"I got goosebumps from "shaman's prayer" when I first heard it . This is the only mellow track on the c.d. The rest transends into fast upbeat trance music with tribal overtones . My favorite track is "siouxpernature". I had never heard of medicine drum until I saw this in the store . I bought it on a hunch and I must must say this exceeded my expectations . For those into trance with a little bit of a tribal vibe I highly recommend this album."

"Dance, electronic, club, fushion mixed with international blends from countries around the world, spells ~ Medicine Drum...no matter how you break it down, this group will grab you and keep you entertained until the final track on their new CD ~ "Supernature". This album is the second outing on Higher Octave, their debut album ~ "Talking Stick", released in 1999 was unbelieveable...the groups personnel Chris Dekker, Andy Guthrie and DJ Chrisbo still give the listening audience something to sink their teeth into with "MANDRAGORA", then to the mesmirizing hit "ALPHA RETURN", over four minutes of adrenaline...each selection takes you into another dimension, and you're lovin' every minute of it.Total Time: 50:51 on 8 Tracks ~ Higher Octave COCO-50770 ~ (2001)"
I wasn't expecting this

"It's way too electronica for me. If you like that kind of music you will like this. I was looking for some trancy, earthy stuff. This is way to techno for me. It made me feel like I should wear a plastic Devo hat."
Awsome beats, great tunes and a unique style

"I first found a couple of tracks of this CD on Napster (you know, that mp3 thing?) well, I really liked what I had heard and started seeking out this CD. It's a lot harder to find this in real life then one would imagine. Well, I found it and havnt regretted the 45$ purchase yet. The songs on this album are typically long (around 7 to 8 minutes) and each tune holds its' own weight. If your looking for a decent trance/tribal beat, this is it. I've played this CD for my roommates (who normally dont listen to trance) and it won them over to this side of music. I give this CD a five out of five because even though it was so hard to find (and expensive) it was well worth it."
