This dualdisc includes the complete album on the CD side. The DVD side includes a film by Bela Fleck and Sascha Paladino titled Long Way Home: A Flecktone Journey. This revealing behind-the-scenes film is filled with interviews and perforamnce. The short film humorously documents the return of the Flecktones ...
The Flecktones do it again. I am a consistent fan of Bela and his Flecktones, so I don't pass up an opportunity to buy any of his albums. He has embraced the new technology, so I recommend the enhanced CD if you have a surround sound system to support it. The video is quite humorous as well.
The music variety is diverse, as usual for the group. The album starts with a brief rendition of a Bach fugue and segues into a brilliant up-tempo bop tune with great soloing from everyone. The Flecktones hit all bases on this album, from bluegrass to the Eastern-inspired, with virtuoso performances throughout. The album manages to be more cohesive than previous efforts as well.
This is a great album to have both as an introduction to the group and certainly is a must-have for the die-hard fan. Submitted by neuro.sax (Cabin John, MD) Was This Hidden Land Music Review Helpful? YesNo
