This collection of pieces by acoustic guitar maestro Tim Sparks has an Eastern flavor, with Balkan harmonies and rhythms, Transylvanian touches (a Sparksified retelling of Bartok's Rumanian Dances), Turkish dance rhythms, middle-eastern scales and meters, Armenian motifs: all on a guitar!
"Sleeping Giant" beautifully blends flamenco with somewhere further east, somewhere towards Afghanistan: it's my favourite piece from this album. A gentle giant, this one.
A classy, expert and beautiful album, just the thing to test the clarity and range of your new amp. And it might just inspire you dig out your old guitar and start to play again.. but will you ever be this good????
