This CD, without a doubt, is the best of the best in the Tribal genre. The music literally MOVES you--I dare you to try and stand still! Unfortunately, nothing Natale has done since compares with the power and genius displayed on this album. Words like classic, timeless, genius, etc., just don't do the music justice. It will never go out of style! I will be playing it FOREVER! It's great for dancing your ass off, releasing stagnant energy and blockages, and for jump-starting your life.

I first heard this album pulsing out of a store in Sedona, AZ.
I went in, and the music overtook me. The store was crowded, but the ancient beats from this music went right through me and put me into a deep, waking trance. I bought this cd and have been using it for ritual ever since. It combines tribal rythms from all over this Earth in such a way that it will speak to any memories in your being and awaken energies you may never knew you had. I highly reccomend this album to anybody in search of their spirituality or anybody already on their path. This is probably the best Shamanic Trance music I've ever come accross. Perfect for ecstatic dance, emotional or spiritual healing, deep trance meditation, and many other practices.

And, for those of you who are wondering what I am blathering on about, I still suggest that you buy this cd. It is great for dancing, and would certainly make an interesting way to wake up in the morning!

My prior introductions to what is commonly called "Tribal Music" consisted mainly of drumming, or chanting, with some background orchestration. Nothing that really moved me, or excited me for more than a few tracks before it seemed monotonous. That was until I stumbled across this Album. Every song worth listening to whether your driving in your car, hanging out at home, or my favorite dancing to it! The first track starts out with talking behind the music telling you a little about the orgin of dance and trance. The rest of them are just amazing music and sound. You cannot listen to this album without wanting to move, stamp, rock, sway, and breathe!
For someone who has never felt moved enough to write a review, I highly recommend this album. If you are looking for Tribal/Shamanistic/Trance/Drumming music, this is the one you have waited for!
Enjoy!

The music includes Aboriginal, African tribal, Native American, Indian and more. Utterly fantastic. I've included some suggestions below which I was gievn by Frank Natale, which helped immensely.

Dress in light, comfortable clothing that won't restrict your movement. Begin with 2 sharp breaths through your nose, hold a brief moment, then exhale. Let your body move how it is guided, rather than how you normaly move it. Allow spirit to guide you to all the places it wishes to take you.

Don't stay with one thought or image - If you are, start breathing & moving again - this will keep the jouney a journey and not a destination. Watch your dreams that follow. If you are begining a transformative path or are well on your way, this is an amazing tool which I use often.

Enjoy

This CD is very good in my opinion. Professor Trance teaches an ancient tribal practice of journey into yourself when dancing covered by a blindfold. He adds Real Tribal grooves to ambient dance style tracks and the result is a classic CD. It does have a few average tracks on it but the very strong ones on it are good enough that I kept letting the whole thing play and I have grown to appreciate every track. Check it out!

This is the best tribal/trance CD I have ever heard. If you liked Gabrielle Roth then you will really like this CD.

From beginning to end, the album is great for moving meditations, straight dancing or even just giving you a rhythm to clean the house to.

As a whole the album is a journey in itself, starting your heartrate out easy and building it up, making you breathe and sweat and then gently rocking you back down.

Highly recommended

If you're looking for something to get the energy moving and the weight off, this is the CD to take to the gym or for any exercising......Pump it up and shake it off...FEEL YOUR POWER

Prof. Trance has several CDs that will eventually become "rare" to purchase. This can be bought, but some others are hard to find. Anyway, the music has a "breath" style that has tremendous implications to techniques used in yoga. The upbeat trance music pushes the envelope on melody and the bongo drums are fantastic. What a wake-up call.

Need to breath fresh air while listening to this CD. Maybe near the ocean or surrounded by a forest. Wow - just breath. If you can, get his other albums, too.

I run to this CD. I am 'out there' with this one. It is powerful and brings back deep rooted thoughts of lives before. Nice little affirmations in it also. Very tribal, strong, and earthy. It is time to get out of the body with this CD. The next CD that came out of Professor Trance, "Rites of Passage", is not even close to this one. Think before you buy "Rites" the words that Frank Natale says are not inspiring.

Let me get straight to the point. If you do not have this CD buy it! It rocks!
