The Crossing (video Game)
''The Crossing'' is a cancelled first-person shooter video game by Arkane Studios, which attempted to fuse single-player and multiplayer by threading its single-player campaign through live multiplayer games. The game was first announced on 9 January 2007, but put "on hold" on 15 May 2009 after the company ran into "an unexpected financial challenge" and decided to focus on smaller projects. ''The Crossing'' was later officially cancelled for Arkane Studios to work on ''LMNO'' with Electronic Arts and Steven Spielberg, which was also cancelled. Story The game incorporated the idea of parallel universes, and was to be set across two vastly different renditions of modern day Paris. In one universe, which shares many aesthetic similarities to our own, Paris has descended into chaos following the collapse of government. In the other, the timeline diverged in 1307; where instead of being disbanded, the Knights Templar seize control of the French crown. The story takes the player a ...

The Crossing (Menahan Street Band Album)
''The Crossing'' is the second full-length studio album by American rhythm and blues group Menahan Street Band. It has received positive reviews from critics. Reception Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Fred Thomas writing that this album "expands somewhat on the band's debut, with the group plucking inspiration from a wide spectrum of soul and funk subcategories" and the band "cultivates a rich collection of emotionally complex instrumental soul, with precise musicianship meeting inspired production and a deeply studied obsession with the often sampled and less often acknowledged obscure geniuses of soul music". Len Comaratta of ''Consequence of Sound'' scored this album a B, noting the band's non-soul influences and states that a "slightly haunting, lower-timbre" runs through most of the album. In ''The Irish Times'', Jim Carroll gave ''The Crossing'' 4 out of 5 stars, characterizing the music: "these tight, moody, sumptuous instrumentals are w ...

The Crossing (Dave Brubeck Album)
''The Crossing'' is 2001 studio album by pianist Dave Brubeck and his quartet. Many of the pieces on the album were dedicated to various people in Brubeck's life. "All My Love" was dedicated to his wife, Iola, "Bessie" for his mother, and "Mariel" to his fourth grandchild. "Randy Jones" was a tribute to Brubeck's longtime drummer, Randy Jones. Reception Ken Dryden reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "...Dave Brubeck still has the drive that he had some 40 years earlier, both as a performer and composer. All nine compositions appear on disc for the first time, starting with "The Crossing," Brubeck's lively musical vision of a passenger ship getting underway for a long trip across the ocean, though a ship's engines would burn out if they kept up with the intensity of this piece...Overall, this is yet another memorable release by Dave Brubeck". Reviewing the album for the ''Jazz Times'', Larry Appelbaum wrote that "Dave Brubeck may well be the Energizer Bunny of the j ...

The Crossing (Big Country Album)
''The Crossing'' is the debut album released by Scottish band Big Country. The album reached #3 in the UK; overseas, it hit #4 in Canada on the ''RPM'' national Top Albums Chart and #18 in the US on the ''Billboard'' 200 in 1983. It went on to be certified platinum in the UK and Canada. It contains the song "In a Big Country" which is their only U.S. Top 40 hit single. Stuart Adamson and fellow guitarist Bruce Watson used the MXR Pitch Transposer 129 effect pedal to create a guitar sound reminiscent of bagpipes. Also contributing to the band's unique sound was their use of the e-bow, a hand-held device which, through the use of magnets, causes the strings of an electric guitar to vibrate producing a soft attack which sounds more like strings or synthesizer. The album has been remastered and reissued on three occasions. The latest version released by Universal in 2012 in advance of the album's 30th anniversary includes a second disc of previously unissued demos. Also included i ...
