They seem a little too cautious here. I liked it better when they were young, rambunctious and rushed everything.

@plangentmusic I must agree with you, this is too tight.

@zscheuch We have the Beiber generation of course! Oh wait...you said GREAT....sorry.

God gives gifts, and let's just leave it at that.

musicians need to develop their '(average) listener's ear' and hear music from a non-musician's perspective. this can be done, it is a facility i acquired in the last ten years, and it will change the way you relate to music. not everybody anazlyses and dissects music the way geek musicians do, so the effect received is often not the effect intended. this particular cut sounds great to my 'listener's ears'. too often fusion devolves into egotism, and only other egoists can relate to it...

This recording ' Hymn Of The 7th Galaxy', and The Mahavishnu Orchestra's 'Inner Mounting Flame', changed my life musically forever. The explosion of 'Jazz/Rock/Fusion' in the early seventies was incredible. It rivaled the beginnings of the BeBop era. I have to ask..."What's next" in greatness in music?

Non ci sono aggettivi appropriati. Sublimi! E' tutto quello che so dire.

Fender Rhodes... feckingjayziz that sounds good!

I used to have to put the records on SLOW to figure out what Lenny White was doing.

Ma perché gruppi di narcisi come i DREAM THEATER non si ascoltano questi Grandi Maestri; che hanno solo da imparare su come si bilancia la Tecnica con l'Espressività Compositiva?!

Stanno suonando "Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy" 35 anni dopo con la disinvoltura di chi sta partecipando a un barbecue tra amici di "vecchia data", e io sono qui che sto sbrodolando come un colapasta!! %-)_...
