Title: Upwards on a spiral of brilliance
Product review: 4 1/2Just the fact that this album is overlooked in their brief though blistering discography should clue you in as to how powerful the band is. Scaling new heights of rock, funk, and jazz fusions, the fiery literacy behind Mclaughlin's stunning guitar work, plus Ponty's string-based inclusion make for an invigorating, and diverse set. There are several tremendous occasions throughout; bliss-filled homages to the heavens bubbling with unbelievable progressive synergy- when violently beautiful violin solos begin clashing within profound melodies on "Eternity's Breath Part 2", it still sounds like a new urgency had been set in fusion (and spiritual) greatness. It's put together a little differently then their other discs, but track for track I do not think you can dispute the depth of quality, though perhaps argue to the contrary.
