Garden of Serenity
David Gordon & Steve Gordon

Garden of Serenity is a deep sonic treasure from David 
Gordon and Steve Gordon. By combining gentle melodies, 
enhanced overtones, smooth drones and pastoral samples, they 
have captured the essence of the meditative new age. The 
atmospheres move lazily through the garden as David and Steve 
reach into the depths of holistic healing and tap into the neuro-
pathways and souls of deep listeners. Relaxation is not 
optional with this disc. It is essential! - Jim Brenholts

Sanctuary
David Gordon & Steve Gordon

Sanctuary, by David Gordon and Steve Gordon, 
is, as the title implies, a safe haven and a rest stop on the 
highway of life. Indeed, life is a journey to be enjoyed, not a 
mystery to be solved. Steve and David embrace that concept and 
enhance it by giving deep listeners and energizing break. In the 
mad rush of today’s society and corporate madness, this is 
similar to the power nap. These breaks, however, have their 
own purposes and become pieces of the journey rather than 
external elements. Thus, this haven is more enjoyment of the 
journey and not a break at all. It is a new age classic!

Steve Gordon and Deborah Martin: Ancient Power (CD, 50:00); Sequoia Records SQ-9022

	Good roots produce good fruits. Flowing out of Edgar Perry's soul is the love for 
his people: the Eagle Clan of Whiteriver, Arizona. Perry's White Mountain Apache roots 
reach deep and this music is the fruit of that devotion. Steve Gordon and Deborah Martin, 
each touched by Perry's life, come alongside his vision and together they call forth the 
Ancient Power in song.
	This is no cheap tourist trinket's tinkling clatter as other new age tribal concept 
albums so often offer. The soul-cry of the Apache visits in these songs. Authentic native 
instruments and chants are fused with guitar, keys, tambourines, and such but not too 
overblown nor out-of-the-flow. "Spirit Of The Mountain" and "Wind Of The Spirits", a 
10:36 track, are my picks for most Apache-feel.  Synths melded with textural guitar verge 
on an Emerald Web/Peter Buffet sound. Refer to "Sundancer" and "Earth Dweller" 
respectively. Title cut, "Ancient Power" evokes even Celtic moods in Gordon's native 
flute. "Moon Over Cloudless Sky" with Martin on synth and Gordon on ambient guitar 
was a great break from all the mesmerizing Taos drums and Deer claw percussives. The 
stage was perfectly set for "Wind Of The Spirits". You even hear cicadas calling from 
Indian ruins on this CD. If you like Native American music with that new age delivery 
then Ancient Power is recommended with no reservations. -- John W. Patterson
