Be prepared to enter another world,

"especially if you play it LOUD. The digeridoo, the world's most simply constructed instrument (but not the most easy to play), is felt as much as it is heard. The liner notes explain how Thomas performs this music for deaf children. The sound is so rich, it vibrates the air, the floor, the walls, and your mind. I find it very cleansing and often do yoga to it. The one criticism I have is that some of the percussion playing does not keep up an even time. For any other type of music this would be disasterous, but for here it is acceptable because it only enhances the primal nature of this music. Primal, but not without sophistication. It may scare the kids and the dog at first, but they will get used to it."

Solid Interesting enough didje with serenity and focus

"This seems one of those standby cd's. It is excellent in its devoted feeling didjing and the recording quality is tops. I feel like I can put it on and not have any complaints about it. I just received it about a week ago. The first listen was hmmm...nothing striking, but then I started to love and appreciate it more. Nothing gets in the way of its simple, well done and innocent feeling sharing, and it doesn't sound produced in a take anyone sort of studio. There is a humility and care to the music. I like to balance it with the more middle of an Aborigine ceremony, mystical sense of Gunyal by D. Hudson."

"This is an excellent CD! It was not quite as good as I was expecting, but it was good and solid. This instrument has a way of penetrating right to your soul, and Gary Thomas makes sure it takes the express train to get there."
