SPECTRUM

Very impressive instrumentation here and Billy Cobham is obviously a musician who contributed a lot to the development of the use of instrument. Cobham played with Mahavishnu Orchestra and this work is in that vain of highly technical fusion (with funk and rock influences) with little melody or musicality when it comes to writing completed pieces of music. All instrumentalist play great solo's and the rhythms are great, but I find this type of record quite dispensable. If you do love this you can also look for works of Jean Luc Ponty, Mahavishnu, Al Di Meola and Return to Forever. I myself prefer to listen to international prog-fusion like Leb I Sol, Finch, Tassavalan Presidenti (Lambertland) and Finnforest.
