Charles Lloyd issued a series of albums in the 1990s with pianist Bobo Stenson and other Swedish players that were quiet to the point of somnolent. On this album, the presence of drummer Billy Hart elevates the pace and intensity, and so does the vigor of Lloyd's playing, which grows stronger in all ways. Ironically, he is far more accomplished than he was in the late 1960s when, in the throes of flower power, he won popular acclaim that was uncommonly broad for a jazz performer. His sax, stylistically and emotionally multihued, harks to Coltrane but rarely leans on him. Lloyd also makes judicious contributions on flute, all splendidly deep-toned and deeply felt. Stenson is ever dependable in support, coming to life when the opportunity presents itself. And Hart consistently kicks the music along. --Peter Monaghan

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful album.......2007-03-08

i was pleasantly surprised! Beautiful songs and they are not stereotypical native american musc as on reviewer suggested. my toddler chills to the album before he goes to bed.

2 out of 5 stars Uninteresting.......2007-01-07

Like another reviewer stated, it sounds corny and fake. I must agree. Some of it is ok, but it sounds like commercialized North American Indian music, which I suppose it is.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but Lisa Gerrard repeats herself.......2006-05-19

Dead Can Dance's former singer, Lisa Gerrard, sounds good (like she always does) on this album, yet she repeats herself, coming accross a LOT like she did in "Whale Rider". The oceanic-like quality to her music plays a central role in this soundtrack, and makes me a bit doubtful about future efforts, unless she begins to experiment a little more, like she did in her DCD days.

4 out of 5 stars very relaxing.......2006-02-24

i heard two cuts from this album on a recent 'music from the hearts of space' broadcast last december. needless to say, lisa gerrard's vocals, and here combined with various indigenous north american arrangements, are stellar. i recommend this for those who are looking for ambient sounds to wind the day down. a subtle, powerful, modern collection of soundtrack compositions that is rooted in tradition. quite nice and i do plan on catching the short film next time i'm in DC.

1 out of 5 stars Corny, fake sounding Native American music.......2005-12-17

I am a soundtrack fan, love a good soundtrack, and found this to be incoherent...the music sounded stereotypical and unoriginal. I love Lisa Gerard's contributions to the Gladiator soundtrack but here, her voice is lost in the music. I find this cd to be kind of irritating to listen to, rather than beautiful. I'm trading it in at the local used cd store asap.

5 out of 5 stars Donýt overlook this wonderful Album.......2003-01-14

Since no other reviews exist, I felt obligated to say something about this terrific album.
This is an up tempo musical experience presented by Charles Lloyd.

The set starts out at a brisk pace with "Piercing the Veil". Charles puts in some top notch sax playing here. "Little Peace" slows down and finds Charles on flute and what a beautiful tune this is. "Thelonious Theonlyus" follows at a quicker pace with some great vamping and soloing by Charles on sax and Bobo Stenson on piano. "Cape to Cairo Suite" starts with an Anders Jormin bass solo. The rest of the band then comes in. Charles sax darts around with the rest of the band before they all settle down and find the melody. A wonderful piano solo is contained in this tune along with some high energy sax playing.

"Evanstide" starts out with some beautiful piano playing at a slow pace. The bass and drums walk in to support the musical effort. Charles is the last to join. This is a beautiful tune that develops into a mid tempo pace. "All my Relations" starts out with a sax and drum exchange. About 4 ½ minutes into the tune the bass player joins in. Another couple of minutes later the piano joins and Charles steps away momentarily to give the band solo space. "Hymne to the Mother" begins mysteriously with some piano (I think) and drum/cymbal work. The bass joins in with some wonderful but brief out front playing. Then in walks Charles to communicate his feelings for this song. The set concludes with a brief solo song that finds Charles on Chinese Oboe.

Most of the tunes found on this album are up tempo. The entire band is in top notch form. Bobo Stenson puts in a fine performance on piano (quite breathtaking). Anders Jormin on bass is exciting and really makes the bass walk along and sing. Billy Hart on drums is full of energy on this session.

As usual, the recording quality is stellar. Be sure to pick up this album. It may be eight years old (released in 1995) but it should not to be overlooked. This is a "must have" Charles Lloyd album. The music is melodic but also includes a couple of more adventuresome tunes. This is exciting jazz.

Bravo Charles, thank you for providing us with such wonderful music. Now....can I convince you to play more flute on your next release. I just love that flute playing (thought I would try any way).
