4 stars This was the first album by the most well known lineup of this, one of the greatest jazz/rock fusion bands of all time, and while it is a great album, they still hadn't quite found that classic sound. the performances are spectacular, but, for the most part, the compositions had not yet ventured into that fusion/symphonic prog blend that made "Romantic Warrior" such a masterpiece.

The fusion is great, but the standout track has to be beyond The Seventh Galaxy, an expansion, and improvement on the title track from the previous album.

My only real complaint about this album is the underuse of Al DiMeola. He seems almost non- existant at times.

Evolver | 4/5 |
