awesome album and sounds real good too, gotta have it
I'm truly puzzled. My copy looks fantastic, just a few tiny paper marks, but it has this light rustling sound all over. It's only noticeable in the quiet parts, but it's definitely there! Has anyone else experienced this with the Italy version? Could it be due to bad mastering?...or perhaps an issue at the pressing plant or with some of the stampers?... or maybe it's just the vinyl quality? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Once again, one of those albums I spotted countless times during my nineties record shop haunts but never picked up. Now, just 3€ at a flea market, and I'm amazed at how crisp and fresh it still sounds. Packed with unexpected arrangements in various combinations. If you spot it at your local market, grab it!
Funny enough, I first got into John back in the '70s as a teenager. Always loved the first side, particularly Carlos and John's chemistry on that second song. Sounds fantastic on my setup. Give it a listen, they're easy on the wallet and you can find 'em everywhere.
INCREDIBLE! I'm astonished that I've owned this album for years and only just got around to listening to it NOW! The opening two tracks have a distinct Focus-like vibe in their composition ("Focus" being the Dutch progressive-rock band that started as the house band for a Dutch production of "Hair: the Musical," evolving from that early '70s sound through guitar rock, prog rock, Bach influences, and ultimately landing in jazz-fusion after original guitarist Jan Akkerman left), and execute its fusion sound in a way that Focus aimed for but never quite reached in their first decade. The following tracks shift styles from what seems like Coltrane-inspired, Return to Forever vibes, a touch of Mahavishnu (with the duo of John and drummer Billy Cobham), and sadly, perhaps the least engaging of the bunch, "Are You the One? Are You the One?" which just comes off as a jam with ex-Cream/West, Bruce & Laing's Jack Bruce and drummer Tony Williams. Overall, this one's a must-keep, if only for the phenomenal first two tracks that surpass Focus in jazz-fusion composition and performance (and I'm a huge Focus fan, so that's high praise).
