Very calming and relaxing drumming.......2007-05-08

This is a very nice CD when I put it in to play my whole house relaxed and clamed down and just listened very nice. The drumming is fantatsic, but if you do not like native american flutes not a CD for you in some parts of the CD the flutes are very loud. But I really enjoy this CD.

Drum Medicine.......2007-01-12

I really enjoy both CD's Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine. I live in an area of very little resource for this type of purchase- I was very happy to find what I wanted online- also very glad to be able to listen before I purchased- would not have bought them without that. Service was the best- shipping was also very good.. I will consider this type of purchase again when needed.

Awesome Drum CD.......2006-07-13

This CD is awesome I have it in my car now and that is all I play.

Drum Medicine rocks........2006-03-11

This is the best cd for playing along with drums or dancing up a storm.

Incredible - can this be the work of two white men?????.......2005-09-01

You have to listen to this CD to believe it. I hear the Native American flute, drums .... it's one incredible CD. I bought it to learn to drum but enjoy listening to it just for relaxation, trance states, etc. This is superb!

Customer Reviews:

Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew Bartlett

Customer Reviews:

A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06

It would be an understatement to say that this is a fabulous box set. All 10 CDs are packed with some fabulous music that beautifull highlights the first 25 years of the Kronos Quartet, and the booklet included provides a great history of the group as well as nice blurbs on the composers and their pieces.

Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.

Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."

Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.

Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09

I like more classic period, like Hayden, but Cronos does it very well, technicaly excelent. The ten sets are wonderful recordings and the selection is unique. It deserves the investment, If you buy it, youre going to have more than ten hours of joy.

Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26

Since their youthful start in the NW back in the 70's, Kronos has collaborated with, commissioned, or just played such a breadth of musicians it almost seems that breadth - and especially non western world culture - is their mission. But, while this conservatively and esthetically designed 25-yr-retrospective box (with its increasingly sophisticated photo-portraits) belies the pulsation of social angst and conscience that underlies the bulk of the inclusions, the latter concern, its vitality and relevance - and not some stylish chasing after cultural breadth - is what overtakes the listener/reader, rather soon. I say reader, since the booklet is very helpful, especially to the relative novice, and well balanced in its coverage of composers, historical contexts, performers, individual texts, etc.

There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.

How Could You Not Listen?.......1998-12-19

My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of 20th-century music, this CD presents the genius of our culture and teaches that daring and ingenuity do not have to be sacrificed on the road to technical brilliance. My only regret is that the CD does not include Kronos's interpretation of Bartok. But, so what? Górecki's here, as are Part and Benshoof. Listen to this CD -- soar and struggle with it.

Good for help to know up-to-date contemporaly music.......1998-11-28

The Kronos Quartet has released many albums. There let us see what the quartet has tried new titles and arrenges in each period. But this is the best set for understand the quartet as summary of thier works. The CDs are distributed by each composers and we can see thier identities easily.Unfortunately this dose not include all but be enough to see what the quartet has been.I hope that every classical music fans(not only contemporaly music fans) listen this CDs.

I got this free(promotional) at coachella .. and i was wonderfully suprised that this was so good .. its alittle too trance to be a 5 .. since its kinda cliche at times .. but its actually rather intelligent like juno reactor ..

A Great CD!.......2000-05-23

I heard this CD playing in a store and had to have a copy of it when I left. The music is very primal and yet it has a very modern twist. I would buy anything else they had without even hearing a track.

Essential Japanese techno.......2006-04-06

Sparser than Flatspin and not as colorful as Sleeping Madness, Extra is full of clean, understated, dancable techno, fond of video game style bleeps but never adverse to live percussion. All the tracks with the exception of Cocoa Mousse (which I found to be strikingly boring) make for great study music and remind me in places of Kenji Kawai's soundtracks for the Ghost in the Shell movies. Highly recommended.

An electronica album which is good in places, but overall it's pretty uneven - only for genre fans, though.......2006-01-08

"Jelly Tones" is a pretty decent album which doesn't try and expand the genre in any way - it's here simply to try and make dancy club tracks. It somewhat succeeds, but occasionaly it does not. The first track, "Extra", is a great tune which I WOULD say goes on a bit too long, but it's still good. The sounds Ken makes are distinctly Japanese even though there's no real way you could prove that (it just SEEMS like something a Japanese artist would create). In this sense it's pretty interesting, but sometimes the songs become generic sounding. The production is good, but not really worth noting. Overall it's an uneven album with a few really good tracks, so if you're an electronica fan you might like this. Slightly recommended.

Highlights include:
"Extra"
"Cocoa Mousse"
"Stretch" (parts of it)
"Ethose 9" (sort of)
"Moved By Air"
"Frame Out"
"Endless Season"
"#10"

EXTRA: the Song, the Video, the Hype...and Still Good!.......2004-04-26

After reviewing Future in Light, I had to give Jelly Tones another listen; after all, this is the CD that really launched Ken Ishii into a techno main-stay and introduced the Japanese dub circuit to the world masses. I wondered: was it all just the electronica craze of the mid-90's, the incredibly lush anime video by the creative director of Akira, or was it the brilliance of the man behind the tracks? Perhaps it was all of the above.
Jelly Tones isn't a typical techno CD, with its ambient, minimalist trance and slow-building, slow-moving (and in some cases, anticlimatic) soundscapes; but Ken Ishii knows where the pressure points are, and just how much to press them.
Take "EXTRA:" dreamlike, almost drifting, with percussion elements (that sound very Asian and stick in your head) introduced and eliminated, unfolding slowly...
"Cocoa Mousse" is another ambient tableau, but with a more "clickty-clack" drumming and emotional synth notes. It leaves the impression of stroll (not exactly a dance track pace).
With "Stretch" I first realized (thanks to my V600 Sony Headphones) that KI uses a lot of low register sounds. Various rhythms all come together to an effect that's both subtle and complex.
"Ethos 9" brings a jungle sound to the mix, and its bridge still gives me chills: everything but the jungle rhythm is taken away and then that is perforated by a pattern of silent pauses.
"Moved By Air" is the weakest on the CD: more of soundtrack piece, but is somehow a little flat. "Pause in Herbs" has bubbly sounds on top of a more trance like melody (used more as a percussive element).
"Frame Out" is a drum and bass attack that changes as soon as you think the you've figured it out (I like the doppler shifting). "Endless Season" feels sort of endless, and it is the only place the CD feels a little sad; it is a excellent ending track, though.
The two remixes on the domestic release are ok: the Boom Boom Satellites remix is somewhat repetitive and annoying.
All in all, I think Jelly Tones lives up to the myth; some may feel the sound is somewhat dated, but maybe the logarithmic pace of electronic music could use a slow-down, and some past reflection.

Just heard this CD for the first time on Netscape Radio . ........2003-11-28

This CD is "out of this World"; clean, smooth sound, takes you to places you never knew existed; I've never heard a style such as in "Endless Season" . . . its nearly addictive!

Jelly Tones is a damn good CD!.......1999-08-25

Ken Ishii shows us again why he's a master with Jelly Tones. Check out the song EXTRA, it is just pure awesome! And video is just as cool!

His excellent debut........2006-07-21

It is a tragedy of immense proportions that this wonderfully talented and achingly good singer, songwriter and producer was taken from us so young.
His sassy, sexy and emotional style has greater resonance now he has gone.
A beautiful singer with a stunning range of special and delicious songs, now a respectful sadness exudes from this album which is an absolute must have recording.
Rest in perfect peace Lynden and thank you so very much.

RIP LYNDEN DAVID HALL.......2006-03-18

Lynden David Hall was an incredible performer whom recently died this past Valentines day of Hodgekins. If you can get any of his CD's get them. We must keep artist like Lynden alive through their music.

R.I.P. LYNDEN.......2006-02-27

Lynden David Hall (7 May 1974 - 14 February 2006) was a singer, songwriter, arranger, and producer. Born in Wandsworth, South London, he won the 'best newcomer' accolade at the 1998 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards.

In 1999, he was the first UK performer ever voted "Best Male Artist" by the readers of Britain's Blues & Soul magazine. His debut album, Medicine For My Pain, plus the singles Do I Qualify and Sexy Cinderella, had an instant appeal to soul fans in the UK and elsewhere, but it wasn't until his work got the remix treatment that he got his major breakthrough.

Hall appeared in the hit film Love Actually in 2003, where he sang at the wedding of the characters played by Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Two years later, he released his third studio album In Between Jobs on the independent label Random Records.

In 2004, Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He passed away on St. Valentine's Day, 2006, after having lost his battle with the disease at the age of 31.

Complete.......2005-10-31

In this day and age, there are not too many album where by you can let play, and whilst every track might not be a winner, the album itself is just SOOOO good.Thsi is such an album. I intially brought this Album on the strength of the first single,'Sexy Cinderella'. And to be honest I didn't like this CD on first hearing. But it's a grower. I would recommend that you give yourself a week or two to listen to this. It is worth the time and effort.Also thwe subject matter varies from a weird love triangle(The Jimmy Lee story,), social injustice(Livin the Lie). My favourites cuts are, the afore mentioned Sexy Cinderella, I wish I knew,and Yellow in Blue, which is a beautiful song. Enjoy!

My My My My My.......2004-03-18

Stunning. A stunning peice of magic.
Its currently 2003, and about to into 2004 and i'm reviewing this album which was released in 1997.

The voice, the music, the lyrics... just 100% top stuff.

Track 1
Do I Qualify
This sold me the album and it was just the first track. One of the album's corkers if not the best track. Just cool, and funky. The lyrics are great "I may be ugly as sin and he may look like a king"
Excellent. 10

Track 2
Sexy Cinderella
My David Hall's biggest hit. Should be familiar to the more educated music listeners. Its timeless and you won't get bored of this. The voice is once again just so soulful. The beat just goes with the heart. Superb. 10

Track 3
Crescent Moon
"Hold up baby, Hold Up Girl"... are the first words .. and it instantly grips you. The tune is again fantastic. The lyrics are beautiful and honest. Its another great track. 9

Track 4
There Goes My Sanity
How many times have a guy said or thought this. When a girl leaves you with no explination is the theme here. Its the first example of how Lynden sees women as mean and cruel beings, yet us men can't live without them.
"I'm in love and its killing me baby" 8

Track 5
One Hundred Heart Attacks
"I pity the man that loves you, you ain't gonna love him right back, only a fool would need you, like a hundred heart attacks"
That is powerful stuff. Its a track about a woman who you love so much but really is just messing you about. Its a fantastic song. 9

Track 6
Livin' The Lie
Once the tune starts up, I instantly fell in love with this song. Its a song about life and how every day is hard. But faith in god can stop you from livin the lie. Its just a great song. Lyden David Hall is producing such fantastic music. 9

Track 7
The Jimmy Lee Story
Different sounding track but another top top notch one. This song is a story ...which I think you can work out! But its once again about how loving a woman comes at a cost. 10

Track 8
Yellow In Blue
Another beautiful track. The first line is Lynden once again giving his take on relationships, and how shaky starts can strengthen hearts. Its such a cool song. 9

Track 9
I Wish I Knew
A tale of a girl doing us guys wrong. Lynden is wondering how they've lasted this long even though the girl is treating him so wrong and shes knows she is. More powerful stuff. 9

Track 10
Jennifer Smiles
Its a good track but i've been used to fantastic tracks on this album. Its a nice song but not as good as some of the others. 7

Track 11
The title track is a kind of acoustic number. Its such a brillient and emotive song. Its one of those you just stop doing anything and just listen to the words. Its a sad song but so soulful.

Track 12
Do Angels Cry
The best song on the album.
I've got many many many albums and have heard many many many songs in my lifetime... but this may be the most beautiful. The lyrics are just some of the best I have heard. Its simply an acoustic song but just out of this world. Lynden's voice is mesmerizing, and theres almost a sense of sadness about the song.
Its beautiful 10 +

Track 13
There Goes My Sanity [Full Crew Mix}
Not that much different to the original. Nothing particular special.

Track 14
Sexy Cinderella [CandJ Remix]
Cant beat the orginal... they shouldn't have tried!

Overall
One of my favourite albums of all time.
Soulful, beautiful and just damn right fantastic.

The convergence of rave, New Age, and global music cultures in the 1990s gave rise to groups like Medicine Drum, who turn up at Burning Man and Glastonbury, festivals for the spiritual and pagan side of rave culture. Medicine Drum offer the perfect alchemy at these events for losing all consciousness. It involves a heady mixture of electronic rhythms laced with real percussion and pulled aloft by wordless voices from singers Irina Mikhailova (of Ancient Future and Lumin) and Suzanne Sterling. Original Face alternates between anthemic calls to ecstasy, like the title track featuring Mikhailova on vocals, and all-out rhythmic forays like "Katakali," mixing squiggly electronics and electro-acoustic percussion welded to a thudding bass drum beat. It's not as original or cosmic as they want you to think, but it gets the downtempo grooves moving. --John Diliberto

Not bad..........2007-02-27

I bought this to see what Chris Dekker's more recent stuff would sound like. Back in the Goa/Psytrance "heyday" (if there ever was one), I heard a couple of Medicine Drum tracks and was pretty unimpressed... Stuff like "Adios Amoeba" (at least I think that was the name). Very flat sounding, repetitive and boring, or "black and white" as another reviewer described it.

This CD has some of the same problems; the first and a couple of other tracks have that repetitive, uninspired beat and percussion loops that just don't interest me at all.

But some other tracks, the second and a few others, are VERY nice, making me wish he'd stick with their more ambient sound and give the psytrance effort a rest (he's just not very good at it). The ambient tracks feature a lot of chanting and beautiful singing, and I'd love to hear more of that if anyone can recommend another of his albums.

Finally, I deduct points because, just when I was really enjoying my first listen, I came to track 4 and said, "What the f-," as I was suddenly listening to a hip hop track in the middle of my supposedly tribal trance CD. Not even particularly good hip hop, though I guess I might not be the best judge, since I've never heard any particularly good hip hop.

Anyway, I give this about 3.75 stars (for the good ambient stuff), and I'm at least intrigued enough by that to maybe buy another of his CDs in search of the same.

Tribal goodness.......2005-08-24

Though the songs are completely varying (Track 4 blends city traffic and rap; Track 7 is some eastern-sounding harp instrument), they all have a very exotic, trance-like appeal which is perfect for meditation, ritual work, or stalled rush hour traffic. If you aren't a trance or tribal music fan, avoid this album, but it has some great variety and awesome melodic and percussion textures!

Face to Space Medicine.......2003-08-30

This cd was sent to me by mistake.And out of curiosity I decided to give it a listen.Plus!! it features some nice art work on the cover.This is my first experience with techno hypnotic trance music.Medicine Drum is well recorded with nice balance between musical parts.It is also obvious that the musicians are talented but I felt uncomfortable with these mentally stirring sounds of pounding rhythms.So to be fair I borrowed this cd back from my daughter and listened for a second time.This style music can be described in several ways and I found the following songs to be of interest."Original Face" the title track-is a high powered up tempo heart pounding fast paced tribal piece.Lots of explosive percussion/drum mixes.But beware the growling moans being heard in the background.This song has a definite voodoo edge to it."Funk Chakra" introduces us to city sounds of babys crying people talking,horns blowing and general chaos.The musical patterns are reminiscant of chinese myth/folklore music."Katakali" is a rythmic thunderfest of electronic percussion and synthesizers.{but where is the melody}Only good for an aerobic workout."Passage of Time"- features oddly dissenant sounding chord patterns on the piano and not much else of mention in my opinion.Beware while listening to a feeling of being lost or pulled away far away."Ancient Analog" will fill you up with fearfully intense tribal beats.I did some research and found that this music is quite popular in many of the dance clubs/bars in parts of Europe.The vocal parts {chants etc.}are haunting yet hypnotic in their effect.If your into this vocal stuff try Suzzane Sterlings Bhakti CD.Judging music is like judging fine art.What floats one persons boat might sink another persons boat.Sometimes it is black and white with no in between.You either like it or you dont.My final thought: This is one hypnotic trance I want to stay away from. It is all black and white with "no color" Give it a listen if you dare!!

ground breaking "Ethno Trance" creates ultimate experience.......2003-02-20

Just when you thought you heard the best from this group ~ Medicine Drum takes you on a journey of dance, electronic, club, fusion mixed with international sounds from ancient worlds to the future ~ "Original Face", is loaded with nine tracks guaranteed to inspire the psychedelic and ethnic blend in all of us...sure to put you into hypnotic trances.

Cyberoctave Music takes the listener beyond anything they've ever experienced. Our group of musicians Chris Deckker (percussion), Alex Newman (Keyboard), Irina Mikhailova (vocalist), Suzanne Sterling of Bhakti (vocalist), Tevya Jones (a.k.a. Wisdom), Kenji Williams (tech-house outfit ABA Structure), Andy Guthrie and Mark Owens (Eagle Spirit Native American Drum & Dance Group) ~ brings forth "cyber-tribal" sweeping electronica with fusion to spare.

Every cue encompassing a unique sound ~ "ORIGINAL FACE", opening track sends hypnotic vibes through the air, native drums, stirring undertow growls mixed with India vocals decent breaks into percussion as flutes echo a mournful reply ~ "SERALEM", mesmerizing vocals and haunting violin weaves a seamless fabric ~ "KATAKALI", distant cricket chirping as we enter the night sky melodies arise to the occasion ~ "FUNK CHAKRA", crying baby, traffic sounds and crowds speak when hip-hop enters the picture ~ "DUB STREAM", infinity has come upon the scene, sounds of projection fill the dimensions of space ~ "SERPENTS TALE", on the landscape viewing the horizon, desert sands sweeping the plains, melodies prevail within your musical scope ~ "HAIKU", vision waterfalls, sparkling streams as the sun breaks through the clouds bringing sanctuary and meditation ~ "PASSAGE OF TIME", piano chords counter points of percussion repeating themes, as you feel time slipping away ~ "ANCIENT ANALOG", standing on a mountainside looking into life's past, pulsating rhythm sounds of India, Bali and Africa take over and the control is "pure music fantasy", tribal overtones flourishes.

Cyberoctave/Higher Octave once again has taken the listener into another realm of entertainment. If you're craving fiery live percussion mixed with deep basslines and haunting soaring vocals...then this is the one for you. Medicine Drum delivers their best performance to date, in the studio with innovative original rich textured music for and the fan you're soon to be.

I wasn't expecting this.......2003-02-03

It's way too electronica for me. If you like that kind of music you will like this. I was looking for some trancy, earthy stuff. This is way to techno for me. It made me feel like I should wear a plastic Devo hat.

"their second outing for Higher Octave...scores high!".......2001-11-12

Dance, electronic, club, fushion mixed with international blends from countries around the world, spells ~ Medicine Drum...no matter how you break it down, this group will grab you and keep you entertained until the final track on their new CD ~ "Supernature".

This album is the second outing on Higher Octave, their debut album ~ "Talking Stick", released in 1999 was unbelieveable...the groups personnel Chris Dekker, Andy Guthrie and DJ Chrisbo still give the listening audience something to sink their teeth into with "MANDRAGORA", then to the mesmirizing hit "ALPHA RETURN", over four minutes of adrenaline...each selection takes you into another dimension, and you're lovin' every minute of it.

Great music for those into upbeat tribal trance.......2001-09-23

I got goosebumps from "shaman's prayer" when I first heard it . This is the only mellow track on the c.d. The rest transends into fast upbeat trance music with tribal overtones . My favorite track is "siouxpernature". I had never heard of medicine drum until I saw this in the store . I bought it on a hunch and I must must say this exceeded my expectations . For those into trance with a little bit of a tribal vibe I highly recommend this album.
