Guitarist magazine pretty much summed it up when they described Acoustic Mania as "two players intent on redefining all known laws concerning what is possible with two acoustic guitars".

Guitar virtuosos Antonio Forcione and Neil Stacey toured Europe successfully for five years before deciding to take their partnership into the studio to record what became their only outing as a duo.
Talking Hands demonstrates why these two players work together so successfully, their individual styles of adventure, humour and improvisation combining and contrasting to produce music that is lucid, flamboyant and exciting.
Antonio was no stranger to Naim when he invited Naim to make a recording of the duo hence introducing Neil to Naim Label. Neil returned to Naim to make his debut solo album five years later and also collaborated with Dominic Miller, in a very different but equally compelling duo scenario.
