The final volume in the series of Global Meditation albums on Ellipsis, this one deals primarily with wind and string instruments, though not exclusively (officially dealing with "melody" as a theme, but six of ten songs are for forms of flutes, etc., and the other four are for strings).

The final volume in the series of Global Meditation albums on Ellipsis, this one deals primarily with wind and string instruments, though not exclusively (officially dealing with "melody" as a theme, but six of ten songs are for forms of flutes, etc., and the other four are for strings). As usual, the span covered is broad, as the songs switch quickly from Celtic to Sufi to Korean without batting an eye. Some of the highlights on the album include G.S. Sachdev's raga on the bansuri flute (a smallish Indian folk flute now used in classical music) and a quick paced work of Persian classical from the island of Zanzibar. Also included is a lush composition by the Guo Brothers of China (featured on the soundtrack to Last Emperor) and an improv by Egyptian ethnomusicologist Soliman Gamil (also featured on volume two). Finally, the album ends with a contemplative work by an unnamed master of the Japanese shakuhachi flute. Overall quite a well put together album, with a little something for everyone. ~ Adam Greenberg, Rovi
