It's extremely rare that some one like PDL comes along reinventing himself every couple years Doesn't Vicente do that too? And usually gets grilled for his trouble. I guess my point is more that once all the toques have been demonstrated, which might take 2 or 3 full albums, most players have said it all artisitically in flamenco guitar genre. Along with accomp for a GOOD singer, the complete flamenco guitarist will have demonstrated his or her contribution to the art, and should not be otherwise obligated to make a studio recording statement. Vicente, despite what you guys might feel, pretty much said it all by Ciudad de las Ideas, with even here a couple rehashed ideas. Poeta had TWO "pieces", or lets say falsetas since one had singing and rehashed falsetas too, that were new, and the rest was just orchestra around his previous ideas. The result of the music experience with the poetry and lyrics is nice and dramatic, but basically the idea that was done with PDL's music on Duende, that being a fleshing out of the guitar falsetas for small string ensemble. As a statement of creativity it is nothing but fluff compared to his solo album nor his work with Pele and Jose Merce. I feel he said it all back then, and his projects since, enjoyable or not so much, are not really "new". As we follow our favorite players live performances on youtube, and with the advent of the new state of the recording industry, I don't see a big excitement anymore about ANYBODY'S anticipated studio recordings. I would say I am more interested in any new artists that might appear to be honest. I give a possible exception to Antonio Rey, but this is more based on live concerts as his last two studio efforts were quite similar. Again, I feel his style is now set in stone he just hasn't laid it all down on tape yet.
