WHERE HAVE I KNOWN YOU BEFORE

An ultimate fusion masterpiece, and even if we consider it a jazz-rock album, I belive it is generally more attractive for a prog rock fan than for a jazz consumer. I rate it five stars for great compositions (like Vulcan Worlds or Song To The Pharaoh Kings), for a tasteful, heavy and melodic sound of the whole band, and, among any other factors, for excellent playing by each of the musicians, especially Chick Corea - imagine any prog keabordist playing like him... Even Emerson wouldn't handle it... or even if he could - he wouldn't be so inventive in building all those Latin-influenced solos - highly melodic, sharp, and thick on sound... Also it's one of my favourite synthesiser albums...Unique.
