Spirit Keepers

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Synthesist John Serrie creates an enchanting electronic landscape of cosmic ambience under which the flute work of John Winter Hawk Johnson sings and soars. Serrie masterfully conjures the setting of a Native mystical universe while such guests as Tom Walks in Dreams Goodman and others chant and speak the languages of their ancestors. The effect is soothing and wondrous: shakers jangle in and out of swaths of synth while deep full accent drums beat on and timeless voices whisper across the starry sky. Though Native purists may find the programming of Serrie a little too precious, Serrie fans and those interested in ambient or space music will find spiritual solace in his expansive take on traditional Native American music. --Karen K. Hugg

Space Music goes Native! A superb blending of two bedrock New Age genres..........2002-07-19

First off, I'll be blunt. This is not a Native American album. This is a full-force Space Music album, with Native American themes. So if you expect the former, you probably will be disappointed. Me? I was very pleased with the results, and have listened to this album many, many, many times since I first discovered it will doing radio at KSVR-FM in Washington State.

"The Lovers" and "Grandfather Speaks" are especially enjoyable, evoking tremendous imagery and using Serrie's masterful synthesizer strokes combined with Native American spoken word, as well as critically-placed guitar notes and other, sometimes more eclectic instrumental punctuation.

In many ways this album dovetails nicely with Steve Roach & Roger King's forlorn "Dust to Dust", and I've enjoyed myself on lengthy drives through the Western United States playing this album and "Dust to Dust" interleaved. They each evoke the haunting and sometimes tragic spirits of the Old West, and I can seldom listen to one without immediately wanting to hear the other.

A Great Blend of What Jonn knows best &Native American Music.......2001-12-04

I've been a long time fan of Jonn's space music. This is a great blend of what he knows best and the blending of Native American music. If you meditate, this will take you to the realm of Native American spirituality.

Took a little time.......2000-08-19

I would have been more prepared for this c.d. if I had first gotten my expectations out of the way. "Wind Walker", the third track, was the only piece that immediately appealed to me with its rich, upbeat nature and keyboard dominant melody. Otherwise, I was extremely disappointed with the Native American themed c.d. at first. It wasn't until after several listenings that I was able to begin to appreciate the rest of the c.d. Now I am able to listen to the c.d for what it is without wishing for the "old" Jonn Serrie. Anyway, I'm sure the "old" Jonn Serrie will be back in due time.

The Best of His Best!.......2000-08-19

I first heard Jonn on a collection of Native American music. I had to buy this CD for the musical content. I was not disappointed by this or his other wonderful CD's.

If you can feel music in your soul and have it lift you, then this is for you. Jonn will give you strength and balance.

Meditate, soul search, or just listen to this fine CD and you will be sold on Jonn's deep routed talents.

Boring-Boring-Boring.......2000-01-17

I dont know if I should be drinking or getting stoned to keep up with the other reviewers but this CD is horrible...I have heard so many better artists that mix Native American.. I cant belive this CD, lucky for me I was able to return it.

Spirit Free.......2000-07-13

This CD had a very strong effect on me as I listened. I don't know a lot about Native American music or spirituality, but, as I listened, the music freed my spirit to the point where I was able to drum and dance like I was in a Native American ceremony. This was very exciting to me as I am usually quite reserved. Something in the lyrics, flute and drumming reached my soul, and when it did a flame was lit. It seems as this CD along with selected others are a part of my journey. I was meant to hear this, I mean really hear this to the point of feeling this. This is a great one.
