5.0 out of 5 stars a unique CD, June 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Shambahala Moon (Audio CD)

This CD contains some remarkable guitar playing. Where Bola Sete's "Ocean Memories" contains openly dramatic music, this CD is quiet, personal, and very deep. It isn't really jazz, or Brazilian style, or any specific style, but just the composer's own music. It's like being inside his head. The playing is immaculate and the guitar (a steel string acoustic) very well recorded. Best listened to in quiet surroundings, this is one CD that will last for a lifetime of listening. Attractive artwork, including a good photo of the composer, full detailed notes. Very strongly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Bola's Best, May 28, 2005

i bought this CD based on the other reviews on Amazon & was very disappointed when i finally got it... i own 4 other Bola Sete CDs & this is easily my least favorite & will soon be for sale... i LOVE Bolas' music & guitar playing [see some of my other reviews] BUT this CD is not that music... much more "new age" sounding & dissonant than his other recordings... unless you're a collector of all of Bolas' recordings- i'd spend my money on his other recordings like "Ocean Memories" or "Tour de Force".

This review is from: Shambahala Moon (Audio CD)

I have never heard anything like it. It puts feelings into music unlike anything else I have ever heard. Bola is one of my favorite musicians and this might be the best album he ever recorded. The sound is lush, full and very spiritual. I recommend this to every one with ears
