Chris Spheeris is a passionate and talented multi-instrumentalist. I have purchased most of Chris's Cds, and I loved it. In this album, Eros, Chris has created an unforgettable and beautiful atmosphere which it will lift your spirit. Chris plays a spanish guitar with some greek music style. He also added some eastern europe music to create beautiful mood for us. The melodies of his guitar is so beautiful and amazing that you want to listen again and again. In Eros, his music is creative and vivid. Sometimes, I cried when I hear the track number 3 in this cd. Because it is so beautiful, and this song reminds me of the sad memories which I gained through my life. Chris plays a beautiful piano which is accompanied by spanish guitar. His songs in this Cd is magical and unforgettable. Eros is about Chris's memories of his youth period. Eros is perfect Cd for two person who love each other as well. Chris has opened new heart in me, and I believe that it will do the same thing for you. His songs takes you to the land where kindness lives forever. Chris has touched many hearts with his music. His music brings joy and sadness, and it inspire you with its magical atmosphere. Buy this Cd, and you will love it. Chris has afew other cd other than Eros, and they are perfect albums as well…..Forever….Viva Chris….

Listening to Chris Spheeris' gently rhythmic but ultimately sleepy flamenco guitar based Eros, you might think you've stumbled upon outtakes from Jesse Cook or today's current master of easygoing pop flamenco, Ottmar Liebert. But those two usually have the keen sense to vary the tempo just enough to avoid each tune from bleeding into the next they'd never create a whole album of lullabies. A noted new age multi-instrumentalist who plays everything here himself, Spheeris' intention seems to be not to excite much passion, just to go with the flow and create some charming, acoustic guitar based bedroom music. An insert photo of him playing a secondary instrument, accordian, as a couple chats at an outdoor café bears this out. Taken individually, tunes like "The Arrow" and "Mediterraneo" are graceful and gorgeously textured, with subtle piano harmonies and light percussion accents behind crisply played melodies. And he uses the real accordian quite effectively on the trance-inducing "Juliette." It's just that overall, it comes across much like the atmosphere at a French café - lovely enough to put you in the mood, but ultimately too easy to forget when morning comes.
