Yeah, I've listened to it twice or three times now and I think I'm done. While I have nothing against flamenco at all, I have no particular desire to explore it, and what's here, while the guitar is obviously excellent, doesn't encourage me to change that opinion. I agree with MicShazam about the vocals - both times a vocalist is used it sounds pretty awful to me (the lady sounds like she's just wailing) - maybe this is how vocals in flamenco go, I don't know. But I definitely prefer it when it's just the music. Standouts would be "Minerico", "Galacia" and the opener, but there's nothing here I don't like, apart from the two tracks with vocals on them. There's just nothing I really love. Not for me, sorry. 5/10
