   Ok Proger, I just pulled out my Chick Corea LPs.. 

"Romantic Warrier" was towards the end of the Di
Meola/White/Clark/Corea collaborations.. It is a very polished
album.  It's a great frickin record but in my opinion, it does not
"sing the body electric"... as much as this next one:

"Where have I known you before".. that is a powerful, youthful ,
electric record.. and I personally like the compositions more than
ROMANTIC WARRIER>

"No Mystery" is my 2nd favorite, and is also quite good, but not as good as WHIKYB  but IMO better than Romantic Warrier.

as for Dicks suggestion, it's a good one, but a whole different
ballgame. I think I prefer the guitarist Bill Connors on " Hymn of the
7th Galaxy" to Al DiMeola..Bill Connors bent the guitar strings like
they were spagetti.  Al DiMeola is fast and furious... but not a
string bender like BC is... a song on this one (HOTSG) called "Captain
Senior Mouse" is just awesome... I used to do a cover of that song a
long time ago. Bill Connors was untrained according to his
website..  I find him to be a bit like an early Allan
Holdsworth...  He was simply amazing. Now that I think about it..
this one is tied with WHIKYB.. just an amazing record.. including the
title track.

How are you set for other fusion... Jean Luc Ponty ?   pick
up "Imaginary Voyage"...  Weather Report?  my favorite of
theirs is "Heavy Weather"...  Gong --- I like "Expresso". 
Brand X -- "Product".   I could go on forever.. Passport was
great as well... Bruford's fusion band was cool..

Anyway... have fun.
