"Pray", Douglas Spotted Eagle's first album for Higher Octave Music, is an enthralling, provocative song cycle that in an aural spiritual journey. Spotted Eagle's music is grounded in Native American music, but he brings together a variety of other styles -- including new age, folk and jazz -- to create an utterly original sound he terms "modern ethnic." Pray is one of the very best examples of this style.
-- Rodney Batdorf, All Music Guide
