Listening to Govi play his guitar, it's hard not to imagine yourself somewhere warm and exotic. He has a natural knack for creating music that has a strong sense of mood and place; it's very imagery rich with a note of romantic abandon. TOUCH OF LIGHT takes a 'back to basics' approach for the guitarist, who had been moving in more of an ethnic direction with his last couple of albums. Here, he focuses on compositions that are rich and full of the simple joy of Govi's flamenco guitar melodies. It's one of his most appealing albums in years, reminding listeners of why they embraced his music in the first place - the sultry beauty and languid bliss of Govi playing that guitar against a breezy samba backdrop.
