发行公司：Higher Octave
唱片编号：47840

这张Higher Octave发行的最新专辑证明了Spotted Eagle开始尝试新的音域. 虽然他在演奏笛子过程中从来都没有开拓过新的音域范围, 但这张专辑所表现的却是他创作生涯12年以来最具弹性和激进性质的音乐. 顺畅的节奏, 强有力的打击器乐, 流畅的低音乐谱以及传统的人声合成, 这张专辑直击听众的心底. 人声合成部分以Herman Begay, Samantha Rainbow, Sam Ward, Rob Greyhill, Wiil Numkena, Frank Warren及其余数位歌唱家为代表, 该专辑中的大多数作品都以声部为主，因此专辑名称才取为《Voices》. Douglas的儿子最近去世, 因此很容易从他的音乐中听出悲伤的感情. 但是, Spotted Eagle不会对这种失去做任何过多的渲染, 他说他很为他的儿子骄傲, 因为正是他才给了他创作的灵感. 难怪Wind & Wire杂志要称他为“迅速走红的笛手之一”, 他的音乐当然在这里也能听到. 这是一张不同情感的专辑。

Douglas Spotted Eagle is a man of many talents: flautist, film score composer, producer, author, activist, and performer with the Voices of Native America Tour. As a young man, he abandoned his rock & roll dreams for family, returning to music by his mid-20's in the wake of his late marriage. Spotted Eagle picked up the flute of his boyhood, and shortly thereafter distinguished himself as the first recording artist to combine Native American flute with synthesizer. And here, on his 14th solo recording, during the making of which his age son died, Spotted Eagle has again channeled his considerable loss into a work unlike any other. More fiery than earlier recordings, Voices is a blend of ethnic contemporary: jazzy horns and guitars, a dense undercurrent of meaty drum & bass beats, R&B-style crooning, and traditional Diné vocals by friends and tribal elders. And at the center of it all soars Spotted Eagle's utakably flamboyant flute lines. A bit rich for some tastes, Voices is a sonic journey of absorption. .
