| The musical story that unfolds on this CD reflects David & Steve Gordon's inspiration from Native-American spirituality and global indigenous shamanism. We offer this fictional story as an archetype of a shaman who journeys into the spirit world seeking healing for the Earth and its people. Sacred Spirit Drums is a musical representation of such a shamanic journey. Each song uses particular instruments, melodies and rhythms which evoke the experience of the different parts of the journey and the wisdom found there.
Native-American Flute and Incan Pan Pipe melodies soar over Tribal Drums from around the world, Guitars, Keyboards and Nature Sounds (with Wolf, Eagle, Coyote and Humpback Whale). Following up their bestseller Sacred Earth Drums, the Gordons take you deeper into their healing Shamanic journey to the heart of rhythm. Feel the compelling beat of Mother Earth - move your body and join the dance for the reverence of life! |

What people are saying about Sacred Spirit Drums:
'The Gordon's are back, this time with an even more melodic, magical, danceable story about a shaman's journey into the spirit world to find a way to heal Earth and its people. While there are elements of Sacred Earth Drums here, you'll hear more trance/dance beats and a lot more acoustic and electric guitar. As hard as it may be to believe, Sacred Spirit Drums is even better than Sacred Earth Drums. These ten tracks take the listener on a mystical shamanic journey in search of a healing vision. Each superb track flows seamlessly into the next. I can say without hesitation that if you're willing to really get into Sacred Spirit Drums, you will come away with a vision or two of your own. Evocative, mysterious, sensual and profoundly healing, Sacred Spirit Drums is a release to love.'

'The Gordon's have juiced up the tribal groove. Their melodies are prettier and their rhythms more compelling!'
- Billboard Magazine
'A healing shamanic journey to the source of all tribal rhythms, this excellent release is a seamless blending of music, nature sounds, and deliciously creative hand drumming that will have you dancing in your seat. World, Eagle, Coyote, and other powerful indigenous voices lead one ever closer to he beating heart of Mother Earth. Bridging the natural world and human existence is the Gordons musical gift, and here their evocative instrumentals transcend even their own benchmark recording Sacred Earth Drums, which has become a perennial bestseller.'
- P. J. Biroisik - Nationally Syndicated Music Columnist
'David and Steve Gordon are back with a follow up to their popular Sacred Earth Drums. Once again we find a sweet mix of nature sounds, drums, flutes, and synthesizers. The set easily lends itself to meditation, or as background music for gentle exercises such as tai chi, stretching, or low-impact movements. Could be used as background music at work, and its also pleasant enough to enjoy while engaged in some pleasant social activity such as dinner or conversation with friends.'
- New Age Voice, March '96
'The multi-instrumentalist musical team of the Gordon brothers follow their success of Sacred Earth Drums with another winner featuring more innovative "Earthbeat" music. Fusing the essence of Native American Indian music with sophisticated New Age electronics, their latest exotic excursion is highlighted by an inspiring percussive word beat. Between the two of them, a wondrous array of musical instruments effortlessly merge and compound into a sonic tribal brew. The brothers fascination with rhythmic compositions of Indigenous Peoples is directly linked to their solid reputation as successful proponents of a wide variety of meditative sound environments. And the beat goes on.'
- Robert Silverstein, Time and a Word, Winter '95 - '96
'I love their music and how I thank God for such highly talented people who think enough of themselves to be able to share their gifts with the rest of us... you guys cover it all.'
- Judi Mead
'Its at the top of my play list, great, relaxing and mind clearing.'
- C.J. Whitney
'David and Steve Gordon bring an astounding sensitivity and truth to their Shamanic drumming - a new fusion of spirituality between the essence of Native American music and New Age ambient that has it's own kind of originality with emphasis on the trance inducing drumming. As I listened to this music, I repeatedly had the image of Indians dancing together in a long snaking column through a deep primordial forest... who knows what ancient truth this magical music will stimulate for you.'
