Comments for Di Meola, Al, Soaring through a Dream

Following closely on the heels of Cielo e Terra, Soaring through a Dream adds band members on bass, keyboards and drums in addition to the percussion of Airo Moreira. Listenfor some Brazilian vocals as well. This is a really colorful album, and represents the full emergence of Al Di Meola in his new "sound". He plays with the Synclavier often here, accurately imitating the sounds of a trumpet, xylophone, etc. with the guitar. Pay attention to how the sound of these instruments can be stretched beyond reality with the bendingof a guitar string!
