Gary Richard's music and Richard Hooper's environmental sounds meld in Spirits of the Ancestors to take the listener on a trip in time and place. "The Crossing" has a distinctive East Asian sound to it. In the "Land of Ice," the listener "discovers" the stark beauty of the frozen North and the danger of the whale hunt.

Keyboards, guitar and percussion, along with some wonderfully subtle vocals, help paint a picture of what once was but is no more. Richard and Hooper dedicate the release to the living memory of all native peoples in the Americas who have given their lives in the struggle to preserve their homeland and lifestyle. ~ MusD, Rovi
