The piece begins with some brooding trumpet work by Isham and gradually evolves into a stirring crescendo of brass, piano and percussion. Then, with most of the instruments creeping into fade-out, the only remaining element is Lande on piano, hauntingly sounding out note after gradual note, evoking an eerie stillness that is both exhilarating and utterly unnerving. This album is for anyone who likes "new age" with a bite (a la Philip Glass or Brian Eno) and without the saccharine ponderings of a Yanni or an Andreas Vollenweider. Whatever genre it belongs to, "We Begin" is a true find.
