Wonderfull CD - Guitar music at its best.,
December 5, 1999 By A Customer
This review is from: Obsession (Audio CD)
This is a good addition to the Narada's New Flamenco series a long with Gypsy Passion and Gypsy Soul. Track 8 & 11 (Abundance and Tigris Palace) are my favorites, I just can't get enough of those 2 songs, that music is always in my head, the rest of the songs are ok too. I wish that this collection could include Alex Fox, how could Narada miss him on a collection like this? The sound quality is exceptional thanks to the 24-bit mastering, this is even beter than the 20-bit recording in Gypsy Passion and Gypsy Soul and I thought that Gypsy Passion's sound was excellent already. If you like this "Obsession", I'm sure you will like Gypsy Passion too. Just sit back, relax and let the music take you away to an exotic destination !

The key to setting your expectations level on this CD rests in the sub-title key-word "ROMANCE". I purchased it expecting something along the, lines of Gypsy Soul, or Gypsy Passion (both HIGHLY recommended, but if had to buy just one, Gypsy Passion is the better one, IMHO). During my first listening I was truck by the fascinatingly melodious first & second tracks ("Cancion Trieste" by Jesee Cook & "Loving You" by Oscar Lopez). This is a wonderful CD, with the rare distinction of all but one, or perhaps two, tracks being top billing songs, rather than "filler" tracks. I do question the "flamenco" billing, although it most certainly is flamenco inspired. Perhaps "nuevo flamenco" would be a better choice characterization. Whatever you wish to call it though, it delivers masterful guitar work, and otherwise great music. What stops me from giving this CD 5 stars are a couple of songs which are a bit too jazzy for MY taste. Noteworthy is the exquisite sound delivered...Read more

Very Energetic!!,
February 20, 2004 D. Garvey (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obsession (Audio CD)
I purchased this CD at the recommendation of a friend...I have to admit I have nothing else like it, but I like to find something new and different. This is fun, and great music to cook dinner and entertain friends. It is spicy...energetic, yet has a hint of romance. Very enjoyable...it was worth the money and I know we shall listen to it often in the future.
