Aside from having great percussionary compositions this cd has the best "recording quality". Newer Hart cds like SUPRALINGUA sound rather dry and artificial and don't have nearly the emotional and trance-like impact that this cd has. The song THE DANCING SORCERER (on this cd) for instance has an ethereal aura around the tones of some of the instruments that add's greatly to the effect of the song.

It is instead outside all the mainstream styles and I would consider it the kind of album that would augment a percussion collection rather than start one. 15 of 18 people found the following review helpful One of the best percussion CDs ever, By This review is from: Planet Drum (Audio CD) I have owned this CD since it first came out and saw Mickey Hart/Planet Drum perform revently here in Seattle. They are amazing and this is probably one of the best percussion jam sessions ever recorded onto CD |
