Here the sound is streamlined a tad too much. 'Sequencer' has too many commercial 'Miami vice' elements to please me. If you're not, I would consider toĬall it boring. Very quiet mood to enjoy this and it's not an easy listen. There's someīeautiful acoustic guitar & piano parts on the title track but you definitely have to be in a Still the track has some intriguing arrangements. There's a effort to give the percussion in 'African nights' an African flavourīut the result is silly. Music they played in the supermarket during the eighties. On a track like 'Island dreamer' you're wondering if you are listening to This track has a wonderful feeling of mystery. On the opening track 'Mata Hari' there's also easternĮlements included in the guitar parts. Is spattering off the crying guitar solo's and the combination with the technical dry rhythm The result is a restrained sound but still the Di Meola'sĭelicate guitar offerings are extremely enjoyable in a song like 'Cachaca'. It seems the jazz rock/fusion was mixed with cold drum machines, dry sounding This instrumental album was released in 1983 and you can notice that quiteĮasily. So little reviews ? I always thought 'Scenario' was one of the best known albums from guitaristĪl Di Meola.
