Transparent sound. Light and beautiful melodies. Clear, pure and joyful music. All these epithets belong to the new album by Govi named "Guitar Odyssey".

Govi's music is a bright cocktail of guitar rhythms of flamenco, masterly mixed with latin-american flutes and percussion. Very good are the first fiery "Sails Of Joy", lyrical "Turquoise Galleon" containing smooth guitar passages, slow "Lovers Moon" and soft "Beach Fire Dancers". Govi can be named a real virtuoso of guitar, and everything which he performs is very beautiful. His music is really an adventure full of pleasure, flight of spirit in a space pulsing with joy.

In the album released by Real Music, everything is though over in detail, from very aesthetic outlook of the CDs to its master sound-design. And if I add that in the record of "Guitar Odyssey" took part such famous musicians as Karunesh and Anugama, then I think that every New Age fan would love to have this album in his collection. Still this CD is light for comprehension, so it would be interesting for those who are not acquainted with this kind of music. "Guitar Odyssey" is a perfect possibility for a first acquaintance with the New Age music.

If you suddenly feel uncomfortable, if you need to dispel sadness, listen to "Guitar Odyssey"!
