Cosmic Strut - Mahavishnu Orchestra

Someone asked for this nicely, so I decided to do so. This is from the second line-up of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, not as great as the first line-up, but hey, still good.

This is the album that changed my life in 1975.

It amazes me how people are that concerned about the notes being played, I think its great.

Hey 'theory nerds', keep it going!

Without people who are passionate about music and delight in the subtley, complexity and magic of different music we'd just end up with a world full of "ug - drummer him hitting drum" type neanderthals.

There may be "better" editions of Mahavishnu, but this is still my favorite album. The vinyl still sounds great turned up loud - love NMWalden's drumming.

@sinfoneura You're right, intro is in 9 (9/8 with snare on beats 2 + 4:: 1+2+3+4++ repeated). The "medial" section is the guitar solo section which DOES have a measure of 7/4 but it's followed by a measure of 13/8 (In other words, the largest grouping structure that is repeated is a "measure" of 27/8). No clue what you mean by balcanic structure or mnemotecnia for that matter.

@drummingforever Intro:9/4..medial progresion7/4 or (3,2,2 from mnemotecnia) Solo or free section in a balcanic structure..

[sinfoneura]

The intro and principal figure is 9/4..
