Brilliant

I remember in 1980 when this album came out and grabbed serious attention. It was soon voted "Best Guitar Album of the Year" (1980) by Guitar Magazine and you can clearly hear why. No cheese here.

Tour de Force

EMUSIC-whatever

Oh wait, wrong album :o) All of this early Al DiMeola stuff is worth your download credits. This guy was shredding it down long before Yngwie and the rest. A fantastic, graceful player and composer.

Talk about ambitious. This two-LP set finds guitarist Al di Meola performing with his quintet of the time (featuring keyboardist Philippe Saisse), with studio musicians, solo, in a reunion with pianist Chick Corea, singing a love song, and welcoming veteran Les Paul for a version of “Spanish Eyes.” Most of the music works quite well and it shows that di Meola (best-known for his speedy rock-oriented solos) is a surprisingly well-rounded and versatile musician. – Scott Yanow
