The fire is back. You can hear it in no uncertain terms on the supercharged title cut from Kiss My Axe, Al DiMeola's most intense electric album in ten years. The power and fury of a Les Paul, his signature sound throughout the 70s is very much in evidence on this dynamic electric band offering. The speed, impeccable technique and intensity that typlified DiMeola's best work during fusion's heyday is tempered here with seasoning and soul, two qualities that a musician acquires with age. DiMeola speaks volumes on Kiss My Axe as bursts of speed mark "Phantom", "Global Safari" and the title track.
