Editorial Reviews
Many try, but few artists create music so rife with imagery that you are transported to an entirely fresh geographical plane. No one tours the Southwest like Nicholas Gunn, the flute/synth whiz whose The Music of the Grand Canyon was the most compelling tribute to the park in recent years. With this release, he finds himself at a new Crossroads, which for all intents and purposes is best described as the rocky but clear-skied region around the Four Corners. His latest spiritual excursion again draws on Native American history to build percussive red rock themes around crisp Southwestern architecture that can withstand both intense sunlight and heavy thunderstorms. Gunn's flute is always at the forefront, played either like a percussion instrument or a launching point for soaring orchestral ideas. Loping along the mountain roads and helping pay tribute to his always enthralling landscapes are the subtle energies of violinist Karen Briggs, cellist Sachi McHenry, and acoustic guitarists Zavier and Bill Shafton. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide

I dare your mind not to dance,
This review is from: Crossroads (Audio CD)
In my mind I see this as the music from the crossroads of the world. One where cares are put aside as you are mesmorized by a magical flute. Images dance across my mind and pictures surface of ancient civilizations.
The second song on this CD has an etherial quality with images of nomads treking across a desert. The third is a flock of birds rising from the ocean and swirling into the sky higher and higher. The forth a lazy day or a walk beside the ocean. Then you hear the sounds of insects buzzing in the African night and drums beating. You seem to move from country to country with each song. Animals, instruments and nature burst from the next song. One song is especially beautiful and sounds like waves beating on a sandy beach. Somewhere there is a mermaid and visions of Ierland. Don't miss the rain storm or the rainforest. Just when you think your journey is over you are in the Middle East with belly dancers swiriling around you. This is just the most amazing visualizing CD I have ever listened to. Is it just me or was this the intention. It ends with a rather pensive mood. Take this journey and tell me if I am right. You will also love Jesse Cook if you like this style of music. ~The Rebecca Review

Not the Quintessential Nichalas Gunn,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crossroads (Audio CD)
Crossroads is Nicholas Gunn's fourth album. It gravitates toward the use of more Latin rhythms; but, there are a few reminiscent moments on tracks like Quinta Essentia of his albums The Sacred Fire and The Music of the Grand Canyon.
While Crossroads may not be Gunn's quintessential project it is definitely beautiful and relaxing music. Sunrise
