The six pieces that follow are dramatically different yet somehow intertwined. All Roads are Made of the Flesh should have a lot of curious listeners waiting to see where Kip Hanrahan's travels lead to next. Where much of the new global fusion is rhythm as an intellectual exercise, Hanrahan's music evoke the many textures of desire and sensuality.
