Metaphors of romance and passion spring to mind whenever Armik picks up his guitar. His music is the stuff of rosy sunsets viewed from some beachfront villa in the Spanish Riviera or of sharing a glass of Merlot with a love interest. In other words, the title ROMANTIC DREAMS fits this album to a tee. Armik's melodies once again straddle the boundary between sensuality and spiciness, making this a great selection for the listener who likes their nouveau flamenco with a bit of vivacity. The rhythms are strong, the choice of accompanying instruments is intuitive (the sounds of accordion and mandolin really add to the album's European/Mediterranean flavor) and the guitarist's technique is top notch. Another winner from Armik!
