5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful acoustic guitar ensemble, March 5, 2000

This review is from: Touchwood (Audio CD)

This release by New Zealand quartet Gitbox is full of stunning acoustic guitar work with a wide range of styles including jazzy, african, folksy, and classical. Accompanied by occasional instruments including cello, violin, and the sheng, a rich tapestry of sound has been created. In the spirit of releases from Robert Fripp guitar craft alumnis such as California Guitar Trio and Los Gauchos Alemanes, this CD definitely stands apart as an amazing and unique work. Highly enjoyable, highly recommended.

If you enjoy eclectic acoustic instrumental music, you should have this in your collection. Good sunday morning cup-of-coffee music.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are two groups named "Gitbox", March 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Touchwood (Audio CD)

Don't make the same mistake I did and confuse this with the group Gitbox! who released the album "Last Night I Dreamt of Gary Indiana". It's not the same group...

If you're into world music and like the light backgroup guitar, then you'll like this, but I think it's just not interesting enough to listen to with my full attention. They try to be jazzy, but can't really swing, try to be classical, but not really there either.
