This was an interesting phase for Mr. Di Meola. It was the 1980s after all, not an easy time for any musician who'd been around as long as he, and he found himself adapting to that brave new musical world the best way he could.

Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection
I like Di Meola's music and trying to see and hear him live at any possibility (to be honest, during last some years he is very regular in our side of Europe).And I like his different music - perfect early electric jazz-fusion albums, and later world -fusion with "World Sinfonia".

Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection
ADM's third solo album, Casino, is the last I'll consider as excellent, although it is clear his future albums will not lack good moments. Indeed, Casino even won some kind of music awards in some mag,.

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music
Al DiMeola is what so many shred metal guitarists wish they could be. He can play a ridiculous number of notes per second yet he plays with a musicality seldom rivalled by the genre he helped to inspire.

Excellent addition to any rock music collection
4.5 stars really!!!!
Having recently shocked and awed the JR/F world with two amazing albums (Hymn To The seventh Galaxy and Romantic Warrior), Return To Forever was riding high on the wave it had created, riding on Corea and DiMeola's incredibly fast playing, displaying a monstrous but cold virtuosity that would eventually have a lot of fans grinding their teeth.

In the style of soul and blues that we know him well, Garou will own, among others, the successes of The Temptations (My Girl, Papa Was a Rolling Stone), The Supremes (You Can not Hurry Love), Marvin Gaye (Is not No Mountain High Enough) and The Four Tops (Reach Out (I'll Be There)). The American record label Motown, which helped to bring black and white communities together and imposed its musical genre at the time, is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2019.

Between oneiric narratives and allegories, this album produced with Stéphane Pelegri (compositions-orchestrations), has been imagined like an invitation to a sharing, to encounters and to universality. Each text (in english or in Italian) has been thought as a snapshot, an atmosphere, relating a journey between two banks, between Corto Maltese’s dreams, Alexander the Great’s impulses, corsican legends, or the colors of India of today.

Who Hits 50 is the definitive 2CD collection of the band’s greatest tracks from their very first recordings as The High Numbers right up to the present day with the brand new track Be Lucky – their first new material in eight years.

Considered one of the most iconic and influential double albums in rock history, Prince's '1999' was released at a major turning point in the artist's career. After years of being relegated to the R&B charts, he experienced his first true crossover moment with the mega-hits 'Little Red Corvette,' '1999,' and 'Delirious,' shattering barriers with his revolutionary blend of rock, funk, R&B and new wave pop, and making history by being one of the first black artists to have their videos in heavy rotation on MTV.

"Koschki" is the fourth and undoubtedly the most complex album by Triozean. One that proves to be demanding at first hearing, but at the same time very accessible. But above all, from the first note to the last bar, it does with brilliance and lightness what the band's music has always been good at: it creates moods and emotions while listening, creating images and scenes that turn each song into a little acoustic one Make cosmos. Genre boundaries skipped Triozean light-footed. In addition, Olga Nowikova's singing creates a sensitive touch of Russian poetry and makes "Koschki" something very special.

Harmonica and jazz? It would be hard to come up with more than a few names that have brilliantly combined these concepts together. The Belgian Toots Thielemans, a living legend on the chromatic harmonica would be leading the way, together with Stevie Wonder, with whom the instrument has gained access into the world of soul and pop. Then all of a sudden, Konstantin Reinfeld appears; very young and a genuine talent on the diatonic harmonica, which he plays fully chromatically. He sets standards here which are otherwise only met by the US virtuoso Howard Levy. Technically adept with interpretative expressiveness and full of emotional maturity, Reinfeld presents such honest and rousing original compositions that you'd at first think the date of birth (late 1995) in the artist's biography was a misprint.

Mark Isham’s ability to create unforgettable melodies combined with his willingness to experiment with innovative musical palettes have earned him accolades including: Grammy and Emmy awards, and Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.

"How can we miss you when you won't go away?" It's a question that sounds as if it could be the title of an Aerosmith power ballad co-written by Diane Warren, but it's a sentiment that also applies to the Boston quintet themselves. 2012's Music from Another Dimension! may be their first album in eight years and their first record of original material in over a decade! but the band has never been far from the headlines during those missing years, and not just because Steven Tyler screeched his way into America's homes as Simon Cowell's replacement on American Idol.
