5.0 out of 5 stars An unmatched and unparalleled guitar album., August 7, 1999

This review is from: Rubia (Audio CD)

I enjoyed the 'Rain Dancer' for nearly six months after I had received it from Amazon and then I ordered 'Gypsy Flame' that contained some wonderful tunes. My girlfriend knows I am a great fan of Armik and she ordered 'Rubia' for me as a present. It is the most wonderful present that I have received in my life. I have listening to 'Rubia' for more than three months now and I must say that although I thought 'Rain Dancer' was the album of the millennium and still do, 'Rubia' is very nearly its equal. The mastery of the flamenco guitar plus the incredible and immense talent for conjuring up tunes and melodies of unheard passion and warmth made 'Rubia' a joy forever for me. My most favourite tunes are: Rubia, Seduction, Moldanado, Escapade, Sapphire Dreams and Veil of Desire. But I think the jewel in the crown is undoubtedly 'Mi Amor.' It is a tour de force. The most romantic piece of guitar music that I have ever heard in my life. Underneath its soft rhythms you can feel an ocean of romance, love and longing rushing and gushing. The notes seem to plead with the modesty and fervor of a true lover and leave the listener spellbound and breathless. Personally, it reminds me of the sweetest person I know who gave this musical gift in the form of 'Rubia' to me. Hats off to Armik. I think it is only a matter of time when Armik will become a household name all over the world. Keep up the good work, Armik. In a world where music seems to mean mindless noise and non-sensical lyrics, you stand tall and way above the rest. Thank you to Amazon for bringing me these timeless classics of Armik's albums that were not available to me in my country, but not for long, I hope. I insist that everyone who thinks he or she enjoys good music should go for 'Rubia' without any second thoughts. Or else they could miss out on something they could cherish forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review Of Mi Amor-A song from Rubia album, January 16, 2000

I have written reviews about all Armik's albums including 'Rubia' but I think this particular tune called 'Mi Amor' deserves a review of its own.

I have been listening to romantic music all my life including instrumental as well but I must admit that I have never come across anything with such passion and romance.

Mi Amor is a timeless classic. It is a joy forever. It is the stuff dreams are made off. It is the language of the heart. It is the melody that angels play in the heavens. It is the heart warming, pulse quickening, hallucinatory tune that drowns you in its love.

The song is so well written that while listening to it, time seems to come to a standstill. The world stops revolving and the whole world around you simply disappears. You come to a place where you are all alone and the only sounds are of your heart beating in sync with the rhythms of Mi Amor.

Mi Amor carries you on its wings to a fairytale land. A land where human emotions are still free and unbound and have not yet been rusted by the mechanical routine of today's life. Mi Amor is the song that every heart yearns to sing to someone. It is the song that every heart yearns to hear from another. I swear that listening to it really makes me feel as if I have been transported to a land that time forgot. It feels I have become part of somebody's dream.

Mi Amor makes you feel as if you are in a boat without oars or a motor. The boat is gently travelling along the water currents. You feel as if you are caught in a time when the world was still brand new.

Mi Amor makes you sweat and it makes you thirsty. It makes you love everyone and everything.

It reminds you what music should be like.

Mi Amor is one of Armik's best and I think that says it all.

A million salutes to the tune and its creator.
