Native Healing

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The fifth installment in the Sound Healing Series from Soundings of the Planet, Native Healing links label icon Dean Evenson (flute, digital horn, keyboard) with Cha-das-ska-dum Which-ta-lum, a now-deceased spiritual elder of the Lummi Nation in the Pacific Northwest. Cha-das-ska-dum's chanting, delivered in an earnest baritone, is the 62-minute disc's most prominent feature, giving Native Healing its unmistakable tribal flavor. Cha-das-ska-dum adorns his Native American chants with modest ceremonial drumming and a few embellishments from his wife Marguerite and daughter April (native flute, voicings). Evenson, aided by guitarist Scott Huckabay and violinist Swil Kanim, frames these elements within serene sound fields, evoking moods of rumination and relaxation. The formula works best when Cha-das-ska-dum's voice assumes a more egalitarian role with Evenson, Huckabay, and Kanim, as occurs on the mystical "Lost Tracks" and the disc's two concluding selections. Evenson also shines on "Cedar Flute Love Song," a hushed solo piece that slowly articulates the beauty of dawn's early light. Native Healing has a relaxed flowing quality to it that should appeal to fans of both atmospheric and native music. --Terry Wood

Beautiful Native American Music.......2006-03-01

This is the most centering/grounding of all the Indian drumming, chanting, and instrumental music I've listened to. It's relaxing and sometimes even somewhat haunting. But the spiritual tone will resonate through your soul and revive and strengthen your spirit.

Wonderfully soothing music!.......2001-07-27

This is a very calming and centering cd. The chants have a soothing and calming quality, and the background ambient music fits perfectly with the chants. I often hear for several hours in a row, and I feel more at peace, more centered. What better recommendation can one give?

I like the ambient background music, but not the chanting.......2001-06-16

This CD was disappointing to me. I bought it after hearing one song from these guys on a "Planet Chant" compilation CD. On the piece chosen for Plant Chant, Primeaux and Mike's chanting has a trance-provoking, ethereal quality to it. However, on Sacred Path, I did not find most of the chants to have this quality. Many of the chants on Sacred Path have a repetitiveness that becomes quite annoying after a bit. I realize that repetition is the hallmark of chanting, but I did not find the repetition of these chants to have a healing affect on me. In fact, I found some of them to be downright unpleasant. On the other hand, I did like the ambient music played behind each piece. It had a gentle and more relaxing quality than the chanting on me. Botton line on this CD: Upon repeated listenings, I find the chanting just does not work to provide me with relaxation, but the ambient background music does. Unfortunately, the chanting negates any effect the ambient background music has on me. I would not recommend this CD for relaxation purposes.

mysteriously peaceful music.......2001-02-13

This is the only CD that I own at present by these singers. There is something almost mysterious about it. When I play it last thing at night I have the best sleep of all & feel very rested the next day. Each track blends together to make a lovely sound. I really would recommend it to anyone who finds it hard to relax. Any suggestions for my next CD by Primeaux & Mike?

Spiritual Healing.......2001-02-10

In listening to this music, you feel touched by the Creator. Although good to hear anytime,these sacred chants are especially a gift when you feel alone, in a hurting space or in a "dark" time. The voices are soothing, comforting,and nurturing, bringing the "Presence" to touch your heart. Reverence, humility and healing will embrace you as you hear it. A must have.

Customer Reviews:

Drum Prayer is out of this world !.......2002-12-26

Wow ! This new release from Steve Gordon is really exceptional. I got it as a gift for the holidays and it just blew my mind. The orchestration and exotic insturments are amazing and the blend of vocals with chants from around the world really creates a trencendent sound. I've been blissed out for the past several hours and can't stop playing it. Spectacular and highly recommended !

Drum Prayer made me feel an akin-ship to the whole world........2002-11-13

I've never written a review before, but when I heard this album, I felt compelled to write my feelings down of what it invoked and share them with someone. I've hardly listened to much native sounding music, but this album is much more contemporary and it reached a place in me I didn't know I had. I just sat there and rocked with the rhythms. Drum Prayer made me feel an akin-ship to the whole of the world. I didn't know what the words meant when listening the first couple of times, I just got into the instrumentation and vocals., They were so joyful, so soothing and visionary that I was compelled to at last read the liner notes. The Sanskrit, Tibetan and Lakota chants added to the native drums, flute and guitar are so well woven together, I can't imagine how it could have been done any better. I have played this album countless times already and enjoy it every time. My favorite track is `Holding the Vision'. I highly recommend this album.

Drum Prayer is entrancing.......2002-11-05

I find this new release by Steve Gordon to be exquisite and perfect for massage, yoga, tantra and ecstatic dance. The blending of diverse instruments and sacred devotional chants are absolutely entrancing, making it exceptionally easy to slip deeply into an exhalted state of bliss. The vocals are particularly beautiful. I have really been a fan of Steve's previous work with both his brother David and Deborah Martin, and with the release of Drum Prayer I feel that he's really outdone himself. I absolutely love it.

Drum Prayer Gets High Praises.......2002-10-23

This new solo project release from Steve Gordon is exceptional. A real groundbreaking piece of work for the genre, combining a variety of nature sounds and indigenous instruments from around the world, with chants for world peace from several different cultures including Lakota, Sanskrit and Tibetian. This recording melds all of these apparently diverse cultural aspects and sounds together into a delightfully inspiring and unified mix of ancient shamanic rhythms and contemporary world-beat music. Gordon has assembled a virtual host of top artists for this release, including brother David on piano, vocalists Jaya Lakshmi (Lost at Last), Lakshami Devi and Laurie Lovecraft as well as percussionists Girish Gambhira and Kim Atkinson and the amazing Sarod playing of Wynne Paris, with Digeridoo provided by Peter Van Gorder and additional electric guitar and synthesizer tracks from Spotted Peccary Music's Howard Givens. Drum Payer is brilliantly uplifting while still remaining entrancingly relaxing allowing the listener to explore uncharted expanses of this new and vivid sonic realm. The vocals are sensational and incredibly serene. The CD has been playing in the background of my home office for the past several days and each new listen reveals something new and deeper in the mix. Truly an extraordinary work deserving of the highest praise. Drum Prayer is an absolute winner !

DRUM PRAYER - STEVE GORDON.......2002-10-14

"As a nature enthusiast, I enjoy relaxing outside, reading a good book and listening to "earthy" music that gives me inner peace. That music is DRUM PRAYER by Steve Gordon. This title is a blend of contemporary world beats and ancient sounds with a flavor of sacred chants. I love the jazz/spanish guitar, feathery flutes, native drums and the ambient dance grooves. This is a winner...a 5 Star!!!" Jeananne/Fullerton, CA

Great listening music.......2006-07-11

The Gordons know how to relax you. Great listening pleasure with a light Native American touch. This particular CD spans their music career from there previous CD's plus 3 new ones.

20 Years of Sacred Musical Vision.......2002-12-27

What a gift ! I feel incredibly fortunate to have been given the gift of the Gordon's 20th anniversary compilation album Sacred Drum Visions from my wife for the holidays. It is trully an exceptional collection and likely my favorite of the all the Gordon's releases thus far, as it contains many of the best tracks from their incredible highly-acclaimed native music series including Sacred Earth Drums, Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine as well as 3 magnificent new tracks. The Gordon brothers music has really evolved in a number of unique ways over the years. And though their music stems from a native American influence it artfully combines sounds and instumentation from many indigenous cultures from around the world, making their sound trully universal; and this clearly shines through in this compilation. Perhaps the best thing about this particular release is the perfectly sequenced flow of each track into the next creating a sonic journey that reaches back in time and trancends the mundane world taking the listener on a journey of the Spirit and the Imagination. The 3 new tracks are really exceptional gems. I particularly like Faithkeeper Part I, which opens the CD and Light of the Canyon, the jewel within the center of these tracks. This CD is far more than a retrospective of the Gordon's amazing body of work, it is a powerful, transformative and healing musical journey of the heart. I highly recommend it.

Quiet, contemplative, and unhurried, Prayer for Peace sustains a fittingly reflective mood as it samples music from eight artists and 15 previously released Silver Wave recordings. The label specializes in music that intertwines Native American and contemporary instrumental elements, and the assembled talent here---flutist R. Carlos Nakai, pianist Peter Kater, vocalist Joanne Shenandoah, plus a single selection from Robert Mirabal--showcase the affecting, organic appeal of such an approach. Label cornerstones Nakai and Kater evoke some of the disc's most thoughtful moments in eloquent ensemble pieces such as "I Will Fight No More" and "If Men Were at Peace" (the latter featuring Paul McCandless on soprano saxophone and cellist David Darling), and Shenandoah's unforced, crystalline vocalese can inspire stillness and quiet. Chanting is a minimal element on this disc. Sales of the recording are intended to benefit the World Peace Prayer Society. --Terry Wood

'May Peace Prevail on Earth'.......2001-09-26

After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, this album is more poignant than ever. A beautifully, soothing soundscape with a decidedly Native American bent. Prayer For Peace showcases today's top Native musician's: Robert Mirabal, Joanne Shenandoah, Mary Youngblood, R. Carlos Nakai & many more. Proceeds benefit The World Peace Prayer Society and the message is clear...

This is a wonderful compilation of Native American music. Each piece reflects on Inner Peace and the need for Peace and Prayer in our lives. Some of the best Native American musical talent is featured ont his CD, making it one of the best-ever compilation CDs available. By focusing on peace, the tunes are reflective, thoughtful and very lyrical.
