"Closer To
Far Away"
Brian
Keane first became familiar with Native American flautist Douglas
Spotted Eagle while recording his critically acclaimed score to
the Burns film "The Way West". When
Spotted Eagle was signed with Windham Hill, he requested that
Brian produce his record. Recorded on location in Utah, the CD
combines many Native American musicians with modern orchestrations,
and of course, Spotted Eagle's emotional flute playing. The CD
was mixed in Utah as well, by Ron Bach and Brian Keane, at Native
Restoration Studios. Stand outs include "House Made Of Dawn Light",
"Dieshu", "Little Ritual", and the deeply moving "Arrival".

" I have a large new age & light jazz collection, and listen
to about everything I can get my ears to. This soulful inspiring
collection takes you on a progressive journey through all your
feelings, solidly gracing and touching every corner of your soul
with a confident magical healing power, leaving you refreshed
and healed in a way, which is hard to discribe. Douglas Spotted
Eagle will embrace your soul with his understanding of native
peoples, earth forces, symbolic animal presences and an intutive
knowing of our struggles and journey, in a way that aligns, centers,
and strengthens your spirit for the road and challenges ahead!"
"I
have had tears result from just letting it play in the background,
from unconcious parts of me responding to the tonal messages I
feel/receive from it. Like your closest Friend, this to be experienced
often. And it is to be shared with those you know are hurting
inside or searching for joy, upliftment and truth. The high praise
is well deserved Douglas ... this Master has created and shared
something very special, and treated us as as his most honored
friends."
"This
is by far the most beautiful collection of music I have been privileged
to hear. All of the songs are wonderful, but 'Arrival' is so charged
with emotion, it will take your breath away and make you cry at
the same time. Douglas Spotted Eagle is a truly talented artist.
I can't wait to hear what comes next!"
