Robert Mirabal's solo music tends toward new age, and Bill Miller's toward contemporary folk and rock, but here, both put aside the embellishments to create truly Native American medleys of drums, pow wow chanting, and dark flute duos - with little hint of modern instrumentation. The first half of "Embrace and Betrayal," which has a wonderful voodoo feel about it, is the highlight for me. Contemporary Native American music at its best; I have nothing else quite like it in my collection.

Unique combination of Native American Chants and drumming along with ambiant sounds fused into a "suite" with hints of the classical genre. Is something you just need to relax and listen to in order to hear the subtleties and richness. Am looking forward to more from these two artists.

This one is growing on me. Sometimes the echoes drown out the music, but you can still hear so much of nature also coming through. The two styles of the musicians do meld quite well

I believe in one of your songs "Praises" I like it because of the drum beat. I would love to hear more songs that sound like your at a pow wow.
