3 stars This albums marks a return to a great shape for Meola. It contains brilliant playing on acoustic and electric guitars and what has not been always the case, an attention to detail and decent compositions. Rhythmically, the album is on top of the game; there plenty of speed changes, irregular beats and great percussion. Music is often dynamic, compositions varied and there are also quieter moments led by keyboards or percussion. Unlike some other Meola albums, there isn't only a heart and passion here but also a soul. Inspiration draws from contemporary fusion, world music (Latin and Middle East) and modern jazz. The obvious magnet for many will be the title track, a decent dynamic fusion number with a distinct motive/melody. If the album were 10 minutes shorter, I would rate it by an additional half-star.
