The most underrated Fusion album of all time. Mingo Lewis is known as a very talented percussionist who first came to prominence with Santana & then went to play with Al Di Meola. And in 1976, he made this solo album & it is just one of the most brutal and lethal Jazz Rockers to ever release. It's one of the all time greats and nobody pays attention to it.There is some non stop heavy incredible playing on here with Mingo fusing the Jazz Rock with this Latin infused percussion throughout the whole album. What's also really surprising is the musician's on here are very unknown which makes this album really in the hidden gem list & each one of these guys on here are just absolute monster players. All of these compositions are brilliant but there's one that might be my favourite on here which is Heartsong & it has this treacherous Synthesiser solo that's just mind blowing and it sounds like completely from another planet. The Wizard is a song that Lewis actually wrote which was also on Al Di Meola's debut album Land Of The Midnight Sun in the same year which is one of my favourite Fusion tracks, which really showcases the fantastic composing from Mingo Lewis. The whole album doesn't disappoint, it's so fast & fiery with so much energy packed in these eight songs. This has continued to be one of my favourite albums of all time & would highly recommend this to Jazz Fusion fans who haven't listened to this Masterpiece.
