5 out of 5 stars A Music With Soul and Depths.......2003-12-29

What happened to Narada? It was one of the best New Age labels that produced quality output,supported some truly talented artists,and delighted music lovers everywhere(Early David Lanz, John Doan,etc....)
Nearly all the CDs of Peter Buffett,one of their most talented artists are deleted!! It is a great shame indeed, for it deprives new listeners of a very rich and melodic music that is a joy to the senses.New Age nowadays has fallen on really bad times! even musicians like David Lanz have gone all commercial,(to the extent that will make Richard Clyderman and John Tesh really proud), but there are also others like Peter Buffett who have given the genre a whole new and more sophisticated meaning.
Electronic music can be quite misleading..there is a thin line between cheesy elevator tunes and serious stuff,and Peter Buffet falls squarely in the latter category.Not since the times of Tangerine Dream's Ricochet and Stratosfear, had electronic music gave me so much listening pleasure than with the compositions of Buffett. They are very well structured original melodies, with powerful beats, and flavoured with a Native American atmosphere.Spirit Dance is still available, so grab it before it follows the others, and you will experience a music with lots of soul and depths..and try to search for Buffett's other output..they are masterpieces from a very talented musician that sadly is hugely underrated and nearly forgotten.

5 out of 5 stars Great blend of Native American and New Age.......2002-09-14

This CD is such an amazing blend of New Age ambient grooves with strong Native American sounds incorporated. Some of the tracks don't really belong on here IMO. Track 6 aka Celebration song has static sounds that are a bit grating and is mostly something I'd hear at a pow-wow. While I love hearing that kind of music when I'm actually at a pow-wow I'm not particularly fond of hearing it on CD. Not a bad track though. The weak spots on here are made up for by powerful tracks like Hidden Heritage, Death Song, The Place Where The Crying Begins & Dreams. Hiddne Heritage in my opinion deserves attention because while it's a gorgeous song the thing that makes it a shining star on this CD is because a voice mentions the names of tribes from all over the country. You'll hear names like Omaha, Iroquois(I'm of Iroquois descent), Kickapoo, Erie, and numerous other tribes. There are over a hundred tribes mentioned in this song. One of the best songs on this CD. The other track that in my opinion stands out is The Place Where The Crying Begins. This track to me is another favorite with a very dark, melancholy atmosphere with a haunting, ghostly choir that gives me the chills. I just love the electric guitars in the song. Spirit Dance may not be as consistant as lets say, Yonnondio or 500 Nations but it's a worthy album of owning.

5 out of 5 stars Spirit Dance.......2001-02-21

Great blend of jazz and Native American music. Two cultures accent each other and create material that educates the mind and stimulates your senses. The video( Spirit Dance)adds visual that lets you see the flow of energy through everyone involved.

5 out of 5 stars THIS ALBUM RULES.......2000-03-04

I'm no fan of the guy nor any of his other stuff (I don't know I haven't heard it) but I saw the green bay performance on PBS and I was inspired... everyone to whom it would pretain (1st Nation People, Hippies, People living in a town, county, or state with a name of native american origion)should own at least one copy of this album.

5 out of 5 stars Meaningful Music.......2000-01-12

Until I heard this music (on the PBS special), I had not been into Indian music. I purchased the CD immediately, and it's now what I put on when I want to feel inspired. The drumming is compelling; it inspires me to dance. More than once, it has moved me to tears.
