"Crossing the Trail" is the first truly knew Vidna Obmana solo effort in recent
memory. Vidna spent the better part of the last few years working on
collaborative efforts with Steve Roahc and others as well as compiling
collections of older material. In essence, this is the first time, I've really
heard modern Vidna Obmana, and the result is breathtaking. "Crossing The Trail"
is very much a back to nature basics album. Animal calling, water babbling,
and wind blowing, are all elements that play a major role in the
composition of this album. While much of the music is keyboard
string sections and natural ethnic instrumentation, it is the truly elemental
nature of the filler material that makes this album come alive. What impresses
me so much is that this album avoids the pitfalls of sounding like
a bad New Age release. Instead, "Crossing The Trail" focuses on a
singular context and is executed perfectly.
