"A big one obviously. I was convinced that I had reviewed this sensational CD quite a while back. For some reason I must have forgotten to do it at the time.

Better late than never. Every country has a BEST player ( guitar / bass etc..... ) and this guy might be the best in spain. Amazing compositions that don't borrow from anyone and are full of brilliant ideas and melodies. Timing changes, phrases and tone that is second to none from this complete unknown. I am not sure if I can make a valid comparison to another player despite my 1100 or so cd's. This is totaly original and captivating music. This is pure guitar genius from an exceptional player. If you are into the guitar in any form, you should buy this now as it is as good as anything else on offer in instrumental guitar music.

If pressed to compare DE CASTROS playing, I'd say he's a hybrid between JOHNNY A / RITCHIE KOZEN / ANDY TIMMONS and about a half a dozen other amazing players."
