Edge of Time Review
author: Lew Paxton PriceEdge of Time is a new album featuring Neoka Falk on both the Native American flute and the drum. Mark Haskell also did an excellent job of drumming for one of the selections. Flutes from seven flute makers were used and this CD may be the first to use a Native American flute with Middle Eastern tuning. Playing and recording quality are excellent, as is the order of the selections. Playing time is 62 minutes. Neoka's music invokes the desolation and loneliness of the Sahara; the contrasts between the rock, sand, and lush vegetation of ancient Persia; the splendor of old India; a great reverence for fresh flowing water; the expanse of the Arabian Sea; the joy of love and celebration, and more. A oneness with nature pervades each of the selections, and a recognition of humanity's brief and transitory nature in a universe too old and too large to comprehend. As the music progresses, one begins to realize that each selection is unique and appropriate for showing the "edge of time" moving through eternity. The last selection, Call of the Whales, emphasizes the cyclic yet constant nature of something which changes every moment and yet never seems to change from one millennium to the next - the sea.
