"What can you say about Douglas Spotted Eagle and his music, soulful, moving, touching. I have been enjoying Native American music for years now, and this fine musician is on the top of all the music I have collected. His CD "Pray" is probably the only other CD that surpasses this one. If you love Native American music, or simply great soul food music, try Douglas Spotted Eagle in your diet."
Native and New Age well blended

"Though the two "Sacred Spirit" CD's continue to be my favorite AmerInd music, this one is almost equally well done. Spotted Eagle's flute provides the leading motif on all the tracks, joined by muted drums, traditional chant (as in "Bii'saao'beh" and "Brother, Father, Warrior, Son"), and contemporary European instruments. Most are slow and contemplative, but "House Made of Dawnlight" makes me imagine dancers moving lightly over grass (perhaps Native pixies, if there are such things), and "Little Ritual," with its deep-toned male-chorus chanting, sounds like just that. I'll be looking for more CD's by this artist."
Music that aids Your journey.

"Douglas Spotted Eagles' Closer to Far Away album is one filled with music that aids one on their journey, whether it be a healing journey, one of introspection, one of dreaming or any other personal journey. His music strikes a chord and keeps on striking deeper and deeper if you open yourself up to it."
Very relaxing, I like the whole CD

"I had been looking for native american chants and also some soothing music to listen to. Wandering around the store looking at covers wasn't any help. I happened upon this CD and with the aid of other reviewers here and also being able to listen to parts of a few songs here, decided to buy. I enjoy the entire CD (rare for me). I've found that I don't want a whole CD of chants now. This CD shouldn't offend anyone's ears, it is so easy to listen to."
