I really heartily disliked Romantic Warrior (have not listened to it in many years), and it was one of my earliest forays into the JRF we have at this site back in 2004/2005 due to the acclaim it received. I hugely prefer Chick Corea's Return to Forever album, and I much preferred Light as a Feather, and also Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy (not listened to Hymn much, but...)
Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

Very late comment, but I just like this expression very much and find it so incisive when talking about much of the '80s mainstream Jazz-Rock/Fusion. Tongue

I remember buying 'Romantic Warrior' in 1976 purely because of the fantastic cover artwork.

I was very impressed with the music when I got it home.

Great record! Smile

I also remember very well Romantic Warrior at the time of its release, as I was very much RtF aficionado due to my loving of Where Have You... The Warrior was though a bit of dissapointment for me already at that time, but I surely feel some nostalgic attachment to it today. I'm also happy about my pristine vinyl copy of the original UK release of this album. Tongue

What I also think is, ROMANTIC Warrior should sound more organic than synthetic, and more heavy - looking at the artwork. Wink
