I found the wingmakers.com website first and then listened to the music from Chambers 1-10. I loved it... unfortunately I can't find the music. So, I tried this CD and absoltely loved it. I like Enigma, Dead Can Dance, Enya, music like that, and I'd have to say that this is better. It has more interesting rhythms and percussion, and the melodies are more engaging. The native chants are great as are the female vocals. It's my new favorite CD. You can play it over and over and never get burned out by it.

Rhythm, melody, ambiance, dance, headphones, driving ... turn it up and let the music move you! An excellent production by Soulfood.

This collection is the second of three volumes of materials...Each track is matched to one of 23 chambers (the chambers are part of an archaeological find from the extra terrestrial future or a wonderfully crafted myth for our times?). Each chamber contains the musical notation (decoded), a mural/art, poetry and philosophy (supposedly in a non-terrestrial language in code which has been "broken") and a mysterious piece of technology.

Wonderful percussion, excellent musicianship, some tracks really fire the imagination and wake up the mind, others seem more mechanical and somewhat formulaic music for a new age gathering. Shades of Loreena McKennett mixing Native American aboriginal with a sprinkling of middle eastern, celtic and east indian influence.

If you loved the wingmakers website, you'll enjoy the music. First Source (chambers 1-10) is the most musically accessible and Wingmakers Volume 3 has the most complex (and activating) tracks. I cannot specify a favorite among the three.

Here is another blissful experience from Wingmakers.com site's music series. It doesn't matter whether one visits the site, believes in the idea behind it or not. The music speaks for itself and affects all who listen.

There is an uplifting experience to be had and it seems to change with the needs of the listener and the occasion. It always delivers.

I must say that the rhythmic beats/chants of Chamber 16 blew my mind by being so like a super hip dance sound, I didn't expect it. Yet at the same time, the sense of true spiritual gifts were STILL delivered.

Of the 5 Wingmaker albums to date, this one seems to be the one with more of a modern beat atmosphere. Each CD has a particular strength and this one is glorious. I bought all 5 and haven't regretted it for one second. I play each of them for different kinds of healing enhancements to each day. This is hypnotic stuff, and so habit-forming. I'm a happy camper.

Wingmakers music is actually mind and brain enhancing technology. Close your eyes and let it bring you up into your higher brain. Chambers 1-9 set you up for the first step...chamber 10. In the middle of 10 part two is a percussion session that will thrill and educate you. Listen to where it is coming from and watch your brain change.

Yes, this is a world, ethnic, tribal electronic album and is indeed very good. But there are literally hundreds if not thousands of cds that fit into this genre and this ranks as an album that is a far cry away from sounding like Enigma within this genre. Soulfood is more traditional yet more abstract while Enigma is more ambient dance world pop and SENSUAL and is in my opinon ALOT BETTER than this! But I credit that not to one being above the other but because I simply prefer that sound over this one. Nevertheless I recommend this album to anyone who likes this sort of music, but when it comes to finding a cd I'd recommend to someone who likes Enigma there are plenty of other cds I'd suggest to Enigma fans before I'd suggest this one.

Soulfood is good, but I think it would be more accurate of reviewers to compare it to Loop Guru instead.
