Rain -> 35 dollars Later (Dec. 12 2010 14:50:18)

I think I'm about to upset many people here by saying that I don't get the hype surrounding the new Diego del Morao CD, after listening to it many times I find it to be just "Pretty". I have yet to hear a piece on it that makes me go WOW I would really love to learn that falseta or tune. To me it sounds very watered down, watered down like the bad jazz that you hear on an elevator, or watered down like some new age guitar. No, I do not think that Diego is a new age guitarist nor do I think that he is not amazing, because I have heard a lot of amazing stuff by him, but how is this album a flamenco one rather than some kind of new flamenco jazz thing. If Flamenco is about rithym, I ask why is it that I cannot picture a dancer dancing to it? Rather I picture people having a nice QUIET dinner. I remember someone here saying that Paco de Lucia said that Diego may be the greatest guitarist ever, I don't think so, but it surely made me want to listen and 35 dollars later I am still listening, because I truly want to understand the rave regarding this cd Orate. As well I find it lovely to fall asleep to. So shoot me.
