Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars When guitars attack.......2007-01-28

Al found his stride on this recording, his Spanish roots shine, his guitar playing is astounding. As a guitar player myself, I was very inspired by the whole record.

5 out of 5 stars Yes indeedy..........2007-01-17

I truly admire fine guitar work; Hendrix,SRV,Santana,etc. "Mediterranean Sundance" displays some of the finest guitar playing that I have ever heard. Al gets an able assist on this tune from his long time cohort Paco De Lucia. This is what two string masters practicing their craft sounds like.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST.......2007-01-05

This album is a MUST if you are a Al Di Meola fan.

5 out of 5 stars Obviously a classic.......2006-10-30

THis CD is a classic, and Al Dimeola is one of the greats. Considered by most who know great music to be his essential CD. MTV-rocks is either incredibly brilliant for his sarcasm, or incredibly stupid, because, well,read his reviews (also essential). I'd hate to think that this view of good taste is where the music biz is going, jeez, so I prefer to think of him as the "weird al" of online reviewers :).

5 out of 5 stars Remaster, anyone?.......2006-10-06

This album is 100% essential fusion, and certainly the Al DiMeola album that you HAVE to own, though of course you should really own more than one his great albums. So tell me, Sony, why haven't you remastered this classic? Casino and Splendido Hotel were remastered years ago and sound great, so why do we have to suffer with this shrill, tinny-sounding version of one of the greatest albums of all time???? Just wonderin'.
