Free Music Notes for Flamenco A Go-Go
Free Music Review: Fantastic Music Extravaganza
Hit: 5 Stars
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 "Cinecitt?" 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!!
