Inlakesh creates a mystical soundscape with didgeridoos, Tibetan horns, gamelan gongs, and other dreamtime tools. Within the fabric of consciousness, enter the dream. We, the weavers of the web, spin the threads of the interwoven fabric of life. We, the wearers of the mask, wear the mask of intent.

Paul Horn & R Carlos Nakai
The result of ideas planted over a decade ago, this collaboration allows the talents of these two great musicians to shine separately, as well as to blend the tones of Nakai’s Native American flutes and Horn’s alto and C flutes. The recording, done on location at sites as far as twenty miles into the northern Arizona canyon, includes natural sounds - as in Horn’s soprano sax conversation with ravens - but is not enhanced by studio techniques. The result is a mood that’s spacious and simple, reflecting the ageless shelter of a desert canyon.
With the towering cliffs and sky framing canyons of Monument Valley as their stage, flautists Horn and Nakai create a music that is at once intimate and majestic. Wind, thunder, the keening of falcons and even the raucous cries of curious ravens provide counterpoint to their transverse and Native American flutes.
Steve Roach, Michael Stearns & Ron Sunsinger
Kiva, (which represents the unbroken circle of the Earth) consists of three Native ceremonies, plus a fourth created by the band. The CD is divided into these four parts, "East Kiva," "South Kiva," "West Kiva" and "North Kiva" to represent them. With a rich mix of keyboards, synthesizers, Native singing and chanting along with rattles, drums and nature sounds, Kiva portrays powerful ceremonies, such as "East Kiva," with "Calling in the Midnight Water," which is a peyote ceremony. "South Kiva," with "Mother Ayahuasca," which is an Ayahuasca ceremony. "West Kiva," with "Sacrifice, Prayer and Visions," which is a Sundance. "North Kiva," with "Trust and Remember," which Steve, Michael, and Ron created as an Earth ceremony in a cave in northern New Mexico, representing spiritual journeys and transformative experiences as profoundly as I've ever heard. While the music, chanting, and singing are potent talismans representing Native rituals, Kiva goes way beyond being just another CD in that, if you sit, especially with headphones, and let yourself go, it is quite possible to get a "contact" high and take a vision quest of your own. Quite simply, Kiva is powerful medicine.” - MusicBank

Ruben Romero & Robert Tree Cody
"The last time nuevo flamenco guitarist Ruben Romero and Native American flutist and vocalist Robert Tree Cody collaborated, they produced the Native American Music Award Best Latin Album and Best World Album for 1999. Now, these award-winning musicians have done it again. Working together with a brotherhood of talented artists, Romero and Cody have created Native Brotherhood, a fascinating glimpse into the excitement that cultural fusion can generate. This album blends the music of two cultures: Native American instruments with sultry Latin rhythms. With Romero's easy and graceful playing, the complexities of the flamenco line never sound fussy or strained. Cody's masterful and evocative flute plays like a warm breeze over mountains. Complemented by the considerable musicianship of Carolyn Muller, Dan Namingha, and Ronald Roybal, each track unfolds as a dialogue between the voices. The rapport between the artists is evident as their disparate styles merge together. The opening track "Three Rivers" is a liquid junction of flamenco, Native American, and contemporary music flowing seamlessly into one another. Cody's wonderful singing introduces the plaintive "Gentle Wind"; Romero's love of Spain is evident in the rich imagery of "Postcard from Seville." The lyrical interplay of guitar, flute, and voice draws upon Old World Spanish influences and Native American resonances and results in a daring and successful collaboration." - New Age Voice.
