 A layer to add to nature, too September 26, 2006

Normally I only consider reviewing something if no one else has done a reasonable review, and for this recording there are plenty good and accurate descriptions and endorsements for this album. In the other reviews I saw, there is talk about its use in places with massage, meditation, yoga, as well as at home to relax and so forth. I found that it is also a great replacement for most other kinds of music one may play when out camping or otherwise in nature. It can blend into nearly any outdoor moment so the part of our brain that is accoustomed to hearing a background of played music will be sated and the rest of the mind can open to the nature you are in at the moment. So if you're the kind of person that likes being in nature, give it a try in that setting.
Of all the Nakai recordings I have tried, this is my favorite.
Oh yea, and I saw a person review to say it was "boring, boring, boring" - it can get that reaction for sure if a listener's sonic taste palette cannot appreciate selections in the realm of ambient, new age, or native american flute, specifcally. So it goes. Meanwhile, this is one CD for which I get a lot of positive reactions from people that hear it for the first time.

I purchased this CD at the airport in Phoenix. Living in the big city of Detroit; Carlos has no idea what type of mystical magic he has composed. Its tranquil sounds not only "Take me back" to the Arizona's aura and days of OLE', they also help me escape the drudgery of city life in general. The canyon sounds amplify all my western experiences!
In harmony with the land and the spirit May 29, 1999

Cradled by land, lifted by the wind, commune with the spirits. Using a single instrument Nakai transports you into his world. Partake, feel the peace, the power, know that there is more present than you can see, than you can hear. Close your eyes and let your mind build a picture of the places in the songs. Expand your imagination, it's a big land. One of only a few artists who can paint a tonal picture grand enough to by the land of the Big Sky and the Grand Canyon. Words are really inadequate to describe what I'm hearing.

This CD is truly music for one's soul. Close your eyes and simply allow these harmonic tones to take you into a world of relaxation and beauty. It is a journey that you will enjoy every time you play this disc.

Of all the many CD's I own, from classical to pop rock to New Age, this is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard! Uplifting, ethereal, and soul-expanding, I recommend it highly.
