Mentidero might be a place in Spain, a lot of his titles have to do with places in Andalucia. It does not have any meaning related to "mentira". Ask on the Paco forum, I am sure they know what it is exactly. La Barrosa for example, is a beach near Algeciras. Or maybe I am a "mentiroso"[;)] Phrygus, yeah I meantioned the bulerias from dos guitarras en stereo with Modrego. Great stuff on that one, but the other duet albums are little bit more about fullfilling the contract with the record company. Lot's of little ideas taken and pieced together to make duets with that one album with Ramon, not bad. But you could also make a whole separate Anthology of tid bits and falsetas from his albums like that or accompanying all the different singers. As far as the other albums, playing the "hits" means, you are done with doing the artistic stuff, and just trying to boost record sales. The latin american stuff ranks up there with his collaborations with Placido, Iglesias, Bryan Adams. A bit "cheesy" for me. The albums I chose nothing for the anthology, but still enjoy, are the classical stuff (Falla, Rodrigo), Castro Marin (reworking of Solo Quiero Caminar material), the other three live albums, Teatro Real, FNISF with Al and John, and Live One Summer night. Also I love some of the cuts on Guitar Trio (96), especially where he trades with Mclaughlin (Letter from India, Midsmmer night). Again, there could be a whole other anthology of his more successful fusions and classical guitar projects. For example, they use movement I of rodrigo in the Anthology, no doubt for time restrictions. But we all know it is really the movement II that is so special, but LONG. Ricardo
