Billboard

"The Gordons have juiced up the tribal groove – their melodies are prettier and their rhythms are more compelling."

Product Description

Enter a Sacred Dream - This soothing-trance music invites you to remember your own inner peace. Award-winning artists David and Steve Gordon (Sacred Earth Drums, Drum Medicine) combine the Tribal drums and reverent Native Flute melodies they are renowned for with relaxing atmospheres, ancient Shaman chants (Lakota, Tibetan, Aboriginal and Mayan) guitars, sounds of nature and the healing resonance of Crystal Bowls. The album consists of four serenely hypnotic 20-minute movements that correspond to the Native-American four directions and the four sections or worlds that make up a Shamanic Journey.  This peaceful soundscape will nourish your Massage, Meditation and Yoga as well as being the perfect music for starting your day or unwinding at night.

Billboard-charting artists David & Steve Gordon (Sacred Earth Drums, Drum Medicine) have sold over 1.3 million albums. This is the Gordons’ first full-length collaboration since Drum Medicine, which won Visionary Record of the Year and Best World Album.

"Primal rhythms and Native Flutes once again intertwine in the percussive panoramas of David and Steve Gordon. Past releases from the Gordons, like SACRED EARTH DRUMS and DRUM MEDICINE, have proven their mastery of shamanic sounds in a healing setting and became top sellers in the genre. SHAMAN'S VISION JOURNEY takes things one step further with the introduction of some fascinating instrumentation choices. Crystal bowls, uncommon for a World percussive album, are used with great effect in the music, adding a mystical glow to it. Subtle ancient chants (Tibetan, Sanskrit, Aboriginal, Mayan & Lakota) and Indian drone instruments provide additional Eastern influence in the music, and make an intuitive counterpoint to the haunting Native American flute. The most striking thing about the album is the rhythms, which are rich, earthy and invigorating. " ~ Music Design In Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sacred Mood Unfolds, May 16, 2006

By	Julian Fund "Nightmusic" (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews

I have the Gordons other native/world albums like Sacred Earth Drums, Drum Medicine and Drum Prayer. This one is just as gorgeous as those but it has longer songs which creates more of a peaceful trance soundscape. I use it for yoga and relaxing at the end of the day. The Gordons are absolutely the finest world fusion artists. Highest Recommendation!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gordon's Go Deep into Shamanic Trance, May 12, 2006

By	Florian Evers (Taos, New Mexico) - See all my reviews

As a long time healer and practitioner of cross-cultural shamanism I must say that I am once again incredibly impressed with this latest release from David & Steve Gordon. This is their first all new release in over 6 years, since their profoundly inspirational "Drum Medicine" was released in 1999. And this title clearly shows the Gordon's have been hard at work, delving deeply into the fertile realms of the subconscious in order to unearth the Great Spirit that lies within. They have created a uniquely indelible synthesis of the Shamanic experience through the four worlds of the Native American cultures; within these four distinct tracks that penetrate into an entrancing exploration of these inner realms. Yet this is no mere Native American release; this is pure musical alchemy - deftly blending music and voices of indigenous shamanic cultures from around the globe. The Brothers skillfully bring together tribal drums, native flutes, crystal bowls and other instruments and rhythms from around the world with anceint Lakota, Aboriginal, Buddhist, Mayan and Sanskrit chants. The result is a soothing, trance inducing mix in four 18 minute movements that have to be heard and experienced to be fully appreciated. This title is great for meditation, healing and inner visioning work. Put your headphones on and slip blissfully into other worlds.
