First-rate collection.......2003-02-02

Personally, I didn't care for the first Govi effort I experienced--"Andalusian Nights" but I decided to give him another try. The tagline for this collection--"Govi at his exuberant best"--drew me in, and I have no regrets. This is a fantastic compilation of Govi's upbeat works, a smart, sexy collection of lively songs and toe-tapping rhythms, perfectly suited for exercise or other energetic activities...or just for the sheer joy of a wonderful listening experience. (Warning: This CD may cause spontaneous smiles and dancing!) I'm no stranger to the flamenco sound--I thoroughly enjoy the works of Ottmar Liebert and Jesse Cook--but this the most entertaining album of its kind that I've run across. I've since listened to Govi's "Guitar Odyssey" (some of which was featured on this work), and it is also a worthy effort. See also: Armik, Shahin and Sepehr, and the aforementioned Liebert and Cook. Enjoy!

Good, but. . ........2002-10-20

Every song on this CD is contained on one of Govi's other CDs.

Great, Upbeat selection of Govi tunes.......2000-12-02

As new to the genre of 'New Flaminco', I was drawn to the upbeat, uptempo sound I got in the 'Guitar Greats' selections CD which had Govi's 'Treasure Bay'. I specifically liked this upbeat selection, and when I saw a CD with his upbeat/exuberant songs, I had to buy. Long time Govi fans may not appreciate this album as much as new comers like myself, seeing as how it focuses on a limited aspect of this artist's talent. For me, however, I was attracked to the very song style this CD stated it had; the upbeat ones. If this is what you are looking for, then this album delivers. If you are Govi fan looking for new material or a full selection of this artists' obvious talent, then you may not be fully satisfied.

Quite amazing.......2000-09-03

First time buyer of Govi. Heard the CD, loved it. Everywhere I play it, car, bbques, cd player, people ask me "who is that?". Then they want to buy it! Definitely one of the best CD's in my collection. If you have this CD and a puppy, you'll always have a smile on your face! :)

Takes You on Exotic Mental Journeys- Smooth and Relaxing.......2000-04-12

This is my second Govi CD purchase- the first being "Andulusian Nights", which I purchased pretty much based on hearing just the first track from that one, "Persuasion" (also included on this collection). I have listened to Ottmar Liebert, Strunz & Farah, and Oscar Lopez (nouveau flamenco players) and while I enjoy them very much, Govi is my favorite. This is music that is so easy to listen to and not get tired of hearing after repeated playings. Anytime I want to unwind from a stressful day at work, or just chill out on the weekend, Govi's music does the trick like nothing else in my collection. This particular CD is comprised of previously released songs- the tagline on the CD is "Govi at his exuberant best"- and features the upbeat, festive-sounding Spanish acoustic guitar stylings. My one criticism of this collection is that it's too short. It only contains 10 tracks and would have been a more valuable collection with at least 15 tracks included. At any rate, I still recommend this collection without hesitation if you've never heard Govi's music. As the title of my review states, this fine music will take you on exotic mental journeys from which you'd prefer not to return.
