Title: I really dont get it....
Review: I first became interested in fusion the day my dad threw the mahavishnu record Visions of Emerald Beyond on his turntable. The sheer power and emotion of that record assaulted me completely. I then listened to RTF's Light as a Feather and the mellow chords and melodies entranced me. I then listened to Where Have I Known You Before by RTF and I was floored by the drive, the bass playing, the guitar playing, the drumming, and chick corea's synths and piano work. That album is a masterpiece. Later I went out and bought Romantic Warrior... just after 10 minutes of trying to cope with the cheesy synths and boring grooves, I had to turn it off. This is a landmark of the commercialization of fusion and nothing more. Ive been trying to understand why there was such a sudden turn from the previous album's energy and enthusiasm, and why this album is so popular.
