Let me see.... greatness. Actually, it's pure genius, that's what this is. In fact this album excites me because it is so darn good. It's like headbanging jazz... kind of. First off, what is great about this album is that it sounds like it was released yesterday. Whoever produced this did a fantastic job of making it sound fresh, and capable of being released anytime after 1970. Siriously when i found out this was made in the 70's i was blown away; i thought it was from the 90's by an underground band. It is very, very original jazz fusion. McClaughlin plays like no other guitarist in a fantastic array of masterful guitar playing. Truth is all the musicians are at the top of their game, and never miss a beat, despite how intricately complex the melodies are. Renditions of classic miles Davis sounds like all fresh remakes that even Miles Davis would be shocked at. Not an album to bring home to mom, but if you appreciate experimentational jazz that doesn't sound like jazz you'll like this. Drive fast and TURN IT UP!!!
