Fusion meets Electronics - great !!!

That Al Di Meola was a gifted musician and is, is completely out of question. 30 years ago, now he amazed his regular visitors with the release of scenario.
To date, in the jazz-rock fusion and go, he had repeatedly set new standards. From high-speed guitar with much Latin influences to the legendary "Friday Night in San Francisco" with the unforgettable Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin - this music was the standard, were measured on the other.
In 1981, he then has a piece taken out his music with "Electric Rendezvous" far Jazz and was catchy. Endpoint was the 1983 album Scenario. Totally unfamiliar to Al di Meola has here the keyboards prescribed (along with Jan Hammer as congenial partner). Considers Following this development appears early eighties logical (the radio was playing electropop up and down) - Hardcore fans call probably starting with shudder ...
Scenario plays here and there with the new electronic options (Fairlight, Roland Guitar Synthesizer, Linn Drum), but remains highly musically beyond the mainstream. Here are some gems (eg Mata Hari, African Night, Cachaca) as they could well emerge only at this time.
The fact that Al di Meola to Scenario again other directions dedicated (being so great albums like Kiss my ax and the tango reminiscence Astor Piazzolla emerged), makes this album all the more unique. I love this album that is best heard at a time - for me that was the plate of 1983!
Also sound technically the album is a revelation. Since this album Al Di Meola was a pioneer for good sound. This was ever taken to the extreme on the following albums - a feast for ears HiFi freaks!
5 star, what else?
