5.0 out of 5 stars A Shortcut To Your Quiet Place, April 2, 2003

By	David Callison (Albuquerque, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews

This is very tranquil and meditative music, and if you allow it to, it can transport you to somewhere safe and beautiful. Think of this CD as a portal to stillness, to somewhere outside time.
Scott August's _Distant Spirits_ alters the feeling of my immediate environment as soon as the first track begins, and for me brings to mind the clarity of desert light, the smell of damp Juniper as a summer thunderstorm races by, and the almost eerie feeling of quiet I get out on the empty mesas. Treat yourself.

I have owned Distant Spirits since it first came out and have listened to it several times. Scott has done a wonderful job in both performance and production aspects of this CD. Close your eyes, sit back, and listen to Distant Spirits ... it will transport you to a land of Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A place i call home, March 8, 2003

By	Mark Bean (Hollywood, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I have a special place far up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I listen to lots of music there since it is the one place that I have peace and truely consider the home of my soul. Some music instantly doesn't belong, some music fits but is only appropriate to the task I'm doing, like chopping wood and some music provides a simple distraction. Distant Spirits comes the closest to peaceful magisty of this place. It has become the first thing I play when I get there and if I'm at my home in the city it instantly transports me back there. There are very few things in my life that have this power. I will wear this one out and buy another, but I will never be without it. Thank you Scott August.
