5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album! When is the next one!, May 27, 2004

By	Lance D. Yarbrough (Mississippi, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like guitar music from Bill Monroe, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins to Joe Satriani.
It looks like I will have to add ALDO to the list.

Just to wait for the slow fade up on Track 1, which is the title track, "Close To You" gives a sense of anticipation. Almost a tingle in the upper part of your spin and your ears can not wait to feel the strums of the strings. "Silent Star's" accompaniment gives a listener an Enya-like harmony yet adds an indescribable feeling to the music. Every one the ten tracks are an experience. I only wish that ALDO would give some indications to what inspired each song other than the title as a clue.

If you were looking for a contemporary classical guitar album, on par with the skill, power of performance and creative genius as other performers like Yanni and Carlos Santana? This is the album for you. The album is excellent for background dinner music, relaxing, or other appropriate adult activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guitar Music, July 2, 2004

By	Robert Lee Johnson (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

One of the Best Contemporary Guitar CDs I have ever heard.
My Guitar Hereos are Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, John Williams, and I have to put Aldo in the class with the finer Guitarists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aldo's music is beautiful, February 7, 2005

By	Farrokh Attarzadeh (Sugar Land, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first came across the Aldo music through the latest release of a CD called Passion by Soothingmusic.com. This CD was actually the 2005 release of Mehdi, that I happened to have all his CDs and enjoy them all very much. Having listened to the Aldo tracks (3 of them) so many times, I decided to have the full CD by Aldo which I got about a month ago. Aldo's music is beautiful and all tracks sound just great. I recommend this CD to all instrumental music lovers.
