EDIT: To make it short and easyer to jump on me: Paco Fernandez is a good guitarrist, but hes very arogant, self-loving and unpolite. Well, I should like him for that, because Im unpolite, too. hmmm...

hey

i have listened to the album and the video kind of acknowledges my impression, that this project is very artistic, both in a good and bad way. Its very well done, nice, modern, but its also very narcistic a bit? i really loved some things... like where you hear horse steps, and then it becomes compas... crazy well mixed. on the other hand i didnt understand why he used this blues singing, or the indian compas-voices on the track "gandhi". It didnt seem to fit at all. I mean i like the idea of involving studio mixing with sound effects, but it has to fit the style, the "flamenconess" (???). I mean, the horse steps became compas, but the other things were just inserted without interacting.. Fusion to me is only good fusion when it melts together, interacting with each other, not standing next to each other...

Well after all, i like his playing and compositions and all. Hes always clean and never tries things beyond his limits (hence the cleanness). Its good. I dont know him personal anyway and probably never will, so, its good.

Frankly I think Sastipen Tali is a fabulous effort, with some truly unique and inspiring flamenco fusion far removed from any of the negative connotations you'd usually have of that word in connection with "flamenco". And besides, it's only one or two tracks that truly stand out in that way. I think it works fantastically on the title track. The one with the Indian vocals I don't like so much as well, and the album loses some steam at the end but it's still one of my favourites from recent years.
