"After about 4 years of what seemed to be a long break, AH*NEE*MAH returns with their latest divine offering. "Ancient Visions" embarks its listeners on a splendid musical journey with visions of these magnificent soundscapes and alluring feelings of brightness and peace. This marvelous album is a collaborative effort of Diane Arkenstone and David Arkestone, two very gifted composers and multi-instrumentalists. Using beautiful instrumentation--comprised mainly of keyboards, flutes, guitars, drums and percussions--to create these subtle, interwoven Native American beats, Diane and David bedazzle the senses with pleasing haunting melodies, such as "Canyon Echoes" and "This Sacred Land"--my two favorite compositions in this album. "Shaman's Dream" is a masterpiece of creativity. It features a pair of echoing flutes, captivating those listening in with their enchanting dialogues. And "Sun Circle" started it all with its breathtaking and energetic sounds. Diane and David have done a wonderful job in creating this magical journey. This album is musically stunning and radiant. It is highly recommended!"
