4.0 out of 5 stars some new things, but not a break through yet, January 13, 2006

Armik takes some new approach in this album. I heard a bit world element and jazzy background. But I felt his guitar style, although still with excellent talent, has still not try new things so it sound not different than many of his previous works. Almost all songs in this album is very active and lively, so pick this if you're looking for a music with uplifting mood. I have to mention that the last song, Mi Guitarra, is the one of the most amazing solo I ever heard, extremely fast Paco De Lucia-like playing. Armik is one of the few guitarist I know who can play very fast and still retain beautiful melody and emotions in the music.

One thing I have to criticize is that this album might be a bit compressed. It sound much louder than my other cds. Maybe a bit in your face. For audiophiles too much compression can lead to a lost of dynamic, the threshold between the most silent noise and loudlest noise is closer so the all the the sound have the same loudness.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best Armik album, May 16, 2005

I can't believe anyone has reviewed this remarkable work. I have 5-6 CDs by Armik but this one is definitely the best one. Treasures, Passion, Timeless, Moonrise, Together, and Blue Paradise are my favorites. It makes you feel exotic, seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish Heritage with Acoustic Dance Tempo, October 12, 2011

Having heard this album several times, I can say that Armik has a certain style that resonates though all his songs. A flamingo upbeat style, spotted with many pauses in the music, to add tempo and flair, I can just imagine a flamingo dancer on his/her toes, dancing and moving their arms in a classy spanish style with pace of this music. The dance tempo is important to me, since it is lively and clear. The recording is excellent. Song mixture keeps the entire album fun for listening at home, in a background setting, while doing other things in the center stage.
