Backroads Music Review Finally; the 1st release from Paul Harlyn, aka Great Barrier is available again by the artist himself. Backroads Music Best of the Year release in '95, The 1st Great Barrier CD is a classic title of melodic, rhythmic, contemporary and catchy music, full of essential tracks and a cohesive flow that few titles can duplicate. "Across the Divide," the 2nd Great Barrier title, with its Native American themes in a similar style as Sacred Spirits, also moves through intricate, driving rhythms and has been a big success here. So if you never had a chance to pick up the first one, now is the time. Keyboard melodies dart in and out, making for a hypnotic, multi-layered mix that draws one in further as the music progresses; deep rooted ambient appeal, ethno-tribal percussion, & strong, dynamic melodies that intersect where ancient meets modern. Also available: "Across the Divide" and “Between Conflict and Resolution”
