Al Di Meola - Flesh on Flesh

This SACD contains one of my favourite 5.1 mixes ever, and I hadn't played it in many years! Now this is truly discrete - all 5 channels are given equal importance. It's often a quad-style, aggressive mix, that also manages to showcase a superb sense of space in the more subdued, calmer and static tracks such as "Meninas". It also happens to be my favourite post-70's album by him (this is from 2002). The way I see it, it's the perfect combination between the fiery fusion of his early releases and his more mature influences. I also find it a very sexy sounding album (maybe it's the latin stuff), so the album cover fits well.

I've noticed there's no poll for this amazing release, unfortunately. Mixed by Michael Bishop. I'd give it a resounding 10!
