Meditation Drum
David and Steve Gordon
2009

With over a dozen drumming titles in their catalog, there can be no question that Sequoia Records' big brother act Steve and David Gordon are the base of a burgeoning trance therapy/modern shaman movement, trailblazing the use of recorded drumming for meditation and astral journeying to inner landscapes and self realization. With their primitivist rhythms, the Gordons' CD, Meditation Drum, becomes an essential entry point, a transformative drumming experience, ideal for setting the beat at campfire drum circles or holistic healing offices and even the more enlightened workplace cubicles. The drums promote a steady relaxed awareness, the kind associated in the brain with theta waves, making it a good album to have on while engaging in upper management problem solving as well as astral plane travel.

The second track on the album, "Shaman Drum," rides along on an ominous double backbeat, perfect for slow circular trance dancing. "Mantra Drum" includes the rush of a rain stick, the far-off ethereal call of a wooden flute, sinister chimes amid the slow, and incessant tom tom drum style, which gradually increases like a snake awakening into an ever-tightening coil; it gets your heart racing, as a low didgeridoo comes in and adds the perfect sense of dreamtime otherworldliness. Angelic chimes, serpentine rattles, and rooting frame drums bring everything chugging along through all four tracks, slowly coiling and uncoiling in the rhythm of the earth-heart down the river of the spirit head and through the cloudy skies.

With just a simple drum beat, a whippoorwill wooden flute and a rain stick, Steve and David Gordon open up a pathway between your dancing Shiva flame soul and the eternal light of the now, wherein you are reflected as the lightbeing you are and all the world's the mirror/sun. Meditation Drum is the car and the road to get there, the real deal, as otherworldly focused and as enlightened a doorway as two titans of the shamanic drumming scene can make it. Use its ominous strangeness to shake yourself from that secure sense of civilized torpor and back into the primal aliveness that comes with a full moon and roaring fire casting eerie shadows against the trees, your heart and the world's, beating as one.
