"Wizard", "Land Of the Midnight Sun" and especially "Golden Dawn Suite" (outstanding performance by Al Di Meola, Jaco Pastorious and Alphonse Mouzon) are Fusion classics.
The album dated very well and is an important landmark masterpiece of the wonderful 70s Fusion area - the album also features many other Fusion Gods at their prime time: Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorious, Alphonse Mouzon, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Anthony Jackson, Mingo Lewis and Steve Gadd.
A must have for fusion fans and guitarists!

Land of the Midnight Sun (86), Timeless Flight (??
Simple production and limited range of sounds give way to the originality and intensity of the compositions.
It's odd that the band's creative peak should be followed by its artistic nadir, but here it is. Desperately hoping for a commercial score, the band tries everything from a Roxy Music ripoff ("Until The Night") to a noxious disco song with unbelievably vapid lyrics.

 Al Di Meola - Hopper Management
His breath-taking technique and virtuosic guitar work enabled him to succesfully launch his solo-career in 1976 after "Return to Forever" disbanded — starting out with the landmark album "Land of the Midnight Sun".
Al Di Meola's career started in 1974 when Chick Corea called him to be the guitarist for his band "Return to Forever"— the premier fusion band of the 70ies.
Twenty-One recordings — among them the award-winning "Friday Night In San Francisco" (w/ John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia) which alone sold more than 2 million copies — countless awards and six million sold albums later, Al Di Meola can be counted among the most prominent virtuosos in the contemporary instrumental jazz field.

I've got the CD "In the Land of the Midnight Sun," by Al DiMeola, and the opening track, "The Wizard," is incredible.
