"The Gnostic Preludes is the fourth chapter in the mystically influenced recordings that began with In Search of the Miraculous and continued with Goddess: Music for the Ancient of Days and At the Gates of Paradise ... The Gnostic Preludes is poetic, deceptively simple, and spiritually vast in scope".
"'The Gnostic Preludes: Music Of Splendor' (...) is an uncommonly beautiful, graceful encounter among guitarist Bill Frisell, harpist Carol Emmanuel and vibist Wollesen".
