Gordon McPherson's 2013 release, "McPherson, G.: Detours / Maps and Diagrams of our Pain / Born of Funk and The Fear of Failing," is a compelling journey through a diverse landscape of sound. Spanning nearly two hours, this triple album showcases McPherson's versatility and depth as an artist. The first part, "Detours," begins with "Echo's Tape" and takes listeners through a series of evocative tracks, each with its own unique character, culminating in the powerful "Phoenix." The second part, "Maps and Diagrams of our Pain," delves into more introspective territory, offering a raw and honest exploration of human emotion. The final part, "Born of Funk and the Fear of Failing," brings the album to a close with a dynamic blend of funk-infused energy and introspective reflection. Released under the Métier label, this album is a testament to McPherson's ability to blend genres and create a cohesive, engaging listening experience.
