A classic by these jazz fusion pionniers where there is no filler track and plenty of jamming sessions.
Meeting of The Spirits is magnificent. It is the best track of the album in my opinion.

A fantastic album, which only wavers around A Lotus On Irish Streams. You Know, You Know. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| The Dance Of Maya. I may choose different when thinking of a single track, but every time I listen to this album, my climax comes when The Dance Of Maya begins :D |

Since our friend above apparently forgot to vote for it, I will agree with him and give the first to Dance of Maya.  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

The grand opener. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

 Screw it. My vote goes to the mighty opener. Dark, powerful, concise, and in a very logical form.

I have never understood the praise for this band. Never. To these ears it feels too forced and technical for the sake of being technical. I don't know, I'd much prefer any of Miles' n Herbie's stuff to this. That being said, I think the opener is ok, which is where my vote went. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| Nothing beats that moment where "Dawn" breaks from darkness into day, so to speak. Every time that riff comes in, I'm floored. Truly one of the best moments in rock music. |

"Dance of Maya" comes first to mind. Real dirty guitar on that one. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

 Amazing drumming chopsmanship? They have it. Repetitive guitar with delicious tones? Got it!

It's because we never heard a jazz band sounding like that. Inner Mounting Flame prouved that we didn't have to sound like Glenn Miller to be a jazz band. They opened the gates for many jazz bands with their virtuosic approach, their Indian Scales and their raw sound. ------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

| I love this album, but i cannot vote because i like all the tracks equally. And the Live in Paris '72 DVD features most tracks and is totally awesome! |

Well that is only partly true, because where did they learn it from? The project I mentioned in my initial post - which was Miles' Bitches Brew sessions. One should look at that as genesis, the hand that lead into the musical fingers we know as Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Mwandishi and so forth. Strictly speaking, it was McLoughlin who was the pupil under Miles' wings. He then proceeded to take it further, yes no doubt, but influentially he came from somewhere else. Either way, all of this still boils down to taste, and together with Cobham these two guys rank among the most clinical players in fusion to me. Sorry guys, just an opinion. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

^ Sorry that you feel that way about them.  On another note: ... I'm not sure whether or not I should be surprised that "Noonward Race" and "Vital Transformation" didn't get any votes. Jazzy hardcore rock-n'-roll sped-u-u-up! ... for the frugging win.

You Know, You Know - where they relax, a bit - it's pleasing indeed. Meeting is a close second. I think Jimi Hendrix might get a credit too, big influence on Miles and his disciples.  ------------- We are men of action.

I agree with you on this one Leslie  . I remember watching a documentary on Hendrix and when Miles Davis was asked, what was his favorite track he answered, MACHINE GUN......and then said "I wish I wrote that one..." |

^  Nice. ... although it's hard for me to imagine him working on a rocker like "Machine Gun".

He meant just writing those two "riffs" that song has, without all the Jimi guitar babbling on top. I would really like to hear him interpret that to jazz. And may I say it's my favorite track too...Oh sorry wrong thread...Ahhhhhh..........Yeah, Dawn for me, thank you. |

I wouldn't call MO a jazz band. They were a rock band that was inspired by the ideas Miles Davis laid out in his fusion albums. |

Thanks!
Yeah, I was a fairly big fan, huh? I feel the same - for both of em, wish I'd wrote more than a few of their respective pieces hahaha ------------- We are men of action. Lies do not become us. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - JazzMusicArchives. |

| "Meeting of The Spirits", within the first minute of listening to this song all my questions about fusion were cleared up and I was able to go back and listen to Miles' "Bitches Brew" with a new found understanding, appreciation and joy. |
