Where's the Bonus Track ?!

"This is not a gripe or complaint review. I purchased this same title c.d. by Matt Bianco through another on-line cd store which also shows a bonus track listed. When my copy arrived there was no bonus track to be heard or found.Be cautious. Enough said...This is another Matt Bianco recording using another Latin style of music as their inspirational artistic backdrop or main influence. The style is Flamenco from Spain and the combination of contemporary jazz-hip-pop blends in with great finesse. This time the feel of the music is a bit moody and more serious with the use of gypsy background vocals. Several tracks use gypsy-like flamenco vocal incantations and handclaps which provide the worldly atmosphere. The music is not as fast paced as on their previous projects. Still MB gets the job done which transcends the listener to Sevilla or the southern tip of Spain. None of the songs are sung in Spanish by lead singer Mark Reilly (maybe a few words). The Spanish lyrics are sung by Spanish guest vocalists. While not as highly recommended as their other titles, it is still recommended for those of us who cannot afford to take a trip to Spain on a whim..."
