"Join the wilds of Brazil & the hearts of an indiginous people. The Emerald Forest Soundtrack is as open as the native villages in Brazil. Its pulsing rythms and passionate folk melodies transport the listener to another land, wild and reckless--a rainforest jungle."

On the wings of an eagle....

"As old as the film is at this point, somehow the soundtrack never seems to be outdated. By far one of the best New Age albums I own. Junior Homrich excelled at combining native instruments with etheral synthesizing that is evocative and dream-like. The visuals he attempts to represent with his music come through in a way that the listener will feel transported to misted rainforests, through the eyes of a bird of prey that is the spirit animal of Tome, Charlie Boorman's character.No amount of description can truly honor what Homrich is able to do with his compositions. They are surreal, abstract compositions that impart an opiate experience, clouded dreams of virgin rainforest and mystical shamans. Even if you have not seen the film, the soundtrack can stand on its own and will no doubt soon become an integral part of your cd collection, as it has for mine."

"As a dance instructor, I'm always looking for different types of music. This soundtrack has several inspiring dance tracks, regardless if you're interested in modern, jazz, or ballet dance. And kids love the tribal rhythms."
