Romantic Warrior is the proggiest, but for something more dangerous and longer lasting (IMHO) Hymn Of The 7th Galaxy

The best I can suggest is the samples offered by Amazon.UK:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000046X0/qid=1124 212362/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_11_3/202-7694684-7859008

 

or from the very first album:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000262QW/qid=1124 212362/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_11_2/202-7694684-7859008

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.
