftshop or a place in Moab, then left it in my tape deck almost the rest of the way back to the east coast....

Beautiful music that will take you to a special place, a special realm of the spirit.

worth every penny.

I discovered this music on a trip to the Grand Canyon where the gift shop at the Tower had it on the sound system. It was haunting music that fit the place so very well, from the deep sounds of Marilyn Rife's percussion to the soft tones of Madalyn Blanchett's wood flutes, all woven together by Alice Gomez's wonderful tunes and deceptively simple arrangements. A true musical trio with three stellar musicians. Sounds like these are magical indeed, both for the heart and for the mind. Listen - and enjoy!

This music is so soothing and beautiful that I took it to work to play on my computer while I write. Everyone who comes in comments on the music and wants to know where to get it. One of my favorite albums of all time ... especially when I'm feeling stressed.

I first heard this CD in a shop in Old Town in Albuquerque. It's a wonderful combination of flute and drums, etc. What else can I say? It's soothing , ethereal and sure to elicit peaceful and harmonic responses.

A friend made me a tape of his CD and I've been enjoying it for a couple of years. I finally just ordered the CD. The music is beautiful beyond words. Some songs are very relaxing and others are more upbeat. I play it so much and never get tired of it!

I bought this CD in a quaint little book store in Montana about 2 years ago and It is one of my all time favorite CD's. The music is hauntingly beautiful. I listen to it over and over again.

The CD consists of original musical compositions by Alice Gomez played on Native instruments primarily the flute and drums. Each track has a beautiful melodic line and musical passages that enhance the original lyrical quality of the piece. The music captures the listener's attention, clears the mind, creates a clear, open, uncluttered space for enjoying the adventure into the canyons of the Southwest, the purple mountain views, seeing tall peaked snow-capped mountains in the distance, or flying condors overhead and llamas grazing on the hillsides of the Andes Mountains. The serene calm creative music on this CD is nearly indescribable. On some tracks, the synthesizer creates smooth transitional musical phrases while on other tracks the native flutes play in unison creating a magnificent chorus of joy and exuberance ... it feels like a festival or celebration in a village in Peru. Truly this CD is more than worth its price. Erika Borsos (erikab93)

If you love this CD as I do, you might like to know that you can also buy the sheet music for most of the tracks. Be aware however, that most of the flutes in the tracks are not actually native american flutes but are in fact recorders.

Another winner from Alice Gomez. If you liked "While the Eagle Sleeps", you'll like Flute Dreams. More of the same spiritual onesess with Mother Earth feeling, but with a slightly different sound.

Turn out the lights, put yourself in a position of serene isolation with your soul and Mother Earth. Allow yourself to rythmically flow with and enter into the music. Allow the flutes to pierce your soul with harmony and in soulfull isolation with Mother Earth. Feel It! Be It!

I bought this record during a USA-trip in 1997 while i was in New Orleans. And now i like to listen to it at least twice a week or when ever i'm feeling down or stressed. I really enjoy listening to this peacefull music.
