Free Music Notes for Consequence of Chaos
Free Music Review: "Al's return to electric is his best album since 1983"
Hit: 5 Stars
After exploring Synclavier sounds, world music, tango and even solo acoustic work, Al DiMeola had recharged his batteries and was ready to explore the power and passion of the instrument that made him famous; the solid body electric guitar.
In addition to his regular working band-Mario Parmisano (keyboards) Gumbi Ortiz (percussion) Victor Miranda (basses) & Ernie Adams (drums)-Al invited some famous friends to celebrate the occasion; Barry Miles (keyboards) Steve Gadd (drums) John Patitucci (bass) & his original mentor Chick Corea (piano).
Pieces like "San Marco", "Tao", "Azzucar" & "Hypnose" present Al laying it all out in a band setting, while "Turquoise" and "Cry for You" (a duet with Chick) showcase Al's acoustic side.
Al also adds a few short "link tracks" to act as set-ups or soundscapes for larger pieces.
The two biggest highlights however, are "Red Moon" a burning groove which co-features Chick and is a lot like the Al DiMeola of 'once-upon-a-time'.
Not only did this collaboration with Chick produce a stunning piece of music, but laid the groundwork for Return To Forever's triumphant 2008 reunion tour.
"Tempest" is a 9-minute epic that is reminiscent of Al's 1970's work. It absolutely burns.
Through it all Al's Paul Reed Smith solid body sings, wails & screams with touches of high speed runs like the days of yore.
Al's still got it. Make no mistake. 5 stars.
Consequence of Chaos Poster
Legendary guitar hero Al Di Meola's first release in four years is a searing, high caliber affair, brimming with colorful and complex arrangements. Di Meola's fifth Telarc album offers a contemporary set of fifteen original, genre-blurring compositions. The roster of special guests includes pianist Chick Corea, drummer Steve Gadd, keyboardist Barry Miles, bassists John Patitucci and Victor Miranda, and percussionist Kornel Horvath.In the '70s, guitarist Al Di Meola was the teenage phenom who burst on the scene with pianist Chick Corea and Return to Forever. Three decades later, his Memphisto-like prowess is still in effect, as evidenced by this impressive disc. With a number of world-class musicians--including drummer Steve Gadd, bassist John Patitucci, and keyboardist Barry Miles--Di Meola conjures up a whirling dervish of sounds that easily groove in fusion, world music, and techno contexts. The two versions of "San Marco" are cast in New World improvisations and Old World airs. "Tao," "Hypnose," "Tempest," "Black Pearls," and the "Africana Suite" swing with East Asian, Arabic, and West African harmonic and rhythmic motifs. Corea joins his former bandmate on the Santana-like "Red Moon" and the light but funky "Odyssey." Di Meola, who also plays percussion and keyboards, has grown with the times, with his killer power chords intact. --Eugene Holley Jr.
