From Amazon.com
Nakai's free improvisations on this album are based on his impressions of the Anasazi and Sinagua sites, ancient cliff dwellings that were home to communities of Native people thousands of years ago. By using the Roland SDE 3000 Digital Delay system, Nakai is able to play duets with his own echo, in an effort to emulate the echoes of the past that haunt these ruins. On this recording, Nakai's flute sounds even more plaintive than usual, as if the spirits of these forgotten ancestors had entered into the studio to fill his playing with the whispered reverberations of their ancient ways. This is one of Nakai's most deeply felt recordings, one that resonates with a deep, melancholy yearning. --j. poet

North American flute music to melt away the modern world November 8, 2001
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Finding myself the proud new owner of a hand-made Navajo pipe, I hunted around for some music to inspire me. It wasn't long before I came across the extraordinary works of R Carlos Nakai. If ever there was a pure stream of music straight from the gods, this is it. And if you're looking for something to drain away stress faster than melting snow on a hot carburettor, then you've found the right man. In a simple, fluid and soothingly resonant melodic line, Nakai draws you into his world of "inward musings and dreamscapes" inspired largely by ancient Anasazi and Sinagua sites in south-western USA. Using modern recording techniques to simulate the echoing ambience of canyons and valleys, Nakai exploits his extraordinary talent and innate spiritual sensitivities to full extent. Listen to this CD in the bath, in bed, while meditating or even while washing up, but whatever you do don't listen to it in the car. It's seriously mesmerising. Oh, and one more word of warning. Don't buy this CD if you're on a tight budget, because once you've listened to this twice, you'll want to buy the entire collection. Have a nice bath!
