Fantastic Music Extravaganza.......2007-02-24
Flamenco a go-go is an extraordinary musical journey, so deep and emotional that really surprised me. I was a little skeptical about this release even if I always liked a lot of things Steve did in the past and I have always admired his talent and musicality sincerely. But this title, this word, "flamenco" left me with some doubts (even if I like a lot of spanish stuff from Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin etc). I did buy this one almost for collection reasons but when I listened it for the first time, it really blew my mind! The incredible sonic magma Steve presents here is something really unique and of the highest musical value. I mean, it's art, can't say more than this. It's not something made for commercial reasons but it's a labour of love. Pure love, pure art without compromises. Some of you maybe could think at this work as some sort of elevator music due to the ingredients of this awkward release, classical guitar, synth, loops, flamenco influences and an "old fashioned" hair metal guitar hero ... Nothing more wrong my friends! What we have here is a fantastic musician, really creative and corageous but even a greater artist and songwriter. The music is really creative you have to go deep in it for yourself to believe. Sure there are some flamenco's characteristics here and there, but this music is something totally unique and totally Steve Stevens in the end because his musical personality, even the same you maybe appreciated in Atomic Playboys or in the Billy Idol's works (like I did), is here in every single bit of music. There are amazing musical twists and turns, melodic lines, guitar chops and new, totally unpredictable arrangements here fused into something new and unique. It is right like another guy said in another review, there are some James Bond quotations here and there, really funny and clever. I told you, it's something different, a record that every music lover should own .. I want to add just this. Steve's musicality is not something you meet very often. It is something precious, his melodic ideas, his music concepts are brilliant and precious, believe me, I'm a musician. The use of colours in music is something Steve has mastered, some tunes are exotic, some evocative, some aggressive, some tender and dreamy. Each tune is unique, I particularly love "Cinecittà" and "Riviera 68", or "Our man in Istanbul" but I don't want to point out one song, because every tune here is meticolously tailor made to project an array of emotions and has tons of things to admire from a musical and artistic point of view. Discover them for yourself! The only song that I find Steve could do better is the opener. I don't like the arrangement ... too much Gypsy Kings for me! But apart from that ... a perfect album. I know that probably this one is not for everyone. People generally tend to like a music genre and to go only for that. If this is your case, this is not your album. This album is for those who have no prejudice, those who want to put the cd in the reader, close the lights and be taken on a musical journey they never took and that they will never forget. I would sugggest this one to my best friends.
In the end one thing about the cd. Mine is the enhanced version (I don't know if there's another one without the extra materials but anyway ...). You can find the video footage for the tune Dementia which is in the cd. It is a live version recorded on tour. Really nice! Then you will find a Steve's short bio and essentially nothing more. And one thing more. This album is recorded very very well. Actually I didn't have the chance to listen it in my hi end system but I will do ASAP and I'll write something about the recording qualities of this album that I feel they are a lot. ENJOY!!
Steve Stevens acoustic - almost..........2007-01-18
Granted, not everyone is a Steve Stevens fan. If you're not a fan, there may be a track or two here that would entice you - especially if you are into Flamenco guitar or just like instrumentals.
If you are a Steve Stevens fan, then this CD is probably a must have but likely not a frequent listen. Like for the non-fans, there are definitely tracks here that'll find their way onto your iPod and work well in a shuffle.
Personally, I listen to alot of instrumental music - especially guitar work. This is the first solo Stevens CD I've purchased. I started with Bozzio/Steven/Levins "Situation Dangerous" (Five+ stars there). I keep in in iTunes on a shuffle while I write.
I'm a PhD student. I spend alot of time writing and have to drown out the rest of the world. For that purpose, this CD works well. The mix is space-filling and drowns out even the most rowdy grad lounges or coffee shops. It'd probably be good to run to as well - if I ever put my running shoes on again...
flameco a go-go.......2006-07-04
i was disapointed. His compositions had some great ideas that he just didn't follow thru.
Blast of Guitar Creativity.......2005-07-02
Flamenco A Go-Go is not so much about Steve Steven's guitar playing (which is stupendous) as it is about the total flaming fabric of sound Steve weaves. The whole thing has a vaguely flamenco, or arabian feel to it. There's also a hint of 50's spy thriller in it. Some song are blasting torrents of acoustic flamenco with strong backing, others are soft acoustic melodies with solo flute backing. But even that soft track whacks you when you least expect it with a harder rock section. There's even a vocal track -- in some kind of arabic! -- incredibly, it fits right in. Altogether it's a roller coaster ride of melody and composition.
If you have some firm idea about what you are expecting, don't get this CD -- it won't match up. It's unlike any other CD, even from Steve. But if you can keep an open mind, you will heartily enjoy this wide-ranging flamenco-guitar-rock album.
FLAMENCO? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' FLAMENCO!.......2005-02-26
Don't be fooled by the title. While the music does have a flamenco sound to it, the pieces often rock very hard, and even the slower numbers or more traditional numbers have explosive moments and amazing guitar work as their underpinning. I first heard the song Our Man In Istanbul on a Warren Miller DVD and was instantly hooked. The sonic dynamics on this CD are incredible, and you will want a lot of this stuff on your MP3 players when you go skiing, boarding, jogging or biking at a fast clip. It is uplifting, stimulating and beautiful all at once. I strongly recommend this CD!
