A pioneering figure in world music from the 1960's through to the 80's, Paul's Horn's repertoire over those decades ranged from contemporary jazz to deep ambient. He is still regarded by fans as one of the world's great flautists and his playing on these albums is refreshingly intuitive and often subtly coloured by various non-Western traditions. On his most famous album Inside The Taj Mahal his meditative flute musings are nurtured by the remarkable natural acoustics of the building’s central dome. Similarly, Inside The Great Pyramid sees Horn using the natural resonance of several chambers in the famous Egyptian monument to create beautiful, other-worldly wind music. Nomad is an extensive and intelligently compiled best-of collection.
