3 stars Most popular Larry Coryell album, really not a bad one ... but not for my taste.

Larry plays plenty of fast, technical and liquid guitar, and in best moments it sounds as excellent fusion from mid 70-s. But - whole music is bombastic (not very often case for progressive jazz fusion from mid 70-s), and Randy Brecker's trumpet adds many of brass orchestration I really don't like there.

By my head I understand, that Larry demonstrates there possibly one of his best fusion guitars playing, but the whole music just doesn't touch my heart. It too often looks as bombastic demonstration of musicians abilities and real great atmosphere you can so often feel in many early 70-s fusion releases, is absent there.

Again, it's more question of taste I believe. If you can enjoy fast and technical guitar-based jazz fusion with some bombastic brass all around, possibly you will like this album more than me. And -Alphonse Mouzon's drumming there is really great!
