Pretty Good.......2006-07-29

This was a very unique item. Fans of the series will enjoy it. At times some of the tracks seem out of place when out of the game, but that's more than made up for by the many powerful and classic tracks that these CD's have. The first CD is more techno-inspired while the second is more operatic. It's good music to do push-ups to or to drive to. Especially the first track of the first CD.

Aquired Taste.......2007-06-16

Saw this band down at NO Jazz Fest this year and then purchased this album. They have a very unique sound.

The Trance Blues tradition continues..........2007-03-09

If you thought the Trance Blues was dead the day RL Burnside died, think again. If you love that kind of music and wish the Black Keys wasn't the only band making it these days, THINK AGAIN. RL's kids are alive and well, and this record is like a window into a juke joint in Holly Springs, MS.

FINALLY!!!! Some new Blood and innovation in the Blues!.......2006-05-06

I first heard the Burnside Exploration in 2003, when they were still getting their act together;had the pleasure of performing on the same bill with them.In Them,You hear the NEXT NEW THING IN THE BLUES;rooted in the North Mississippi Hill Country Boogie of Daddy RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough;but with strong roots in Jimi Hendrix,Cream and classic rock,Modern R&B and Soul. all they need now is to get some strong Hip hop related feel in their mix and you HAVE THE NEXT NEW THING IN THE BLUES!

Release the badasses!!.......2006-04-10

If you were wondering where rhythm comes from, you've just found the source. These guys have it. And they have tone, too. Yep. And... oh yeah, they rock!!

But seriously... There needs to be a lot more of this type of stuff going on. There's too many people playing the blues and behaving themselves. Those two things don't go together. If anyone in Amazonworld is tired of hearing some dude singing about his blues and his feeling and his Kool-aide man voice gonna break through your wall and spray a bunch of cheese whizz on you and your old lady, then take a listen to these guys. The thing I can't understand is that Cedric (the drummer) has two arms like the rest of us. I've seen him. Two arms. Not 6 or 8 or 20. 2. And Garry is gonna get arrested for playing with that dirty tone and slick style. This album breathes new life into... into what? Hell, I don't know--whoever listens to it. It's good, dangit. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Buy it if you want to. Or if you prefer, call me up, and I'll do my impression of Fat Albert singing "The thrill is gone." I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you? Why am I the first to review this album?

ON FIRE AGAIN!.......2003-09-08

I am not going to call this my favorite album because I dont really have a favorite. All of Incendio's albums are AMAZING, but this is the next best thing to hearing them live.
Jim and JP play with such Passion that the listener is taken on a journey around the world and filled with the same Fire that makes Incendio what it is. Joe Shotwell brings the Heart of Incendio directly to the listener's ears with his amazing drumming. The soul of Incendio is portrayed by the amazing talent of the bassist Liza Carbe', and Nicole Falzone adds a little bit of Spice to the mix with percussion. Together the talents of these Artists create a sound that ensnares the heart and soul. Even without "Studio Magic" this CD has a magic all it's own.
All I can say is go see Incendio live it's an outing you will never forget.

Super guitar album.......2003-06-24

If you're into guitar music of any kind (I love Eric and Jimmy Page and many others) or you're into "Latin" music, you will love this album. In my dreams I can play guitar like these guys. Oh well, maybe in another life. Super, super stuff. Their live performances are better, catch them if you can.

Great album.......2003-05-09

I love this album! Incendo came to our famrmer's market in SLO and ended up convincing me to run to the atm in order to buy this cd. They were amazing to watch live. Most of the people in the crowd ended up puchasing a cd. These guys have skills, great music, and are friendly people. Highly recommended.

Like nothing else in the genre!.......2003-01-16

Incendio's new CD Intimo is incredible. Every song is great. Unlike many guitar records of this sort, there is a raw and reckless abandon to the playing of Jim and Jean-Pierre. The rhythm section does not hold back either. This music is great for driving on long road trips or background music for a hip party! Everyone I play this CD for wants it! I have all Incendio's and Jim Stubblefield's CDs and this one really shows that these guys can play without the help of any "studio magic". I hope they do more CDs like this in the future. VIVA INCENDIO!

You might not recognize N'Dambi's name, but if you own Erykah Badu's Live album, you've already heard her voice. Better known as Ms. Badu's favorite backup vocalist, N'Dambi is destined to become one of the brightest stars in today's burgeoning neo-soul movement. The Dallas-based artist's debut creation, Little Lost Girl Blues, was self-released under the auspices of N'Dambi's own Cheeky-I Productions. It's a well-crafted gem that deserves a much larger audience than its limited distribution has cultivated. The album opens with the spoken-word mood composition "Picture This," and from there journeys into explorations of scat-laced jazz ("The Meeting"), textured soul ("Can This Be Love"), and lushly retro R&B ("What's Wrong With You"). The album's signature piece is the achingly beautiful "Sunshine," which pairs the artist's straightforward vocals with a spare acoustic guitar line. N'Dambi's style is more substantial than Badu's, less mannered than Amel Larrieux's, and infinitely more complex than Angie Stone's. All comparisons aside, N'Dambi's talent speaks for itself. --Rebecca Levine

Little Lost Girls Blues.......2006-11-20

I was lucky enough to get my hands on this cd before the store ran out of copies. I loved her voice on Erykah Badu's live cd and knew that I'd probably enjoy N'Dambi's debut. The tone of her voice reminds me of Nancy Wilson - her voice is warm & her scatting throughout some songs is stellar & the musical production on the disc as a whole is excellent making it another great entry into the alternative r&b field.

My favorite tracks are: RAIN, SOUL FROM THE ABYSS, THE MEETING, PICTURE THIS, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, CAN THIS BE LOVE & THE SUNSHINE

If you're an Erykah Badu fan, you'll enjoy this disc too.

GIMME THE BLUES.......2004-10-28

WONDERFUL.......2003-05-28

Wonderful CD to drive in your car to on a nice summer day!

good stuff.......2002-11-09

The beats on here is what I apreciate the most, she has like the best Jazy background music I have ever heard. Her voice is similar to "Kelis" but deeper. This is good chill back and relax music. She just needs to up her lyics a bit, and use her voice more, like the way she sung on "Crazy world" and "the sunshine".
Overall it's very much worth the money...Her beats are better than Jill Scott's and Erykah'.s

Great Music..........2002-04-03

N'Dambi tears it down when she backs up Erykah and she really did a fantastic job with her debut CD. "Sunshine" is something that I can play over and over again as well as many others. She's unique and very talented. I hope a big record company picks her up one day. Like her name, the music is unique and deserves a bigger audience. I was hooked when I saw her do a tribute for Nina Simone in Philly at an IAAAM funciton. She had cats standing up and screaming. Get this if you don't have it already....

Album Description

Rhythmic magic, created by Native American drums, is the focus of a series of compositions interweaving rattles and drums with chanting, Native American flutes and modern mood textures. The heartbeat rhythms played on Native drums form the basis of the compositions that draw sonic pictures of the spacious Canyons of the Southwest and sacred sites.

Customer Reviews:

Hauntingly Beautiful.......2006-05-21

I was totally blown away by this album. Pete Bender expresses his Native American heritage in a way that makes you feel what it is like to be an Indian. In a way I found this album a political expression of the sadness felt by the American Indian (over the loss of their land) that is still with them today. That sadness resonates throughout this album, it touches your soul in a such a way, that it makes you feel what it must have been like long, long ago during the Trail of Tears, The Long Walk; the tremendous emotional pain of that era is so evident yet beautifully expressed and deeply felt by the listener.

Great Music!.......2005-02-08

As I listen to this CD for the umpteenth time, I feel compelled to thank Peter Bender for it. Thank you, Peter.

Imagine sitting around the fire with others, dancing to the drums all night, as a way to honor the Creator, the Moment and celebrate the joy of shared Life. That's what this CD is like.

Favorite cuts: Spirit Mountain, Drums Before Sundown (which I regard as a true work of inspired beauty & genius), followed by Crow Dog's Paradise (even better, if it's possible, then Drums) and Dedication to Chief Joseph is unrelentingly *positive*--just try to be down after hearing this-- followed by the joy and thankfulness of "Return of Tananka"-- the celebration of the buffalo.

Music of the Land.......2004-04-16

I wasn't sure about this album when I received it as a gift, but thought I'd give it a try anyway. I was surprised by what I heard. Peter "Wyoming" Bender mixes the sounds of his Native culture with contemporary and a touch rock and other genres. The deep drums resonate under the rhythm of horse-bells while flute carries the melody either in a traditional sound, or the sound Bender has learned from his experience of music in traveling through Europe. Native chants add flavor to the songs, making them very authentic. As Enya is to her Celtic heritage, so Bender is to his Native American heritage. He takes the traditional, and colors it with beautiful music.

Several songs stand out on this album, like the deep and slow singing on "Crow Dog's Paradise". "Don't Ever Smoke the Right Pipe with the Wrong Man," has a little more of that Native feel with chanting and drums only in the middle, while the keyboard and flute hint slightly at an Enya feel. The opening "Rugged Roads" is one of the primer songs of the album, although the wind effect is a little too much. My favorite is "Ax-Bi-Zha-Ye (Through the Air)", where the drums have a strong presence in the beginning and periodically throughout as the synth strings adds a haunting color to the flute's melody. The first time I heard this song I mistook it for Enigma's, as it shares a lot of qualities with that particular band's work. "Hole In the Sky takes on a more modern feeling with a big double-bass sound and the opening reed-synthesized keyboard. The flute melody has a feeling of "If the Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me" to it.

Bender is on the right track here combining the sounds of his ancestors with the sounds of today's music. I would like to find more of his work, but I must agree with a previous reviewer about the mixing quality of the album. The sound quality of this album is not deep and full as you would expect, and it becomes very apparent after listening to an album done properly immediately before "Canyon Drums". As Bender has said here he recorded the album with little knowledge of recording techniques. Besides the sound quality, the music is very good.

"Great Music.......".......2000-10-19

This album is fantastic! Very good music...worth buying.

I would like to thank all of you for your reviews. I enjoyed everyone of them-and what`s important for me is that I always learn new things that I can use for my next production.I recorded CANYON DRUMS with very little equipment and hardly any knowledge about technics. I`m a singer-songwriter-keyboarder and drummer and I`ve been at it for 40 years now and hope to go another 40. I will be moving back home to the states soon continuing there.I like to thank you again and please check out my new CD`s. "CANYON EAGLE" released about now by TALKING TACO RECORDS and RAINMAKER released by WOLFSONGS-CHEROKEE PRODUCTIONS. I hope you will like them and my future productions. my family roots are in Ft.Sill, Oklahoma and I have COMANCHE ancestry.
