i just received a copy of the "Catapilla" album - Affinity meets Colosseum, very enjoyable album, looking forward to hearing the follow up "Changes".
(i know thery're listed in the Art Rock section but this one is surely borderline..?)

I highly recommend early Embryo (not that the latter Embryo are bad, but they are no longer jazz rock; their music is more ethno-rock) and Aera (not to be confused with Area).

I heard you Tuvzihar
 Do you know if they have a web site, even though there's none listed in PA? And while we're at it: a slighty heavier, more metal like side of JR/F is filled in by Karcius. Try their album Sphere some time.... I bought both their albums after hearing the track Liquid Meat on Dick Heath's radio show.  Edited by Angelo - August 03 2007 at 10:06 |

Nope. They don't have a website, unfortunately. |

Holy Canolli!!!! Now thats a list! I'm actually trying to acquire Tony Williams life time, the album Emergency, has already been recomended. Dark shade, which album from Miles Davies do you recommend? I only have best offs and so, i think I'm missing something...

^ Miles has a vast selection to choose from. Personally I'd go with Live-Evil or A Tribute To Jack Johnson since those are a bit easier to get into. Bitches Brew may be considered a fusion classic, and probably the first (although Hot Rats by Zappa may be the first) full out fusion album, but it's hard for the uninitiated to get into. it's VERY trippy and out there, with lots of different instrumentation. but thats my opinion.
Emergency is great, also get the Lifetime album which features Holdsworth. And if you like that album, you'll like Bruford's solo stuff.
i forgot to mention Phish since they have a hell of a lot of fusion moments.

Well if you like Soft Machine, try Nucleus. They're sound is different, but they're still excellent. Nucleus' sound is more akin to later Soft Machine with Holdsworth (also a member of Nucleus at one time) and John Etheridge.
You may also like Quiet Sun's style of jazz rock/fusion, it's quite a lot different, yet excellent. I have Miles Davis' In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew (both with John McLaughlin) and they're excellent. I do prefer my Elton Dean-esque jazz though. |

Apart from the big classics, there's a new band that called my attention some time ago, GARAJ MAHAL. They sound very good! Definitely to check out!
www.garajmahal.net Also, another band, not really jazzy  , more metallish, is ELECTROCUTION 250, who play insane music, the combination of metal, shred and cartoon music. If you're looking for ORIGINAL music, give a listen. So far they've released one album, which is very good, and on their PA page they've an mp3:www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1877  |

Nice there's a thread about this genre now. I'm rather new to it, i enjoy Steve Hillage, Al di Meola and S.B.B but i find Mahavishnu's Innner mountain flame (and also Soft machine's Third) a bit inaccessible.Can you recommend me some albums based on these data. Thx in advance.

At least - problem is, if there is no continuous correspondence a thread drops off the bottom. However, the search engine is always recommended to avoid dupication/triplication.

I think I`ve brought this band up somewhere. Steve Smith from Journey has an on and off project called Vital Information. Their first album simply titled Vital Information ( 1983 ) is killer lots of sax & guitar freakouts. I think Wounded Bird has released it on CD along with the second one Orion ( 1984 ) which is in the same vein. If you like Cobham`s solo stuff you`ll definitely love this. They have just released a new album called Vitalization this year but I haven`t got my paws on it yet.
