one of his best.......2006-01-14

I own another 4 Armik albums and this one. Rain Dancer is one of his older work, but its my fav out of his catalog. With the very recent records I felt he drop back a bit on creativity, but I mean the guy record so many albums.

With Rain Dancer I felt the record is more soothing and relaxing than the usual lively and active, quick playing of his newer record. I always prefer slower music since it retains the emotion and time for the listener to absorb everything. Sometimes too much technicality and speed make you lose that soul (*cough* last four songs of Friday Night in Sanfrancisco *cough*). Although that's not meaning to say Armik is playing slow in this album, he has very quick fingers. Armik guitar playing style seem like it has a language of its own and its speaking to you.

Every songs in the record is beautiful, but I must say my highlight is the two last songs, which are probably some of the most beautiful instrument recordings I ever heard. Yes, rival to "Marooned" wrote by Pink Floyd which they won some award for. It worth it to buy the album just to hear these two songs.

One Of The Best.......2005-08-05

Armik is definitely one of the best guitarists in his genre. Every song on this album is enjoyable, and pleasing to hear. There is nothing abrasive about his smooth flowing style. Enjoy it.

relaxing.......2002-06-07

I first heard his music while I was placed on hold on the telephone and had to ask the operator to put me back on hold just so I can finish listening to rest of his music.I love listening to various music, but my passion is listening to anything with a guitar.I can't tell you enough how Armiks music will put passion back into your life.I can listen to this cd among his other ones forever.You will not be disappointed.

Sheer Intense Musical Pleasure ..........2001-08-21

This is the 6th album from Armik that I've just purchased today. (In chronolgical order, I've purchased "Rosas del Amor", "Gypsy Flame", "Rubia" & "Malaga"). His debut album is my latest addition to my prized Armik collection.

"Rain Dancer" is an absolutely brilliant piece of acoustic/flamenco/jazz/latin masterpiece. So good, I've only sampled 'for annette' and i parted my money. With 5 other albums from Armik already played and greatly appreciated, there's no doubt in my mind that "Rain Dancer" will prove 'bad-buy'. Right this momemet, Armik is providing me with such absorbing and involving music (via my PC), i give all my blessings for "a-cut-above" rating for "Rain Dancer. Simply magnificent !! (May i also add, that the recording (sonic) quality on all Armik albums are 'audiophile'-type. That good, if I say so myself.

What are you hestitating for? Buy "Rain Dancer" NOW (buy all entire 6 albums, if you can). No prize for guessing - i'll get 'Isla Del Sol" in a matter of days (Seriously, I want time to enjoy my latest purchase)

Mr. Armik Dashchi ... the highest honours goes to you, from the bottom of my heart. You're a CHAMPION ! Ole!!

p.s. Mr. Dashchi - any chance of doing a concert here in Kuala Lumpur?

Rain Dancer is magnificent.......2001-07-26

This CD is awesome. I especially liked the 1st, 3rd, and 7th tracks. Armik's New Flamenco music exceeds all expectations; it is absolutely great!
