| This is NOT just your ordinary Native American flute music. One of the earliest and still the best of the Coyote Oldman recordings, "Thunder Chord" is a haunting evocation of the timeless, of dimensions beyond the visible. Powerfully transcendental, this tape has been used to help AIDS and cancer patients find their own timeless core of Self. "Coyote Oldman" was originally two performers: Michael Graham Allen, who reconstructs and plays archoelogical flutes of the Americas; and Barry Stramp, who mixed and digitally processed Allen's flute music. No synthesizers or samplers are used on this or previous Coyote Oldman recordings. Indeed, it was Stramp's genius with the digital recombining of Allen's flute playing that gave Thunder Chord its other-worldly beauty. Oldman after Stramp is pleasant, occasionally strong, but much more pedestrian. Thunder Chord is Coyote Oldman at its very best. HIGHLY recommended! |
