Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans is an 11-song journey bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary history, tradition and modern instrumentation. While it is impossible to fully realize such scope on a single disc, Sacred Spirit makes the choice to represent all indigenous Americans rather than become mired in the potentially divisive bog of politics and tribal allegiance. All but two melodies are entirely traditional, bringing together flute, drums, and vocals with a cello and keyboard wash. This marriage is most effective on the lovely bowing of "The Cradlesong", and the looping electro-acoustic beauty of "Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity". Elsewhere, synthetic elements are overwhelming, detracting from a song's essence, as with the spongy nervosity of "Elevation". An uneven offering, Sacred Spirit doesn't quite live up to its promise. --Paige La Grone Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - buy thisthis is sooooooooo cool! i love this album, am about to buy the 2nd one, some tracks were more like native club music! not a chill out albumn but very uplifting for the soul! i have listened to it alot and is my fave new age albumn out of about 20, i know the lyrics but dunno wot it means ha,i want more of this please, cya Rating: - massages and soothes the ears and brainan excellent blend of native american chants with modern instruments produce wonderful, uplifting yet relaxing music. it is excellent music to chill out to. it massages and soothes your ears and brain to give your chill out time the extra pleasure you need to recharge yourself. Rating:  - Even Native Americans listen to this!As someone who is proud to have Red blood (!) I find this actually not too bad. This is NOT Native American-recorded, however, "Brave" makes no secret of the fact he is Austrian, and the music is not offensive. In fact, it is a slightly New Agey mix of Native chanting and singing, with flute, sampling of birds occasionally, all against a backing track which is thoughtfully and at times very skillfully put together. Suitable for everything from headphones while you read, quiet music as you have a nap, calming music to relax boisterous small children, to background music for gift/book shops and Alternative Therapists. However, volume 2 is better! Rating:  - UnauthenticIf you like trance/chillout albums the likes of which resemble Enigma, then your want to add this to your collection, but if your looking for something authentic, and original, that helps you feel the mood and spirit of the native american tribes and cultures, then stay away from this cd, because you will be disapointed. However i will be recommending it to my friends who like a chillout session after a long nights clubbing. Rating: - Just listen......Right, first let's make one thing clear - ignore the Amazon review, it's psycho babble. Here's an example. '"Elsewhere, synthetic elements are overwhelming, detracting from a song's essence, as with the spongy nervosity of "Elevation".' Spongy nervosity? What does that mean? What does it tell you about the music? There isn't a bad track on this CD, and who cares if traditional native american music has been watered down by the addition of contemporary instruments and arrangements -it works, leave it at that. The tracks are all credited to "The Fearsome Brave", but no further information is given, so one must assume that this work is by a native american producer who wants to make his (or her) traditional music more accessible to "western" ...
