Press Reviews Listen.com Review------Michaels meshes slightly jazzy new age synthscapes with Native American and other World touches. The mix can get over layered, but the basic tunes are sound and the feeling is very dramatic -- neither of which are typically strong points in the new age realm.--------Visitor Reviews-------I needed a spiritual blessing to pick me up. I was so depressed about the way things are unfolding today. People are destroying our earth, killing our animals, and killing each other. Why can't they just step back afew paces and see all the damage that is being done. I came to this site to listen to Elan's music and just drift back to times of long ago where man and earth were one. I laid on the floor and looked to the sky to get inner peace while absorbing the spiritual music, and it worked. I blocked it all out and just floated into the clouds. As I came back down, I brought this feeling of inner peace and contentment with me and felt so refreshed. I do believe that I took a journey with the spirits. God Bless you with your music. He gave you a wonderful gift.I have two CD's so far and am getting ready to order another new one. Linda, Ohio------Your music has touched my heart. So many pieces express my inner feelings and make some beautiful mental pictures. Thanks for you wonderful and spiritual compositions! Nya Weh!------Your music is wonderful!! It stirs something deep in my spirit. I am not Native, but somehow feel a bond with people who are. As I went through each musical piece, I could visualize what each one's title represents, & felt so much at peace, as my spirit traveled to those scenes in my mind's eye. I am ordering "Windwalker", and will check back often, so I will know when you record more of this beautiful music. --The Creator has gifted you with a talent for taking our spirits back to their beginnings, --to the true ways. ---I have forwarded your site to several people that I know will be as moved by your music as I have been.
