5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any serious guitarist, or any serious musician, August 28, 1998

By A Customer

I've been playing guitar for 31 years and can honestly say I have never heard anyone play in so many different voices in one song, the way Phil Keaggy can and does.

Listen to March of the clouds. In the beginning he starts with a single line, melodic lead which he expands into a rolling, crescendo-ing, over-dubbed double lead. This builds into an explosion of rapid fire, scaling leads that just bring tears to my eyes (I wish could play it, but at least I can feel it!). Then he follows it with gentle volume swells that slowly bring you down as they roll into a classical style of chording and octaves which leads back to the original theme as the song fades. The most incredible facet of this guitar players' expertise is he can reproduce these tones and touches, live. If you can't deal with his christian lyrics, buy this album, as well as "220", "beyond nature", "acoustic sketches", "master & musician", and definitely, definitely a MUST "ON THE FLY".

Sit back and be amazed - you will not believe these recordings are all of the same guitarist.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great instrumental!!!, July 15, 1998

By A Customer

this cd reminds me of the time i went skydiving, it makes your imagination soar! " march of the clouds", is my favorite song. but still this cd does not compare to seeing phil keaggy in concert. watching phil play is like watching someone worshiping God with a guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnum Opus, December 19, 2003

By	Mark Seager (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

I am not Christian.
I am not a guitarist, though I am a professional musician.
I am not a'Keaggyhead'...

But this is, easily one of the best collections of compositions I have ever heard. In particular, and I need to single this one out, 'March of the Clouds' is as perfect a collection of sounds a human being can put together. As a song, it has everything...ethereal imagery, slow gradual volume and tone. Again, it is....well it is my favorite song. I do not listen to New Age in particular - I am well rounded but - I heard this song about 10 years ago...and either a song touches you or it does not....this one reached in me and pulled something out...something only this song can. Buy it. Experience it.
