JOHN MCLAUGHLIN with The One Truth Band - Electric Dreams

This is the best Mclaughlin recording you will find of his work on electric guitar. For this and Electric Guitarist, JM used a scalloped fingerboard and at times phrased like Santana or a blues player relative to what he is known for: insane machine gun speed. Every tune is great ;no duds here. Electric Guitarist is my second favorite but it has 3 duds( ok they are not exactly duds-one is solo, one is duo and one is trio. The 4 great tunes are all ensemble pieces and are classic !) so not as good as this one.

MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA - Visions of the Emerald Beyond

Even though it is not as consistently convincing as Mahavishnu's first two albums, this fifth, 1975 outing nonetheless provides plenty of the same listening rewards--urgent, inexorably forceful jazz-rock fusion with an intense interactivity among the players. Jean-Luc Ponty provides the fresh interest. Always most convincing when employed, rather than in charge, here he revels in the open spaces and blissed prompting that McLaughlin's celestial-run formula provides. The album was one of a few later Mahavishnu recordings that announced that the revolutionary band's mission was near completion, and perhaps already played out. McLaughlin's playing soars at some points, but it was time for him to leave the capsule, and settle into a new phase: his extraordinary Shakti collaborations.
