Amajacoustic

     Amajacoustic is my personal favorite of the two CDs. I particularly enjoyed the mixing of the various Native American ethnic tunes, using traditional instruments to create a solid instrumental LP. Clan/Destine once again proves their worth as diverse musicians.

     There are nine tracks on this CD each more beautiful than the next. I particularly like the first track Hummingbird, the use of the flute was haunting. I also enjoyed the use of various ethnic male chanting choruses, a good example of this is the brief but deeply spiritual Time Together. Though I could not understand what they were saying in words the feel of the song as it sung relays to the listener that a bonding of kindred is taking place.

     Rez Dawgs was a cool funky blend of traditional native instruments with a bit of a funky Spanish beat. Blue Flute is just damn good track. I like the mixture of chanting and the strumming blues guitar. It is just a great mix of sound and cultures. Another interesting track was Wah-Kuh "gift" which sounded as if a didgeroo (an Australian Aboriginal insturment) was mixed with sax, flute, guitar, and chanting.

     Throughout Amajacoustic Clan/Destine affirm their talent. Overall those who enjoy new age and or ethnic world music should really check out this CDs. Clan/Destine is destined for greatness so don't be the last ones to join the fan club.
