Search - Stonecoat :: Native Trance

This is much more "newage" than "world".

""Native trance" is similar to but not as intense or dance driven as Sacred Spirits or Spirit Nation. Despite it's name it is not a Native American trance/techno cd like Medicine Drum either.Although bearing *some* resemblences to Douglas Spotted Eagle this is very contemporary instrumental music with a very newage but not ambient style (e.g. It isn't deep, dreamy or etherial). The thing is, one can't tell right away that it's nessicarily Native American inspired music except from the flutes maybe. Really, it could incoorperate any culture into the music and still sound pretty much the same. It's great backround music as I find it quite easy to tune out since it is very subdued and light. There isn't a whole lot of emotion or "soul" to the music so don't expect it to "move" you much like Spirit Nation would.Although this album is far from bad or clumsy, there isn't anything about it that really stands out."
