5.0 out of 5 stars intricately woven, spiritually driven, February 28, 2001

By	Chris Stockel (Chestnut Hill, MA United States) - See all my reviews

If this cd could be compared with anything, it would be Mickey Hart's "Planet Drum." However, this is an ensemble, maintaining basically the same instrumentation throughout (unlike Hart's journey through many instruments and styles). Each 'song' is very well orchestrated, so to speak: each instrument has its part to play. The sound is dynamic and full: 3 didgeridoos, djembe, dumbek, flute, shakers, klaves, various low register drums to provide the foundation, and beautiful voice to close out a few tracks...these people have obviously done their homework. Definately one of the best albums in this hard-to-find genre. I wish they'd put out more!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gateway to the spirit world, February 13, 2001

By A Customer

I was looking for some drum music for meditation, and found this incredible CD. The aboriginal undertones and the complex drum syncopation merge to offer the listener an exquisite transcendental journey. One of the best CDs of 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your own drum circle, on demand...., April 21, 2009

By	Lowell Hein (Wherever I happen to Be....) - See all my reviews

There are many "drumming" recordings available, but if you enjoy pure, hand-made percussion, this is The One.

This is nothing like Planet Drum, with all respect to a previous reviewer. The samples available here on Amazon are exactly what you get: Relentless, virtuoso performances of African drumming, with a slight seasoning of didge, wooden flute, and chant (very slight).

If you love drums, you'll love this recording.
