Good to see you post here, Tao. I first made your acquaintance through your CD I bought blindly at Virgin. Fine work, absolutely commendable for the purity and authenticity that you pursued in your recordings. Dave Tate at GSI tells me you are the source and inspiration for his flamenco passion, while Jim Opfer, who posts here, recommended a link to your flamenco: a personal journey, a video I also enjoyed. These additional cuts are pretty interesting. It seems that in your images, as you do in your sound, you seek the unvarnished reality of the matter you describe. In doing so both your CD and Video lack entertaining embellishments, and are both tedious at times. It is the price of your journalistic diary-like approach. Personally, I have your CD on my ipod and had watched your Video a few times. Not something I would gleefully invite friends to listen or watch, however, ‘less they were into flamenco.
