Comments

Native American chants against a backdrop of music ranging from mellow relaxation sound to more energetic pieces not dissimilar to early Deep Forest to the Enigma-like "Yeha-Noha". You can't go past the sheer poetry of song names like "Yo-Hey-O-Hee" or "Shamanic Chant No. 5". A great world music release - it's not surprising some of these tracks have found their way onto various compilations.

This would be eminently useful as a destressing tool. Also part of the album price goes to the Native American Rights Fund.
