Obsession features some of the finest flamenco-style pickers, including the enormously popular New Age artist Ottmar Liebert. While Liebert s nuevo flamenco has been called the equivalent of flamenco-lite by critics and the genre s purists, in his drum- and keyboard-supplemented rounded chord progressions there is an easy, accessible charm that appeals to a more mainstream audience. Cast alongside the work of the fiery Jesse Cook, the old-world beauty of Oscar Lopez, and others, Liebert and company offer up a recording of sensual and emotive grace, to be enjoyed as accompaniment to a romantic interlude, a reflective solo bath soak, or as inspiration while stirring paella. The standout is Obsession s opening number, Cook s Cancion Triste, which sets the scene with its textured, sweeping cinematic beauty and splendidly woebegone cello line. --Paige La Grone
