4 out of 5 stars Carries me away.......2006-12-03

"Where Angels Fly" is beautiful and romantic. I don't buy much music, but I have this one and love it.

1 out of 5 stars Pathways to Disappointment.......2004-02-12

I have been an avid fan of Spheeris' unique music for several years, slowly collecting his CDs as my budget has allowed. This is the first time I've been disappointed by him. Usually, there are at least a few tracks I like. This time, there is nothing at all worth having! This material is contrived and over-done by every new age and easy listening artist to buy time in a recording studio. I hate saying anything bad about Chris Spheeris, but this time, I must. If you want to get his good material, RUN from this album. Try "Eros" or "Culture"... anything but this!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Inspiring!.......2000-04-02

I love this album. Where the Angels Fly and Walk With Me are incredible pieces of music that leave you not only feeling good, but filled with awe and inspiration. Chris is a gifted musician. I have several of his albums but this one is my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars Music for the Heart and Soul.......2000-02-22

Seeking the treasures that open the heart and spark the Soul into radiant presence, that which is available is rare. This Chris Spheeris album provided that LightHearted harmonic, touching deep within to the core and essence of eternal Being.

Raphael's Music to Disappear In, side two, and various tracks from Halpern's many recordings have taken me into the heart, but this Spheeris recording held me there from its beginning to end.

I've used it many times for personal and group music and meditation and have given it as a gift to several special people who have also remarked that it resonated deeply. It is a very, very special work that deserves more attention than it has gotten, as do so many of this artist's recordings.

4 out of 5 stars This man writes music that speaks to your soul.......1999-06-19

Walk with me is totally excellent It only provides proof that this composer can talk directly to our souls, throough his music, if you have this one go and get the others. Desires of the Heart, Culture come to mind and enjoy the rush of emotions they stir. Thank you Chris.

4 out of 5 stars Acoustic bliss........2004-09-11

Three guitars performing a set of laid-back originals and tackling some Beethoven in the process? It may look like a new-age gimmick at first. But there's really little fluff to be found in the CGT catalogue; they're one of the most cerebral and disciplined guitar groups around, even if they occasionally touch on the realm of Muzak and NPR. Maybe it's inevitable. What sets them apart is their inhumanly-tight interplay, their melodic inventiveness and their stylistic range that knows no boundaries. Duke Ellington, Bach, Dick Dale, Queen, Japanese folk, Yes, Mussorgsky, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, a range of inventive originals.. the Trio's covered them all.

Regardless, it's a rare thing to hear so much talent and virtuosity presented so un-pretentiously. It takes some good skill to tackle Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on guitar for example (especially the rapid-fire Presto Agitato movement) as they do here, and their original compositions are marvels of fluid guitar interplay. They don't just play jumbles of notes clamoring on top of each other - the melodies weave over and around each other without ever becoming static, and their skill with melody makes it all beautifully listenable rather than hitting you over the head with dizzying blizzards of flashy technique. Outside guests pop up on sax and Warr guitar from time to time, but for the most part it just focuses on Paul, Bert and Hideyo doing what they do best.

Pathways also had the highest concentration of original CGT songs to date at the time. Their newest album Whitewater shows just how far they've come in the writing department; on this one, their originals and well-chosen covers were balanced to the best effect of any of their albums. Maybe I could wish they'd covered more of a classical range instead of devoting three tracks to Beethoven alone, but that's a small quibble. The fun factor of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" being followed by the surf-guitar classic "Misirlou" does earn them some points.

Pathways is one of the best intros to the group out there, although Whitewater and Rocks The West won't disappoint either. And don't miss them on tour - they do all this stuff live and then some.

5 out of 5 stars Leaping Pathways That Help Quicken Desire.......2002-12-04

The California Guitar Trio was formed by Bert Lams, Hideyo Moriya and Paul Richards. All three perform acoustic guitar, on this CD, in unedited live studio performances. This 1998 recording is their third work together as a trio, after the 1995 disc "Invitation" and 1993's "Yamanashi Blues".

Before their formation as a trio, Bert, Hideyo and Paul had previously appeared in various configurations of The League of Crafty Guitarists and had also served as three of the five members of the Robert Fripp String Quintet.

On "Pathways", a significant level of performance maturity is clearly in evidence. Thankfully, such maturity has been assigned to a repertoire consisting of classical arrangements along with original, intelligent progressive compositions that match well to their classical sensibility.

In addition to the guitar trio configuration, a number of tracks include saxophone played by Bill Janssen and Roger Lambson. The touch tapped Warr Guitar, performed by Trey Gunn, is included on a few of the tracks as well.

"Pathways" will serve as a beautiful introduction to the work of the California Guitar Trio. It showcases some of the finest examples of their warmly sensitive musical expression.

3 out of 5 stars Some super tracks and some iffy ones..........2000-01-27

My basic point is: I love most of the tunes the California Guitar Trio (CGT) creates, in particular: Arroyo and Scramble. These two "songs" are magnificent works of art, dense, complex, stunning.

Sometimes I really enjoy their interpretations of other people's music (like Classical Gas) but most of the time their versions of well known classical pieces leave me cold. I think the CGT puts a lot of heart and effort into playing pieces of music that are better played by an orchestra (all the Beethoven pieces fall into this category).

Bottom line: I salute the CGT for their stunning original musical creations but I find the majority of the songs on this CD somewhat uninteresting.

5 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT CD!! These guys are INCREDIBLE!!!.......1999-10-14

If you love classical guitar get ready, these three guys do things you won't believe. Incredible precission that is real, I have seen them live! And the sound quality is out of this world.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely superb.......1998-11-08

I think that it is hard to come accross an album that is so easy on the ear and enjoyable as this one.

An absolute must buy for anyone who appreciates the classical tones of guitarists!

This CD consists of two Sun Ra LPs from 1973. The first was briefly available as an Impulse record, while the latter has never been released in any form. Both consist of guided improvisations in which Sun Ra cued the group's entries and combinations, creating multilevel performances with remarkable shifts in density and unusual play with sound. The title track of Pathways opens with a set of acoustic contrasts provided by bass clarinet, oboe, and muted trumpet that Sun Ra expands and shifts with mini-Moog and an electric keyboard vibraphone. Elsewhere, almost ambient keyboard parts collide with blistering saxophone solos so overblown and distorted that they might be played through guitar pedals. On Friendly Love, the preoccupation with unusual tonal mixtures extends even further, encompassing bizarre sound sources that emphasize the lowest frequencies. The "space dimension mellophone" played by Akh Tal Ebah on "Friendly Love II" has a bassoon reed inserted in the mouthpiece; the "Neptunian libiflecto" is a bassoon fitted with the mouthpiece of a brass instrument. And Eloe Omoe's contra-alto clarinet is pitched lower than a bass. It's Sun Ra in some of the deepest recesses of space, creating oddly somber and meditative music that's suddenly traversed by moments of strange light or almost conventional lyricism. --Stuart Broomer

Evidence, after a very lengthy gap in their Sun Ra reissue program has returned to the scene with an amazingly essential batch of releases--enough to make any Ra fan salavate at the thought. Pathways To Unknown Worlds/Friendly Love pairs an album that appeared briefly on Impulse and another that has never been issued before, while two other albums planned for impulse are documented on the sister CD issue, 'The Great Lost Sun Ra albums'(Cymbals and Crystal Spears.) What makes these reissues amazing is that very little of Ra's 70's work (save a few live performances and the soundtrack to Space is the Place) have been available.

Fortunately, Evidence has treated us to more than a stale documentary. These are some fantastic out recordings by Ra and his arkestra that are really no less monumental than his classic 60 exploratory works like Atlantis and Magic City, but posess what to my ears sound like a greater foundation in free jazz, where the former could be compared to nothing in jazz or any other format. For some that might mean a slightly more approachable presentation, but it certainly isn't any less demanding. On this and the 'great lost' album, the arkestra experiment with new ways to make noise--whether it be combining horn mouth-pieces with the body of a reed instrument, or Sun Ra body-surfing on his keyboard.

In short, while these are indeed some new and deeply rewarding recordings, don't expect Sun Ra to stop being Sun Ra. Its more of the same, but who's complaining?

      During a good part of our daily lives, we are subjected to stress, anxiety and tension. While we, in most cases, are unable to control the external forces causing these emotions, we can control our reactions to them. We can offset the effects of stressful circumstances by channeling emotional energies in ways that support, instead of hinder us. On this, and the following two CD's, we offer ways to enhance well being, deepen our connection to nature and expand our consciousness. Through meditations, breathing exercises and HypnoJourneys (a combination of ancient shamanic journeying practices and modern hypnosis techniques), you will find Pathways to Inner Peace.

        Dead Can Dance, er, died in 1999, but the corpse of that band was barely cold before its members spun off in different directions. To the solo careers of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry, we must now add longtime DCD percussionist Peter Ulrich. But fans, beware: though Ulrich incorporates some of his old band's grandiose medievalist and world-music tendencies, Pathways and Dawns has more in common with the art-pop of Brian Eno (circa Before and After Science), the quieter side of Pink Floyd (pre-Dark Side of the Moon), and the apocalyptic bardic balladry of Sol Invictus. This is particularly evident in Ulrich's singing, which he does in a treacly, somewhat affected late-'60s British psychedelic style--perhaps the disc's only weakness. Fortunately, there are other elements to focus on. The percussion, of course, is first-rate, and the varied instrumentation (strings, guitars, horns, bells) keeps your ear at attention, particularly on "Life Amongst the Black Sheep," whose sound alternates among Irish folk dance, tribal drum circle, and pastoral folk. Other highlights include "Taqaharu's Leaving," a quietly dramatic lament about a boy going off to war; the Dead Can Dance-like instrumental "Journey of Discovery"; and "Evocation," a rousing, theatrical, mesmerizingly bombastic number complete with a choir, pan flute, and angry horns. --Steve Landau

        Album Description

        1999 solo debut by the former drummer with Dead Can Dance. Brendan Perry, DCD's enigmatic leader, played on and produced most of the eight atmospheric tracks.

        4 out of 5 stars Puts a smile on your face........2004-06-29

        Being a big fan of Dead Can Dance, this cd was number 1 on my list to hunt down on my subsequent rare visit to a big city. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but of course was unable to listen to it without DCD's magnificent albums tinting my outlook.

        Taqaharu's Leaving blew me away from the outset, it is the most DCD-like track on the album, but saying that, Peter Ulrich is under no obligation to create music in the same vein as DCD, and his own artistic vision does indeed reveal itself as a diverse beast.

        Like so many people have said, I detect similarities in his delivery and style to early Brian Eno, and in this he veers away from DCD. There is also a kind of 1960's folk-troubadore innocence on the air here, and even the melancholy songs seem to me to be infused with optimism.

        Life Amongst The Black Sheep is a definite highlight, it has something of a medieval feel to it, and is altogether a really charming song. Brendan's hurdy-gurdy playing draws the magic forth.

        Tracks 4, 5 and 6 are all a little weak in places, methinks. I have to say that I was taken aback (probably visibly) by the gooey Nocturne at first listen, which paddles in a rather yucky "easy listening" soup,(though if you survive the limp first minute or so, the song does build to something altogether stronger).

        Evocation has some really nice ideas in the way it unfolds, but there is something about the lyrics, or perhaps their delivery, that makes me cringe every time, plus I find myself comparing this track, and Journey Of Discovery, to DCD's album Spiritchaser, despite myself, and I have to say these tracks pale in comparison, they feel flimsy and are smitten at times with a New-Agey kitsch that never blighted DCD.

        Happily, the album ends with two very strong songs, and I am always tempted to return to the beginning and play the album over again.

        It's been 7 years since the bulk of this album was recorded with Brendan at Quivvy Church, and I understand there is a follow up album in the works, but wherever is it? I for one am eager to see how things evolve with the next album.

        Pathways And Dawns always cheers me up, and I often reach for it for a burst of it's positive essence. Good on you, Mr Ulrich!

        2 out of 5 stars awful.......2003-02-10

        Perhaps I set my expecations too high, being that Peter was from DCD, but it was simply terrible. The music was a feined attempt at what the spirit of DCD was, but didn't even come close. I regret risking money on this album, and will definitely be getting rid of it as quickly as possible.

        4 out of 5 stars pleasant surprise.......2003-01-06

        On first listening to this album, I had no idea Ulrich was a member of Dead Can Dance, though I can now hear the influences. This is a lighter, mellower, more New Age-y type sound, especially in the vocals. The musicianship, the world music influences, and the provocative lyrics keep it soaring above such elevator-Muzak fodder as John Tesh, Yanni, and the more recent incarnations of Tangerine Dream. The Projekt label puts out one quality release after another, and this one is no exception.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent First Effort.......2000-08-29

        Very infrequently do I find a CD where every song on it I like. This debut work from Robert Ulrich (sometimes percussionist for Dead Can Dance) is a true sonic pleasure from start to finish. The lyrics and the musical arrangement are combined into a hauntingly beautiful style to make for excellent listening. I have had it several months now and find myself enjoying more with every listen. Anyone who enjoys the offerings of DCD, Enigma, Alan Parsons and some of the quieter moments on Pink Floyd needs to check this out. Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry helped with the recording and production of this album and his influence is definitely present. Check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

        5 out of 5 stars A fine debut.......1999-10-15

        After the demise of Dead Can Dance I've anxiously awaited the solo cd from Brendan Perry but after hearing Peter Ulrich's solo debut it is nice to know that Brendan and Lisa aren't the only two pursuing solo careers. I loved Peter's cd. More so than Lisa and Brendan this CD is closer to The Dead Can Dance sound than either solo efforts from Lisa and Brendan. Peters music evokes eternal thoughts of sadness and introspection. A very fine debut and I look forward to his next release. Excellent work Peter.

            5 out of 5 stars Great Under-The-Radar CD.......2007-05-10

            Hidden Pathways is one of Bruce Mitchell's early releases on the Narada Records sub classification Lotus series label. Narada attempted having three sub labels to help classify their budding artists. Narada was strictly New Age, Lotus was meditative, ambient and soothing with the third group of Equinox being reserved for the more jazz-rock fusion oriented instrumentations.

            Back in 1987, this CD was fresh sounding and after spinning the disc a moment ago, must admit that it is still refreshing. The blend of keyboards and world percussion instruments along with some excellent session drumming combines to make this a must have for the New Age collector. The first song, kicks off with a toe-tapping melody on keyboards, tambourine, synth strings and finally drums and bass to the lead acoustic piano. What is odd is that the first track fades out and the second song, Apex, starts with a bit of a jolt as the volume of this track seems to be a good 20 Db louder than the loudest point in the preceding song. Nonetheless, it has it's own excitement and is very enjoyable.

            Reflections is one of those songs that uses a familiar refrain on which to continue building layers of instruments and counter-melodies. A very enjoyable tune that uses the first half of the song as a prelude to the final half.

            The Far Country also has an Asian feel to it at the onset only to hint of a more middle-Eastern sound summing up with a good old country Celtic feel from the penny whistle and harp work on this song. Seems strange but all of these elements fit together quite well!

            Gateway To The Sun sounds as if it were written and even performed by David Arkenstone as it holds the cinematic music-score type sound complete with Arkenstone's love of high frequency sounds from instruments, bells, synthesizers, etc. This is another nice toe-tapper. A good one for driving with the roof down!

            Zone II definitely has an Oriental feel with the big drums and flute at the beginning of this song. The song incorporates the Tubular Bells type of musical round in which the music retains a central theme and is repeated and built upon with each successive pass.

            Dharma is magical and probably the high point of the CD which isn't really fair as it sounds altogether different than the rest of the selections. I purchased this CD after hearing the original Narada Sampler (1) and was surprised that the rest of Bruce Mitchell's songs did not sound like the one for which I purchased the CD. Fortunately, it was not a bad thing as the entire collection on Hidden Pathways is very enjoyable... even after 20 years! The remaining selections I did not specifically mention are slower and carry more of a thoughtful melody line. All in all FIVE Stars!
