Dances for the New Millennium is an awesome conglomeration of Native American, Asian, and space music from Ancient Brotherhood, a vehicle for concepts and performances by Gerald Jay Markoe. This disc has vast atmospheres, deep soul, and sincere spirituality. Markoe's sound design uses the natural sonorities of the ethnic and acoustic instruments to enhance and compliment the contemporary and electronic instruments. This disc will appeal to fans of R. Carlos Nakai, Coyote Oldman, and Douglas Spotted Eagle.
