Over the last few years, Armik has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in terms of his passionate and highly stylized flamenco guitar playing. Known for lush melodies and a light, romantic touch on the strings, his music captures the ambiance over the Mediterranean in all its exotic beauty. That quality comes through stronger than ever on DESIRES, which compiles some of Armik's more amorous tunes into one album. Across the board, the rhythms are mellow and relaxed - more of a simmer than the full boil of his more energetic cuts. Atmosphere is an important ingredient here as well - most of the songs have a "champagne on the Riviera" quality that makes the music ideal for romantic excursions. As an added bonus, the album features two brand new cuts from Armik.
1. Desires 5:07
2. Cafe Romantico 5:15
3. Fantasia 4:39
4. Mar de Suenos 4:57
5. New Love 4:44
6. Your Touch 5:14
7. Lover's Moon 5:03
8. Amor de Guitarra 5:01
9. Romantic Dreams 4:53
10. Slow Dancing 4:43
11. Santa Barbara 5:15
12. Midnight Bolero 4:52
13. Passion 4:59
14. Rumba Nuevo 4:14
