Review
This is the only soundtrack I have of Cooder's and I must say that it is superb. It captures a feeling of the other, and exoticness that just can't be explained. Though the army music is noticeably American (suitable for wild west adventures) the other segments of music are excellent for creating an atmosphere of mystery and strangeness.
The use of throat singers and a range of American Indian instruments create pieces which emphasis the spiritual nature of the American Indians, and are perfect for creating such a feeling in your own adventures. This is probably going to be a fantasy only soundtrack, especially if you have Native Americans in your campaign. There is a large mix of track lengths so some music would be suitable as background music while others would be better as description backdrops.
