I still find the sound quality and music on Romantic Warrier to be fabulous all these years later. There is something magical about the drum sound on this album, and the overall sonic presentation as well.
What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album?
Chick Corea has been a prolific and creative jazz artist for over thirty years. I throughly enjoyed his newest CD, The Ultimate Adventure, which he described as being a "tone poem." It's reminiscent of some of his earlier work (e.g., The Leprechaun) as it is based on literature - in the case of The Ultimate Adventure, a science fiction story by L. Ron Hubbard. The Leprechaun was my introduction to Corea's work and remains a preferred listen. However, my favorite Corea CD is Beneath the Mask, a more traditional jazz CD by the Electric Band. I particularly like Patitucci's bass playing on the first cut - Beneath the Mask played very loudly.
