OK, I think this will be interesting if sufficient people in the forum has listened to both.
Romantic Warrior for me sounds almost like a complete show-off, amazing musicians but the compositions are rather boring. Elegant Gypsy is quite different though, inspired by Santana's latin percussion I suppose, it has Jan Hammer dueling with Meola, always a blast.

I guess I prefer Elegant Gypsy, though I'm not a big fan of either one anymore.

At last a comparison that make some sense. DiMeola's early solos seemed far more adventurous than the jazz rock meets Yes-influenced symphonic rock of RTF's RW . Besides, as mentioned, Jan Hammer was really peaking here as a (fusion) keyboard monster and certain a major contributor to many of DiMeola's early records. However, the suggestion of a Santana-influence is open to debate: Chick Corea's father lead a latin American dance band so the Latin style was deeply enbedded in the RTF ethos, wasn't DiMeola from NYC rather than the westcoast so a whole variety of other Latin influences (eg. Salsa) , and Jan Hammer was working with David Earle Johnson the Latin percussion specialist during this period. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.
