CD Reviews

Sublime & Joyful
Jane | 08/30/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This record is a shear delight. Music that is at once tranquil, inspiring, beautiful, and joyful. Lisa Gerrard (of Dead Can Dance fame) and Jeff Rona have borrowed from the traditional folk music of the indiginous people of the Western hemishphere to create an amazing, contemporary and really unique score. It's playing as I write this."
Judging the work for the quality of the art

"This album is an accomplished, gorgeous tribute that should only lead to a thousand roads of compliments. Some of the aforementioned reviewers (such as Brent Michael Davids - Composer, Mohican Nation) prove laughable in their perspectives of "hyper-political correctness." Amazon is such a mystery: that a reviewer with an Anglo name, but referring to himself as "Composer, Mohican nation," would have the nerve to criticize Lisa Gerrard (a seasoned world musician) for doing this album.



A Thousand Roads is a wonderful release that should be treasured for its inherent sound and the attention it is bringing to a culture. The entire spirit of Dead Can Dance was to bring many worlds together. Lisa Gerrard is proudly keeping this important tradition alive and well."
A Good Album is a Good Album

"Thanks for the background on this movie's soundtrack Mr. Davids, and it's great to know you support Native American musicians. But to give this album one star out of five just because Lisa Gerrard isn't Native American is ridiculous, and frankly, racist. Peter Gabriel's "Long Walk Home: Music from the Rabbit-Proof Fence" was a similarly haunting, ethereal collection of songs. The movie focused on the aboriginal peoples of Australia. Think anyone cared that Peter Gabriel isn't an aborigine? Like Gabriel, Gerrard has worked with musicians of several ethnic origins, and has always made efforts to support and promote them. This in turn increases cultural awareness of marginalized ethnicities for the mainstream consciousness, and represents one of the fundamental altruistic forces in what has been blanket-termed "world music." We should applaud musicians like Gerrard, not castigate them. Or, the very least, we should judge music by the talent of the composer, not by that composer's ethnicity. -Amahl Turczyn Scheppach, music lover. Ethnic Origin: White/Other."
