I've gone on about Di Meola in these pages already. His debut lays out the blueprint for his next two works, arguably his great moment in the midnight sun. As I hinted on Elegant Gypsy, I think Di Meola probably gets too much credit for his guitar virtuosity and too little for his songwriting ability. Like all of Di Meola's albums up through 1982, I owned them on LP while still in high school. For whatever reason, I don't feel compelled to replace these commodity CDs - it just goes with the music and the era. I discuss some of this phenomena on the Elegant Gypsy post as well.
Ownership: CD: Columbia.
1983; 2014; 11/2/19; 2/15/23 (CD 4.4); 4/17/23 (new entry)
