| Following the chart-topping success of Byron Metcalf's award-winning, The
Shaman's Heart, Monroe Products pursued another collaboration, Spirit
Gathering (formally titled Not Without Risk) is an undisputed classic
among shamanic practitioners who recognize Metcalf and company's shamanic
stylings as the real deal. Good shamanic music doesn't invite your
participation, it literally draws you into the experience. Spirit
Gathering is not "meditative" in the traditional sense, it's shamanic
"traveling" music - primordial tribal percussion that's intended to evoke
transcendent inner journeys to push the boundaries of your own reality.
Strap yourself in with a good audio system, or headphones, and let the
consciousness-altering trance rhythms begin. Your immersive journey
concludes with a soft landing afforded by track 8, Light From a Burning
Bridge - an integrative "communion with Spirit" finale to complete your
powerful experience of Spirit Gathering. "(Spirit Gathering), the latest sonic weaving of master drummer Byron
Metcalf, is a stirring multi-dimensional soundscape journey through boundless
space and time. Metcalf leads the listener to that twilight edge of
consciousness where psychic toxins are purged, where limitations of soul are
transformed, where the heart frozen still with fear of these times is recharged
with the warmth, joy and motion of life. Metcalf has created a potent, yet
hauntingly beautiful sonic tapestry that's sure to transport the listener
through a shamanic passage of heart and soul, into the remembered embrace of a
loving universe...a sturdy and reliable tool for otherworld/innerworld work.
Wear your seatbelt!" ---Frank MacEowen, author of The spiral of Memory &
Belonging
