I first heard this music many years ago at a meditation group and was immediately sold. These are the most beautiful sounds played to perfection. I recently bought the CD (my cassette was getting a little worn) and introduced Coyote's sounds to my heavy rock loving husband who to his surprise sat in awe listening to it. I still use it for meditation, my husband uses it to drift off and relax with, this music can take you places!! I haven't met anyone yet who hasn't lost themselves in the Tear Of The Moon. Enjoy!

Being an audiophile, bed time seems like wasted time when not listening to great music. Most of the music this listener hears is too stirring to foster the mind frame necessary for a positive dream time. Enter Coyote Oldman. Some may dismiss this as new age music. There is an understandable skepticism about such music. Ultimately, such critics are missing out on "Tear of the Moon." This is the soundtrack to either a profound meditation or a good night's repose. Rest assured, "Tear of the Moon" is both relaxing and a quality listen. The Native American flutes and Incan pan pipes will gently carry the listener off to another world. Barry Stramp and Michael Graham Allen's aerophones dance in a mystical, reverb soaked state of tranquility. Originally released as a cassette, this version includes a twelve minute bonus track that brings the time up to a respectable CD length. "Tear of the Moon" is one of Coyote Oldman's most compelling vision quests.

Haunting is a word best describing this album. Incan pan pipes and Native American flutes together create beauty through sound. The music was recorded during the time between dusk and dawn which make this a wonderful album to listen to at night. Nice echo effect, too. Reminds me how blessed I am to be able to hear such music.

I put my son to sleep every night playing this cd. We never grow tired of the beautiful music and we even bring it with us when we go on vacation. I highly recommend this album!!

I like most of Oldmans Music. If you Like a more basic Native Flute You May want to listen before you buy this CD.

Anything by Coyote Oldman is terrific. I have at least 5 albums.
Very calming esp in this nerve-racking world! I always play it when flying.

Coyote Oldman make for such a satisfying experience in sound. Tear of the Moon was the first of their recordings to receive widespread attention, a recording of undeniable beauty, tranquillity, and power. I still return almost 20 years later to this tape for the peace.

highly recommend this cd very relaxing music.one of my favs.lost my original so i purchased another.i am indeed pleased.Coyote Man has other cd`s that are very good

I consider anything before Thunder Chord, many of their CDs after, to be experimental music while Coyote Oldman was looking for their sound. Thunder Chord was the breakthrough into this mystical and expansive consciousness-raising full-on kiva and open desert mode of awareness. Tear of the Moon continues this trend with some fine tuning. You still have the droning in the background that made Thunder Chord a block-buster work. But you have more melodic dancing with this CD and it just works.

In recent years CO has slowed down. So the closest stuff currently being produced out there just now, as in brilliant flute music, is Scott August as in Radiant Sky. Now mind you, much of Scotts stuff is way different than this, bordering on easy listening, but it is finely crafted and worth a listen.
