Their influential trademark sound, combining world instruments and sounds of nature has sold over one million units worldwide and has appeared on network TV and major motion picture scores such as the recent Fox Searchlight release, "Kissing Jessica Stein." Since founding Sequoia Records in 1982, the Gordon brothers have been breaking musical ground, consistently creating albums that top the charts, garner awards, and expand the boundaries of New Age and World music. "We like to think of our music as the music of Earth and Spirit, because we believe that one of the goals of being alive is to unite the two into one," explains Steve Gordon.

Their 1994 release Sacred Earth Drums successfully blended all of these elements, topping the New Age charts. This influential crossover recording reached #1 at all the New Age distributors immediately upon release, stayed there for over 3 years and even now remains high on distributors sales charts. In 1996, David and Steve went back into the studio and created the follow-up to Sacred Earth Drums, which they titled Sacred Spirit Drums. Immediately it began to receive enthusiastic reviews. Steve Ryals of New Age Retailer's Fresh Tracks said, "Each superb track flows into the next. Evocative, mysterious, sensual, and profoundly healing." In 1999 David and Steve inaugurated their new studio by creating Drum Medicine, which again became an immediate top seller o
