Reviews and
Comments for Lost Canyons
|
"August
has always been a cut or two
above most native flute
players...he's taken it a step
further on Lost Canyons. He
layers guitars, keyboards and all
kinds of percussion into his
compositions, moving from world
fusion to airy ambiences.
August sets [the Native
flute] in a vibrant global
landscape...and lets it drift
into ambient space. Lost Canyons
is a place you won't mind losing
your map. It's our December CD of
the Month on Echoes"

Another
masterpiece for this genre of
music, Scott delivers one of the
most soothing and inspiring CD's
I've heard in quite sometime.
Take a trip to the southwestern
U.S. and venture through nature
and the spirits of the tribes
that dominated the area for
thousands of years, the Pueblos,
Navaho, Hopi and many others.
Scott August, is one of only a
handful of musicians to master
the Anasazi rim blown flute. He
incorporates many other rare
instruments on this CD truly
designating the beauty as world
music. This 12 track instrumental
collection features "Morning
Star", "Swallows and Nighthawks",
"Lost Canyons" and "Evening
Star". A beautiful piece of work.
Five Stars"

"Wow!
Just when you think Scott August
can't make a better recording, he
releases "Lost Canyons" - his
best work to date. Deeply
sublime, deep ambient,
atmospheric world music of the
highest order. Grounded by
Scott's exquisite performances on
the Anasazi flute, this CD is
outstanding! Scott August is a
compositional genius. "Lost
Canyons" belongs in any world and
native american music lover's
collection, and has to be one of
the best world music recordings
of the year.... Buy the CD, take

amazing artistry of Scott
August."

"Lost
Canyons demonstrates Scott
August's multi-instumental
talents as well as his artistic
flute stylings. "Morning
Star's" inspired solo
flute, transports one to a high
place looking down over vast
canyon expanse at sunrise, a
magical experience. Raven's
Dance showcases Scott's ability
to blend complex textures
utilizing western instruments
which he plays flawlessly.
His best work yet, listen
and let your spirit soar."

"The
new CD [Lost Canyons] is
fabulous, especially the strong
opening flute solo that so
resonates with me and my love of
the rivers and canyons of the
Southwest."

"This
latest recording by Scott August
follows in his tradition of
deftly joining Native American
themes with a unique world
instrument tonal texture to give
his music a panache rarely found
in any other recording artists.
He deserves all the accolades he
has received. I believe that this
newest CD will also become
another honor winner."
