Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I love this album!.......2007-03-04

This is probably the only album I own out of 100 that is mostly if not entirely instrumental. I first heard Marc Antoine on the song "Escape" composed by Jim Brickman. I first listened to the copy of Jim Brickman's album but after the listen I realized Marc Antoine was the best part of that song, so I got his album instead. I was not disappointed by this album (probably the most romantic I own). "Cubanova" is the best track but "Gotham" is pretty incredible too. Great background music to listen to, especially at night.

2 out of 5 stars Lots of potential, somewhat of a disappointment.......2005-12-29

There are some excellent ideas and potential in here, but the CD is marred by a few fatal flaws.

1. Endings of the songs - there are only 3 songs that have endings. The rest just "fade out." It gets very annoying having song after song fade out without any conclusive ending. 3 out of 11 is not very many.

2. There are a few songs that introduce one theme and repeat it needlessly. Songs like "Cuba Nova" and "Gotham" have good ideas, but need more variation. And you guessed how they end - fade out.

3. The entire album is a bit short - 47 minutes. That's a little more than half of what the CD can hold.

I think Marc should have developed some of his ideas a bit more and come up with some memorable endings for the songs. This could be a 5 star CD; Marc's very talented (don't try to play along on the guitar - very hard), but the disc needs a little refining.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!II Top Notch!!! Speechless!!!.......2005-04-26

All the content of the songs are tremendously beautiful and irresistable. I just can't wait for the next album hopefully will be released soon this year(2005). I have been a fan of this artist since his first album. Until now I have not found any other artist can play the guitar as good as he is. This is a highly recommended album for his loyal fan and also to those who just discover this artist. What a talented guitar player!!! Two Big Thumb-up!!!

3 out of 5 stars Mediterraneo shines with perfection and not so perfection..........2004-11-11

Since I heard Antoine's music in his Cd Madrid, I knew that he is very talented spanish guitarist.With his album such as Urban gypsy, Universal language, and Cruising, He became a rising and magnificant artist.His lates CD,Mediterraneo is perfect but also not so perfect.In this Album, Antoine has added nice jazz and rock style music with the spanish guitar.Mediterraneo starts absloutley magnificant with the tracks such as Mediterraneo and Preludio. Antoine plays a beautiful spanish guitar which will take you away. In middle of album has added nice sizzling jazz music with pop background to his spanish guitar music. Antoine is aunique artist and will bring romance to you.The thing I didnot like about Mediterraneo is the latest track at this album.Meditterraneo and early tracks fulfills your wishes and desire of nice music but it disappears its perfection.The tracks at end are not that perfect because guitar's note is accompanied with tedious backround music.But my purpose is not to criticize Antoine.I still believe that he is a magnificant spanish guitarist. Buy Mediterraneo and experience the magic.

5 out of 5 stars Marc Has Done It, Once Again!!!!!.......2004-10-08

Marc Antoine has once again done a beautiful job making this latest CD Mediterraneo. It's just about the only thing that plays in my car. Listening to it over and over again, I find there is always something I failed to hear the first time. All of the selections are wonderful but if I just had to pick, I'd say "Lady", Mediterraneo, Gringo, Funky Picante, Oh, forget it, I can't choose, every cut is MARVELOUS!!!! This music makes you wanna MOVE!!!! Thanks Marc, keep up the good work. A Loyal Fan.
