I first noticed Al Di Meola in the early 80's when Music Video was at its height. When I first heard "Cruzin" on a local tv station in Atlanta in 82, I was blown away! I went out and got 2 vinyls of Al Di Meola, "Electric Rendezvous" and 'Tour De Force" (Still have them) and was just in a trance just listening to every track of his music. "Fusion" at its Best". If you want to learn Music Theory, Di Meola is one of a few to learn from. Grab all his collection of albums and sit back and... "Leave the driving to Him"!
Electric Rendezvous ...O' YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a pivotal album in that it merged his best upbeat, and dare I say rockin' gooves, with his sensual and lyrical side.Even in some of the more pensive moments,he still brings the verve and vigor.I love the title song and, "Cruisin'" is bad to the bone!! You don't have to have an appreciation of guitar(technical side) to enjoy this magnum opus.To me, this is his most palatable music for the masses.Exquisite and beautiful...worth having in your collection(list it under "passion,grace, and AWESOME")!!
Al at his brightest...

I was 15 when I discovered this album at the public library in 1981. I was completely blown away, and to this day Al is one of my favorites. Incredible guitar work interlaced with passionate melodies. Al in recent years has become kind of predictable, but this record in my mind was an amazing studio effort and worth every cent. Don't miss passion grace & fire, blinding acoustic work by the trio, and my other fav is ritmo de la noche... watch those riffs....!!!! SMOKE comes out of that guitar! :)
