Title: a rare disappointment from this great musician
Review: I've been an avid fan since the early 70's when Mahavishnu Orchestra and then Shakti concerts blew my mind, but find this album very disappointing. Of course there's some virtuosic playing here, but mostly on the part of bass players and drummers, while Eric Johnson gets in the best guitar solo. But the compositions are uniformly unmemorable. Uninteresting charts, blaring sax, a few fast solos that go nowhere - it sounds like out-takes from a Mike Stern session, only Stern does this kind of fusion far better. Listening to this after the superb new "Saudades" CD featuring John Scofield covering some of McLaughlin's back pages makes me wonder what happened here.
