Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
R. Carlos Nakai takes another rare excursion into electronica, picking up where he left off with Enter Tribal. But Reconnections is more tightly focused, leaving all the Native American guest players aside and forging a more ensemble sound. Except for his Quartet recordings, this is more rhythmic than anything Nakai usually does. No one will mistake it for a dance CD, but you won't find it on massage tables either. Nakai is revealed in his best light, surrounded by the multifarious strings of William Eaton, who is like having a multi-culti string ensemble in your pocket. Is there a harpist on this record? Where did that sitar and koto come from? It's all William Eaton on one of his hybrid guitars. Ambient electronics from both Cliff Sarde and William Eaton provide shadowy echoes and elliptical counterpoint to Nakai's flute melodies. When Nakai rides the waves created by Sarde, Eaton, and percussionist Randy Wood on "Dreaming Worlds," it makes you realize again why he's the Miles Davis of the Native flute, exploring new terrain, bringing the best out of his musicians, and creating cogent, centered solos. He's not only a defining voice on the flute, but he elevates anyone playing with him. Reconnections wires up new connections in R. Carlos Nakai's continuing evolution. --John Diliberto

Product Description
The fluid resonance of traditional cedar flute, luminous guitars and the undulating rhythms and textures of electronica weave sonic excursions into the night lounge of the world - reconnecting past and present. Featuring Cilff Sarde, William Eaton & Randy Wood.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must own..., December 29, 2006
By Uppa "a fan" (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This recording features some of R. Carlos Nakai's most soulful, stirring and adventurous performaces to date. He plays with effortless beauty against Eaton's strumming and Sarde's rhythmic soundscapes. Randy Wood's vocal peformance is gorgeous and stunning. All together ethereal, enchanting and evocative.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretentious , January 22, 2007
I find this music pretentious and affected. Even the titles of the songs imply an understanding of the universe which the music doesn't convey. Just because a man is an Indian and has a flute doesn't mean he knows anything about spirituality.
