5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT MISS THIS SOUL HEALING WORK OF ART!, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

I have a large new age & light jazz collection, and listen to about everything I can get my ears to. This soulful inspiring collection takes you on a progressive journey through all your feelings, solidly gracing and touching every corner of your soul with a confident magical healing power, leaving you refreshed and healed in a way, which is hard to discribe. Douglas Spotted Eagle will embrace your soul with his understanding of native peoples, earth forces, symbolic animal presences and an intutive knowing of our struggles and journey, in a way that aligns, centers, and strengthens your spirit for the road and challenges ahead!

I have had tears result from just letting it play in the background, from unconcious parts of me responding to the tonal messages I feel/receive from it.

Like your closest Friend, this to be experienced often. And it is to be shared with those you know are hurting inside or searching for joy, upliftment and truth. The high praise is well deserved Douglas ... this Master has created and shared something very special, and treated us as as his most honored friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Achievement!, December 3, 1999

By	"nyrube" (Culver City, CA USA) - See all my reviews

What can you say about Douglas Spotted Eagle and his music, soulful, moving, touching. I have been enjoying Native American music for years now, and this fine musician is on the top of all the music I have collected. His CD "Pray" is probably the only other CD that surpasses this one. If you love Native American music, or simply great soul food music, try Douglas Spotted Eagle in your diet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Native and New Age well blended, December 5, 2002

By	Chrijeff (Scranton, PA) - See all my reviews

Though the two "Sacred Spirit" CD's continue to be my favorite AmerInd music, this one is almost equally well done. Spotted Eagle's flute provides the leading motif on all the tracks, joined by muted drums, traditional chant (as in "Bii'saao'beh" and "Brother, Father, Warrior, Son"), and contemporary European instruments. Most are slow and contemplative, but "House Made of Dawnlight" makes me imagine dancers moving lightly over grass (perhaps Native pixies, if there are such things), and "Little Ritual," with its deep-toned male-chorus chanting, sounds like just that. I'll be looking for more CD's by this artist.
