The traditional Carlos Nakai flute playing in Sanctuary takes two forms: pieces rendered on the bass cedar flute, and those presented on the standard flute. Either way, Nakai's classic sounds, flawless performances, and nature-oriented inspirations remain familiar, haunting, and very highly recommended presentations.

A few years ago, I happened upon a Native American Flute Cd. I would have never considered it, however something about it, called to me.. deep. Now, I know what your thinking, new age nut, But wait! I am an EMT, Yes, I am an "earth religion" person. But this transends any cultural bounds. I have meet a few people who dont like this music. But if you get the chance give it a listen! When I hear it, It free's the very soul, you feel "happy" almost urphoric. Its hard to explaine, but I can tell you in a busy world with way too much stress, you owe it to yourself to stop and listen to the finner things. Never mind what others say or think. Trust me you will be hooked by the mystical journy this CD takes you upon. You will be introduced to things I swear you may have seen thousands of times, yet never saw. Its lovely, there are no words to describe the tallent I see here in this CD and others like it. Native American Flute music is the most lovely thing I have had the HONOR to listen to.
And funny of all, I am born to British Parrents. But I pleed with you if your considering this.. GO FOR IT. Dont think twice.
This is lovely... more lovely and real tribute to the old ways.

I truly enjoy Mr. Nakai's music. It seems to be the perfect background for spending time with myself. I like the uncluttered solo performance; it allows me to focus on Mr. Nakai's talent and flute-playing skill. "Sanctuary" carries me away. In combination with the nature that surrounds my home it lets my soal soar.

This is a nice CD. Gifted artist. I think this is the best native american CDs I've come across. I like to open my windows and play this CD. It sounds so beautiful.

Deeply serene and spiritual. The music of Nakai takes the listener to another realm. I highly recommend Sanctuary.

Soothing flutes and exciting drums. I recently purchased a Native American Flute and this CD has helped me get in tune with the Native voice.

I have a lot of native music, but this one is now stuck in my surround sound system. It touches the soul where the peace and calm emminate. Well done.

My brother bought a copy of this CD and loaned it to me so I could listen to it. I'd always thought Mr. Nakai's music combined the native american flute with synthesizers, guitars and other non-Indian instruments, but this one is all flute. I thought it was actually pretty good, some of it even great (#5 Coyote Moon might be one of the better ones)although I found the reverberation effect to be distracting, echo like. The selection I found most fault with was #12 Cimarron Sunset. I first played it on my Gateway PC and thought there was no sound for most of the selection (I had the sound turned up pretty high at that), I had to put it in my old Sony Discman to hear what I'd guess to be a flute version of insect/ animal sounds at sunset- you'll need a better CD player than I have for that one.
I may have to rethink my impressions of Mr. Nakai's music (many of his CD's are flute only) and get some of them, including this one.
