Spectrum. While I generally do not enjoy the drum solos, Cobham's fine ability underlies everything that he plays as he compensates for all of the elements in each piece beautifully. This album presents a unique blend of quite innovative, powerful, and dense jazz-rock. Its captivating and timeless ambiance is consistently present throughout all the tracks. One of the standouts, Stratus, has seen frequent airplay and has gained universal approval, although it doesn't feature a pop-music-orientated tune. It got so much love even from those radio listeners who were never into the jazz-rock/fusion genre! Billy Cobham's solo debut is indeed a unique masterpiece, not due to its undeniable perfection, revolutionary impact, or astonishing qualities, but rather because it consistently delivers an exceptional experience. Every part of the album is engaging, and there are no tracks that one would want to skip. 
The artwork doesn't lag behind the music either: its cover captivates with its abstract forms with vibrant colours on a black background, creating a mysterious yet harmonious visual that perfectly complements the album atmosphere. 
Do you know of any other album ever released by a drummer that is so widely adored yet a progressive masterpiece like this one? I don't!
