Douglas Spotted Eagle is one of the primary practitioners of enhancing Native American acoustics with synthesizers and electronic processes. Legend of the Flute Boy is the saga of a young man chosen to spread a message of "love, kindness and spiritual understanding" to the world. That message was carved into his cedar flute. Through the music of that flute, he spread the message. Spotted Eagle's sound design certainly qualifies as Native American. He enhances the flute boy's message with gentle percussion and voluminous atmospheres. The depth of those atmospheres puts this in the category of electronic minimalism, even as space music. Deep listeners will feel the flute boy's sincere and emotional delivery. The uplifting acoustics enhance the atmospheres. The uplifting atmosphere enhances the acoustics. The elements of the soundscape interact seamlessly. This CD will appeal to fans of Coyote Oldman, Little Wolf Band, Jorge Reyes, Soulfood, and Cornsmoke. It is essential Native American music. ~ Jim Brenholts Legend Of The Flute Boy Music Douglas Spotted Eagle Legend Of The Flute Boy Songs Legend Of The Flute Boy Music Legend Of The Flute Boy Review

Legend Of The Flute Boy CD music
$26.95
THEREMIN contains 3 original 10-inch LPs on 3 CDs: MUSIC OUT OF THE MOON (1947)/PERFUME SET TO MUSIC (1948)/MUSIC FOR PEACE FOR MIND (1950).
In the late '40s and early '50s, a series of easy listening albums appeared featuring the then-futuristic eerie theremin of Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman. Waves in the Ether: The Magical World of the Theremin collects three of them -- 1947's Music out of the Moon, 1948's Perfume Set to Music, and 1950's Music for Peace of Mind -- onto one CD, with historical liner notes. (Yes, this 18-track, 53-minute CD does include all three of the albums, as albums had shorter playing times back then.) In truth, it's rather arbitrary who is considered the "artist" of these albums; Hoffman did contribute theremin, but the music was composed by Harry Revel, and conducted and arranged by Les Baxter (on the first two albums) and Billy May (on Music for Peace of Mind). Also in truth, these records really aren't as exotic as they might appear. For the most part they're corny lounge jazz-cum-soundtrack music, with gossamer violins, dramatic piano flourishes, and wholesome white bread vocal choirs and jazz scatting. Often you expect a voice to come over the music at any second exclaiming, "And now, live from New York City, the [fill in the host name] Show!," or the music to fade in favor of dialogue as the opening scene of some 1949 film melodrama starts. As for Hoffman's contributions, they're less dominant than you might surmise, with entire lengthy passages going by without the theremin making a sound. Also, perhaps in part because of the dated recording techniques, the theremin parts sometimes sound more like a shaky violin than a theremin, though they undoubtedly comprise the most unusual features of the arrangements. This is more valuable as a timepiece of how music of the "future" was envisioned in the middle of the 20th century than for the (ironically) dated music itself, but at least this compiles the three most well-known albums with Hoffman's theremin together in a well-annotated package. ~ Richie Unterberger
Compiling three LPs recorded by theremin maestro Samuel J. Hoffman and composer Harry Revel between 1947 and 1950, this exemplary set is an ideal introduction to the eerily beautiful sound of inventor Leon Theremin's pioneering electronic instrument. The granddaddy of the outer-space exotica boom, Music Out of the Moon (credited to conductor/arranger Les Baxter) remains a landmark by any measure. The best-selling theremin record of all time, its celestial arrangements, wordless vocals, and idiosyncratic instrumentation established the template for dozens of space age pop records to follow, effectively defining the perception of what music from the cosmos would (or at least should) sound like. The music captures a wonder and ...

Legend Of The Flute Boy songs
$22.35 
This is a 17-track anthology of hits by Italian pop star Giorgia, featuring two versions of her smash "E Poi."
The career of this Italian pop star makes a touching foreground story to the accompaniment of a greatest-hits collection; indeed, it is the stuff of a romantic Hollywood biopic. Overflowing with talent like a plate of bruschetta, young Giorgia manages to sing for her idol, Whitney Houston, overwhelming her. From there some show business strings are pulled, although even a pair of much less-shaky hands than Houston's would probably find the task of spreading popular Italian music outside the audience that speaks the language quite daunting. So although unknown in Georgia, Giorgia's gigs are giant from Grosseto to Gioiosa Ionica. This collection hits musical high points, well-chosen by the maestro herself. If the tracks sound better than expected -- although listeners that abhor divas better not take that as an invite to come on in -- some credit can go to background forces that once again can be tracked to Houston. Her drummer and musical director, Mike Baker, is a superb jazzman and one of a number of artists of his ilk who have branched out into pop music. His fingers ...
