Customer reviews of Ancient Canyons

Customer Rating: 
Summary: The ANCIENT in Ancient Canyons is there for a reason.
Comment: I recently visited the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, and spent several hours viewing recent to 1000+ year old Indian artifacts. I stopped by the gift shop on my way out and there I sampled a score of different CD's from several different artists, none of which I was familiar with.
Upon sampling John Huling's 'Ancient Canyons' I knew I wanted this CD. I was immediately able to interpret the sound of coyotes in the faroff distance as the faroff past calling and yipping at us and perhaps teasing us a bit. John Huling is able to make his flute give voice to ancient peoples calling across the gulf of time. The CD's mournful, layered music and masterful flute caused me to imagine the ancient past.
The CD is synthesized and new-agey, and I'm not, but I still enjoyed the experience. I found it to be relaxing, yet haunting, possessing a certain tension and to be somehow a little unsettling.
I can't speak to Mr. Huling's intent, but I was caused to consider that this too shall pass.

Summary: Return to Spiritlands, retitled.
Comment: "Return to Spiritlands" is a great CD. So great, in fact, that it has, apparently, been re-released under a new title: "Ancient Canyons." If you already have "Return" -- you don't need this CD. If you don't have "Return" -- you do need this CD. Admittedly, some of it is a little synth-heavy for me, but the overall excellence and sophistication of sound is worth the flirtation with newage.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A truly breath taking collection
Comment: I have all of John's recordings that are available, and find some of his works, beautiful, some ok, and some, oh well! This CD is a collection of his best works. John has his ears and heart connected and his best music reflects his deep passion. If you only purchase one CD of this fine artist, make it this one. You will not be disappointment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Native Flute with an attitude..
Comment: OK, the second cut alone, "Night on Hoskininni Plateau", is worth the price of admission for this CD. My guess is that you will find this cut appearing over and over again on compilation CDs of the best of Native American music in the near future. Have a listen to that one, and if it interests you, then I can assure you that you will enjoy the rest of the CD as well. John Huling creates really fine Native American flute music, but it is not generally of the "solo flute with environmental sounds" category. Mr. Huling takes full advantage of other instrumentation to highlight the flute, especially making wise use of percussion instruments to complement the quality of the woodwind sounds. This CD, I believe, is the best of his efforts, like a fine flute, he is aging well with time. Give this CD a try, especially if you enjoy contemporary, Native-inspired music.
