 Just Plain Noise August 21, 2008
Did you know that listening to drums boosts your immunity? (Scientifically Proven) I bought this CD wanting to listen to some drums. Here the drums are in the background keeping beat, are drowned out by a multitude of other instruments and sounds, or they are competing with a flute. It sounds like there's even a keyboard and an electric guitar.
You may want to keep in mind that I wanted to hear drums and would have been completely satisfied if there were no other instruments at all.
The tracks feel chaotic and noisey. The best way to desribe it is this: In Beethoven's 5th (da da da DA) there are a multitude of instruments working together to say the same thing, or take you to the same place, throughout the masterpeice. On this CD the instruments are each saying something different. To explain further I'll use an example everyone can understand. In the high school gym the teens are gathering all chattering saying their own thing (not something you'd pay to hear). When the football team enters they all rise and cheer together which is pleasing and uplifting. One is noise, the other uplifting.
In my opinion instruments have their own unique voice. If different instruments work together to take you to the same place, say the same thing, you have a masterpiece. If they each say something different simultaneously it becomes noise. This is not peaceful. The musicians on this CD got together and each played what they were feeling simultaneously.
Bottom line: the DRUMS are in the background. When you do notice their presence there's a flute competing with them. The music is NOT peaceful. The music is also NOT authentic/traditional. It is very contemporary/new age.
I trusted the 25 great reviews of this CD, but after listening to it I returned it very disappointed.

Awesome world fusion music, this entire album is amazing. Putting it on creates a sense of instant peace and makes me feel strong and moving forward. Love Love Love *Power Animals ~ It's a real beauty. I am also in love with Drum Medicine.

The Gordon brothers do an amazing job bringing together the sounds of Native America and Mother Earth. This album will nourish the soul. I love to put this album in my CD player after a long day at work and drift away. Highly recommended.

I knew I had to have this one in CD version, having bought the tape after hearing just the four opening beats of the drums. Definitely worth having!
