A Thousand Roads OST Lisa Gerrard and Jeff Rona (Wide Blue Sky Records 2006) Here, we havea new exotic collection of worldly film score work from Australian composer, Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard. Following up her fine compositions for Whale Rider, Ms Gerrard joins Jeff Rona in scoring the soundtrack for A Thousand Roads. Needless to say, she's definitely found her (second?) calling. On its own without the film's visual accompaniment, the soundtrack's numerous diverse voices, woodwind and string arrangements and haunting drones make for a deeply moving 'of the earth' listening experience. Sure to please fans of her solo work as well as those of Dead Can Dance. Guests include John Trudell, R. Carlos Nakai, Ulali, Douglas Spotted Eagle, Primeaux & Mike. Review by Dennis Alquis
