"I bought Shelley Snow's CD Shamaneya about a year or so ago and I love it! Though reminiscent of Loreena McKennit and Enya, I like that Shelley is courageous enough to do her own thing. Her music is deep, flowing and gentle. Her own language richly evocative. With each song I am carried through feeling worlds, places I need to go to. I find she is borrowing from rich traditions, the use of music as an important conveyor of her vision as an artist while also being delightful to listen to, and borrowing from women's traditions such as Jodi Foster's 'Nell', a gentle intuitive wildness in us all that needs to be expressed in the world. I think this album is for anyone ready to explore these worlds through this gentle muse, and is for anyone who wants to connect and be carried by the soft, gentle flow. Calming and inspiring."
