Beautiful.....peaceful.......2007-04-17

it is worth the listening.
I do recommend this music and
believe you will enjoy as I do.

Aural Landscape of the Desert.......2005-03-08

Those coyotes are beautiful... for those of us who don't live in the desert but respect it and understand it, this CD is a joy to submerse oneself into.

Like another reviewer, I was given this CD by an old friend and it took me years to appreciate it. It literally took me a decade before I listened to it all the way through. I've been more of a Steve Roach person myself, whose "Artifacts" is a pioneering work about the desert as well.

But there is something different with Evenson's interpretation: it's calmer, more relaxing, like a light shower that breaks into golden sunlight, revealing rainbows and birds. A little utopian at that, but the music does a wonderful job of promoting a nice feeling.

My favorite tracks are Desert Moon, which takes place at the Hour of the Wolf. It invokes the images of coyotes and night-stars and a slowly moving Harvest moon; and Desert Dawn...the music here is programmatic (the whole album is programmatic) in that it musically describes the zodiac light gently hugging the horizon, and slowly recrudescing into white, fading all traces of dark blues and blacks of the sky away.

Other tracks stand out, but the album as a whole is very well done. Not for all tastes, of course, and it took me a while to fully enjoy it. But I don't regret that.

One of the most relaxing CD's ever........2001-09-07

While you may need to have experienced the desert, in real life, to fully appreciate the sounds of this selection, it is truly a great CD to relax to. If ever it were possible to totally lose yourself in music, this would have to present a great opportunity to accomplish that.

This is also a great CD for lovers of Native American Music, and I can say only one CD in that genre, has moved me more.

As an amusing finish to these comments....my sibling poodle puppies listen intently to this CD when it is played....as though commanded by the sounds of the desert played. They lisen to no CD more intently.

Stirring Images.......2000-06-16

This album represents a certain type of new-age music thatreally appeals to me. It's a melding of instrumental and naturalsounds. When it's done right, it can transport you to a certain place and time. Evenson manages quite well here. Neither the instruments nor the natural undercurrent are overwhelming. It's peaceful. And whether you want some nice background to enhance a work or play environment, or you just want to space-out with headphones, this music will do the trick. In particular, the harp does very well in this CD, maintaining a very sharp expectation in "Evensong", and I always look forward to this track as I play the album through. Personally, I think the first and third tracks could be better. Overall, very high marks. You'll get a lot of use out of this one.

Like an enticing massage---.......1999-11-29

---it winds it's way into my subconscious.

A friend gave me this album several years ago and it keeps getting played, now probably more than 200 times, way more than any other. Sometimes I crave it. When I'm in my office in the eveing, working on a project, Desert Moon Song provides the perfect company. It takes my subconscious away from minute distractions, and creativity seems to flow.
