AMG Review of Canyon Trilogy, Vol. 5

Backroads Music/Heartbeats
All Music Guide

Canyon Trilogy represents a return to the simplicity of Carlos Nakai's earlier albums such as Changes and Journeys. There are no additional instruments here, no rattles, and no chanting, just his haunting flutes, either solo or multi-tracked. The "trilogy" in the title refers to the three sections of the album -- "Dawn's Mirage," "Dreamscapes," and "Resonance."
