5.0 out of 5 stars Dominic Miller's Fantastic "First Touch", February 8, 2000

By

This review is from: First Touch (Audio CD)

Although Dominic Miller has been around for quite some time performing with a variety of musicians, this is his first entire album with just his music. It is wonderful. He said in an interview that a lot of people say his music is great to "chill out" to and it is. This music is very soothing and also very moving. Perhaps partly due to the fact that it is mostly (maybe completely) instrumental. If you are looking for the rock star that's been at Sting's right for the last decade, you will not find him on this album. Mr. Miller's "First Touch" is very different from what I initially expected, nonetheless it is fascinating and highly enjoyable. The songs may all sound similar the first time through, but each song has it's own story and it's own personality. It is truly extraordinary to hear the talents of this amazing musician.

5.0 out of 5 stars lovely debut..., December 8, 1999

"First Touch" is a wonderful debut album from Dominic Miller. However, it's a bit misleading to group this CD with Sting and Sarah McLachlan; sure, Miller is Sting's guitarist, but there is nothing even remotely like Sting here. It would be better to group this with the likes of Ottmar Liebert or maybe even Santana.

Miller's music is intensely intimate and soothing, and it reminds me why I fell in love with acoustical guitar in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly Guitar, May 12, 2004

On this album, Dominic Miller displays his amazingly beautiful instrumental guitar music. His emotive and dexterous talent on the guitar deserved to be promoted to solo work, although I also love when he accompanies Sting. I highly recommend First Touch.
