Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The greatest dance music producers are influenced by the rhythms of many cultures. Frequent Flyer focuses on those locales around the world that have had a profound influence on dance music. Frequent Flyer: Barcelona is the latest CD in the series and the second of four new "Destinations." For this edition, we touch down in the capital of Catalonia, the heart and soul of Spain's cultural renaissance and a city that leads the way in architecture, food, fashion and of course music. Taking inspiration from the many varied forms of Flamenco the music on Frequent Flyer: Barcelona is a subtle mix of laid-back electronic beats and shimmering acoustic guitars. The music mix is perfect for languid afternoons spent sipping sangria with friends, so sit back and relax...

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty damn good!, May 12, 2007

By	Tahoe Ray Kamman (Hayward, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a fan of the Frequent Flyer series, having purchased Kingston, Rio De Janeiro and Buenos Aires before. This one once again highlights an exotic city and selects tunes made in, or inspired by the loungy, electronica scene in Barcelona. The first disc is lighter in mood and sound while the second one is deeper and more intense. If you would like to hear a new twist on Flamenco, then pick this up!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Spanish Music, June 26, 2007

By	M. Ward (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a fan of music from around the world. Sometimes I want to listen to Irish, sometimes Indian/Bollywood, sometimes Spanish. This is not Spanish. Granted, most of the singing is Spanish, but there is no doubt that most of the songs sound like they're from... Bollywood?

Yup, most of the songs are extremely Indian in flavor. I did not get this CD set with the hopes of hearing Spanish sung to Indian beats and with Indian inflections/vocal modulation. But that's what this is. A friend of mine who is a native Spanish speaker even attested some of the vocals, while Spanish, were actually tinged with an Indian accent. Couldn't this collection have had music actually from Spain?

If you have hopes for something guitar flavored or merely Spanish in the most stereotypical of senses, steer far from this. The Argentinian and Red Eye Frequent Flyer collections are not bad, however, and true to their titles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, September 8, 2009

By	Great Guy (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This CD is just what I wanted, which was music that allowed me to get into a meditational, hang-out mood. The vendor was excellent, 'cause I got this at almost 1/2 off the new price, yet it was brand new in the shrink wrap. Very interesting Spanish influence in the music. If you have a stereo w/ huge old school woofers, you'll be happy w/ the bass (Mine are 3-way speakers w/ 12" woofers.) But a medium volume is preferred, and the EQ should have plenty of mid- and high-range frequencies because the sound effects and voice tracks add to the experience.
