Clap Great to know! It's indeed a fantastic record, specially the title track and 'The Epic'.


Lyle Mays is simply amazing on this song.

I cannot get enough of that piano solo...

We should review it man. The page for it looks a little empty
 
Yeah, we should! That one and the debut(of the Group not Metheny solo).

Since no-one has been saying much about GAZEUSE, let me put in another word for Gary Burton's 1970s solo albums, which feature the great Burton himself on vibes, the great Eberhard Weber on bass, and the great Pat Metheny (while still in his teens) on guitar. Among other players. Of course I'm thinking here about RING and PASSENGERS. Both ECM, but l-i-v-e-l-y! It seems pretty obvious to me that if anyone loves GAZEUSE, THE GRAND WAZOO and BLACK MARKET (as The Quiet One does), they're gonna love these as well.

By the way, oh Quiet One, is the Who your favourite rock band?
 
No, The Who is not my favorite rock band, that's Deep Purple. But The Who were one of the first 70's bands I loved, so indeed they hold a special place in my heart.
 
I assume you asked because of my username. I did take it from The Who song, not a big fan of the song but I can really relate myself with the lyricsTongue

I have to go with Time Control. The musicianship on that album is just fantastic.

Wow, I actually have most of those, and I'm not really a jazz or fusion nut.  So suffice to say you've got good tastes in fusion. Big smile
 
I went with Gazeuse! because it's a simply stunning piece of music, both from the guitar angle and from the mallet percussion angle.  And the songs are good and memorable.  I played the heck out of this album when I discovered it when it first appeared on CD.

Soft Machine Seven is much under appreciated. Especially Side Two (on vinyl), which to me sounds like Kraftwerk playing Miles Davis. The musicians sound as if they are in a trance. Way ahead of it's time!! Am I the only person who hears this?

No, you're not. Why do you think it's one of my favorite jazz rock records?Wink
 
It's indeed sublime. The duo of Ratledge and Jenkins did fantastic stuff.

Sorry if I'm a little touchy about SM Seven. I've read so many reviews about the Softs that totally write off any of their LPs after "Four". ( Same with the Mahavishnus after "Birds of Fire". ) Glad to hear that you're familiar with the subtlety of SM"Seven". At least there's two of us. Perigeo released a couple of Jazz rock fusion LPs in the mid 70s that also seemed to achieve an intimate trance-like subtlety. A few years ago,  my son had a screen saver with some New Age type music in the background. I was amazed to find out it was Jenkins and Ratledge!!!
