Press Reviews A lively instrumental album coming right up to the brim onyour coffee cup, filled with stay awake medicine of thebrightest kind. Yes, even the lower key tracks like "Rain"come down in a Positive way. As a matter of fact, theshower picks up after the 5 minute mark, and sprinkles youlike you're a little girl in your first thunderstorm. There'ssomething so great and refreshing here.I'm pleased to have this cd, which shall remain in mypersonal collection. There's a good combo backing John upas well. Often they have a pronounced Latin limp that isspry and fanciful. "Nachos" begins with acoustic guitars ineach ear and transports you emotionally to that part of theworld that's south of Epcot. A wonderful experience, full ofbongos, claves, jam blocks, and Flamenco guitars that stopfor no lights.If you have a hankering for great instrumental guitar stuff,please for John Gilliat. You WON'T be disappointed, andyou can only help this guy, and your psyche, out.Ben Ohm
