Free Music Review: The Second Mahavishnu's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
After John McLaughlin explored the essence of Jazz-Rock in the first Mahavishnu--powered by Cobham's drums, Hammer syths and Jerry Goodman fiery violin--he turned further inward into Sri Chimoi's teachings, and traded the fierce flame of the first albums for, if you will, a more subtle longing for his God.
So Goodman was replaced by Jean-Luc Ponty and Narada Michael Walden assumed drums' responsibilities with a passion for thundering along, which along with exquisite string arrangements, arranged and conducted by Michael Gibbs, makes this album equally powerful if, perhaps, choosing ton walk a quieter path. Of course the constant strength is John's playing which continues to blow demons away, s to speak, with crisp, neck-breaking velocity but grows in sheer lyrical power.
Great tracks abound but singling any if them out will deny their natural integrity. Whether intended or not, this is a suite of songs to honor McLaughlin's devotion to become one with the great spirits. Beautiful and even funky, in the right places, this is a great album, in its own way an equal to Inner Mountain Flame.
