5 out of 5 stars Guitar Magic!!!.......2004-02-05

I've been listening non stop to all 4 of Dominic's CD's and am just amazed at the inspiration i'm hearing in his playing.
Acoustic Captivity is unbelievable but actually seeing him play live is even better. This CD is one of my favorites of all time as far as Acoustic Guitar music goes. Dominic is a guitar God!!!

5 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful!.......2002-04-05

From the clear, resonant notes of the cd to the final track, "Acoustic Captivity" is as radiant as a hothouse flower.

Gaudious is an inspired performer, amazing musician, and gifted composer. You cheat your ears if you choose to not buy this recording..

5 out of 5 stars A Great Guitarist!!.......2001-02-26

I had the pleasure of seeing Dominic play in person at a Borders music/book store. I had never heard of him before but instantly loved his music. I am not in his generation (grew up with 60's rock) but I know a great guitarist when I see one, and he is one of them. He played music from all of his CD's, not just Acoustic Captivity. Now I have to buy the other two for my collection! His passion for his music shows in his performance and he throws all of his energy into each song. His finale was so strong and powerful that he broke a guitar string midway through, but he never batted an eye and you wouldn't have known it by the sound. If you want to hear a person play the guitar like very few people can then you have to listen to his music! And to top it off....I now have an autographed copy of this CD!!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fabulous -- innovative instrumental.......2000-03-17

I can't keep this CD on my desk because my co-workers keep borrowing it! Dominic's music blends innovative acoustic guitar work with fantastic songwriting. Its instrumental nature makes it perfect for listening to at work. I can't wait for his next album, which (I believe) is due this spring.

5 out of 5 stars Pure mastery!.......1999-12-17

This is an excellent album to have in any collection! The didjeridu is a wonderful compliment to Dominic's music in many of the songs.

The title track "Acoustic Captivity" is excellent! The solo guitar on "Micro Jet" and "Bridging the Gap" are purely wonderful melodies to listen to. I fell in love with "Lost," dynamic and intense! "The Complicated Splendor" had a spanish feel with the rare to hear 12-string guitar and wonderful ballad. "Naked Arabians" is a wonderful added variety to the album with a definite middle eastern theme. "Time to Sleep" is a wonderful slow tempo song to relax anyone. The last track is upbeat and is definitely different than any of the other tracks. The song uses thunder, birds, and other added synthesized elements to mold the song properly titled "A New Day (Overcast)."

I find Dominic's music very innovative and inspirational. After seeing this superb performer in action with his amazing hands and fingers, you can't help but to buy one of Dominic's albums. A true musician who can compose, perform, and produce an excellent album!
