The reviews here show that people are passionate about this recording. Most feel this is not only JLP's finest but also one of fusion's best. I agree. What really sets this apart and gives it such lasting power are the musicians. Yes, the compostins are great but this would not have been the classic it is if JLP had gathered other players. After buying this you should check out the follow-up works by these briliiant artists...Drummer Steve Smith's Vital InformationGuitarist Allan Holdsworth (anything - he is truly a living legend)Allan Zavod - hard to find but worth it, the band New York MaryDaryl Stuermer's work with early Phil Collins, Daryl's the weakest on this date but he's still great.Ralphe Armstrong with Mahavishnu Orch.This recording introduced me to Holdsworth. I thought he was playing wrong but I could not stop listening to his solos. Then I "got it" and wrong became oh so right! Thank you JLP for this revelation!
