AMG Review of Narada Guitar: 15 Years of Collected Works

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Narada Guitar: 15 Years of Collected Works is a fine double-disc set that features contributions from almost all of the label's finest guitarists, including David Arkenstone, Eric Tingstad, Peter Maunu, Matthew Montfort, Jesse Cook, William Elwood, Friedemann, Nando Lauria, Oscar Lopez, Randy Roos, Andrew White, and John Doan. All of the music on the collection has been subject to 20-bit remastering, and the sound simply sparkles. That might make it of interest to longtime fans of Narada and its artists, but this is primarily useful as a generous introduction to the label's roster for novices.
