5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and Calming, December 3, 1999

I stumbled across this CD while browsing through Amazon's Gift Ideas section and listened to a couple of the 30 second clips. Just those couple clips left me feeling better and more relaxed, so I put the CD in my cart and ordered two copies--one for myself and one as a gift for my mother to go with the Sony Discman I was also picking up from her.

All I can say about this CD is that it was truly the perfect purchase. I have listened to it many times. I play it both when I am going to sleep and when I am writing. It is simultaneously calming and enlightening--melodious and invigorating. I find it to be truly inspiring when I am writing. It is great background music, especially for acts of creativity.

If you are a fan of Native American flute music, this is definitely the first CD you want to buy. And if you are simply looking for something to relax yourself, look no further. A magnificent piece of work from Coyote Oldman.

Ambient music is new to me. I discovered this recording while looking for Native American music. This serves as background sound in my office and it puts me and my visitors in a better mood. All of the compositions are soothing and flow together as a concept. I hope to be able to play this outdoors, at sunrise, on the beach at Cape May, this summer. It will make a beautiful way to start the day. If you are in need of some spiritual sounds, this is the way to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anhother solid recording from the ambient flute duo, January 25, 2000

This review is from: House Made of Dawn (Audio CD)

Coyote Oldman are among the most reliable artists in instrumental music today. Their new CD is another in a relatively long string of superlative deep ambient recordings. HOUSE MADE OF DAWN is mysterious without being dark, reflective without being maudlin or melodramatic and spacy without being gimmicky. That Barry Stramp and Michael Graham Allen do this using only flutes and studio magic never ceases to amaze me. The music on HOUSE MADE OF DAWN is perfect for very late listening or to accompany massage or intimate moments. The wooden flutes float effortlessly in the air yet since the music is ambient, no trace of "pop" sensibility mars the aesthetic (i.e. this is _not_ Nicholas Gunn). Recommended without reservation for people seeking a serene and calming sonic experience.
