I used to blast this over a 100 watt stereo in a warehouse with 15 inch woofers. The incredible chants and "primative" music would form standing waves in places as I walked around designing my electrical laser supplies late at night.

Some songs would dislodge huge sections of acoustic energy and create wind like effects. I often felt like beings were next to me or touching me. This is not like any music you have ever heard, yet it fascinates everyone who is exposed to it.

After playing Winds of Warning for several weeks I began to feel like some of my personal demons were being exorcised. They were. I quit that laser company and now have my own computer graphics studio where, yes, we still play this amazing album.

In fact, I'm here writing this for Amazon because an Intern liked the album so much she wanted to buy a copy.

If you like Didge and some traditional aboriginal sounding atmospheres, you will love this cd. Nice catchy rhythms and beats. The excellent and warm didge reminds me of Inlakesh. There are some (what I would describe as "African")voices singing behind the first 3 songs or so- I loved it. Very tribal and beautiful sounding- nice rhythmed songs. The solo didge is totally excellent on this cd also. I'll have to practice some of this on my own didge.. One of my favorites amongst my collection now. Get it.

I haven't quit playing this cd since it arrived two weeks ago. Adam Plack has to be the most creative sound magicians I've ever heard. The percussion, didge and keyboards are so interwoven through some of the pieces that I don't even have time to sit there and tear it apart. "Initiation" can play all day, as far as I'm concerned. But wait - I want to hear "Underground, In the Air, On the Ground" just one more time...

Now I have to get one for my brother. He's going to go over the moon when he listens to this.

I first bought this CD over 8 years ago and it remains one of my favorites.

The first track alone is worth buying the album for. Track 7 is also noteworthy. It contains a didgeridoo being played in a manner that imitates various things. (a common practice among didgeridoo playing) The imitations are a boomerang, blow fly, crickets, bullfrogs, a cave, crow, pigeon, kookaburras, an emu, raven, dingo, kangaroo, dog, and lizard.

The CD is out of print but is really worth listening to.

This is easily the absolute most rockin'est CD EVER! I work with a local enviro/social activist dance company and we have performed almost every song on this CD. We actually wore out our first copy of the CD after years of constant use, so we had to buy another one (because we couldn't be without it)! These guys are so awesome!

I want to be the only one who has it or even KNOWS about it. People will think I am a god.
