Review

Entertainment Weekly (2/4/00, pp.68-9) - "...Wields his guitar like a switchblade and sings in a gruff croon....a cross between Marty Robbins and Ruben Blades..." - Rating: B
Q (7/99, p.121) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...The tunes encompass guaracha, son, bolero and even a tango....In a market that's rapidly becoming saturated and faddish, Ochoa holds his Stetson high."
CMJ (7/5/99, p.5) - "...the emotional impact of Ochoa's reedy and hoarse voice instantly transcends any language barriers. Moreover, Ochoa's technical command of his guitar is matched only by his creative vibrancy as he makes the notes jump from his intrument..."
Dirty Linen (10-11/99, p.92) - "...Fresh and guileless, SUBLIME ILUSION stands up to repeat listenings."

SUBLIME ILUSION was nominated for the 2000 Billboard Latin Music Award for Album Of The Year by a new artist.

If it is true Cuban roots music that the people seek, they need look no further than Eliades Ochoa. This star of the BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB delivers 15 cuts worth of simmering, piquant son on his second solo opus. His robust voice leads the spare, acoustic band through an array of hearty passion-tales, with a full compliment of rousing backup singers to answer him in each call-and-response. His 12-string guitar work is tasty as well, offering responsive chords and evocative, bucolic solos that echo far and wide.

"Carino Falso" is a feverish tale of feigned love, with a clave that transcends idiom and should get any listener moving. "Pintate Los Labios Maria" offers one of the richer arrangements, with a haunting picture of beauty faded and renewed set in bright trumpet melodies and a rousing chorus. The bittersweet title cut follows a similar thread; Ochoa's singing is full of strategic vibratos and swells that betray youthful yearning.
