Summary: Wonderful
Comment:
I have not had any problems with any of my purchases from Amazon so far. At this point, I think it would be fair to say that Amazon has a standard of business that should be followed by many for success. Very professional and continued interest in making the customer pleased.
Thank you Amazon for asking.
Happy New Year.

Summary: Its a magical journey of music
Comment: I was introduced to this album in 1996. I listened to it almost each day. A few years late I lost it and have often thought of it especially the Forward, Afterward and almost all of the songs on this album. I have ever since been in search of it. Now that I found it I am once again at rest. It's a great album that I will never grow old of! It's history recorded in the magic that is music.

Summary: Rare
Comment: I gave the music 5 stars for one reason - there is so little Native American music to choose from. I have a VHS called "Spirit" which has Native American influenced music and dance. I happen to love the CD and the VHS.
The CD is not the music one would hear at an Indian gathering; rather it is updated to suit the American culture and it brings to mind the history of North America and it's indigeinous people without being boring or trite.
I found it relaxing and emotional, well worth the investment. Now I'd like to see the movie.

Summary: The one that started it all . . .
Comment: This is the CD that started my journey into contemporary Native American and Native American influenced music. The documentary was very well done and informative, it's worth watching if you ever get the chance. (Did you know there were 500 distinct nations here when the Europeans came?) The sound track, however stands on its own whether you've seen the show or not. By far my favorite of Peter Buffet's Native influenced works (and there's nothing wrong with any of them). You can almost see the history through the music. While carrying certain themes throughout you can hear and feel the difference between the missionary period and the military period, etc. To be honest I can't tell you which songs are "better" because I always listen to the entire CD from start to finish. It is a journey you should take as well.

Summary: The more you hear, the more you will like
Comment: If you like Spirit Dance, you will love this. Since his album "The Waiting" I got all of them. I bought this CD in 1996 and it still one of my favorites. It is the type of music you would buy again if you lost it.
