As an acoustic purist, I normally can't stand electronic music (despite the necessity in large groups and concert halls like this) but I do feel Al Di Meola's use of the synth is fairly tasteful, as far as these things go.
totally agree. I saw him in NYC a few years ago and he would NOT turn that damn thing off. I wanted to jump on stage and rip it off his guitar, pure lighter fluid on it and then burn it like Hendrix.
I think the synth thing is because this material he is playing is years old so he needs to give it a new lease of life or variety or whatever you want to call it. Awider audience? or something like that.
sorry but al isnt the best, you should check out Shawn Lane, he brings fusion to another level
