Very nice and interesting album by John McLaughlin.

An excellent start for entering the magnificant McLaughlin world.

In The Court OF The Crimson King King Crimson

In The Court Of The Crimson King

1969
The first ray of the crimson sunrise. My first and favourite of King Crimson's genius creations.

Liquid Tension 1 Liquid Tension
Experiment - 1

1994
One of my best PROG ROCK albums. What intended to be Mike Portnoy's experimental solo project at Magna Carta label, became a real masterpiece. With music wizards John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, magnificant Toni Levin and Potrnoy himself on drums, this album, made in one week only from scratch, is a totally improvized intensly virtuosic instrumental hard rock record. HIGH CLASS !

Emergency Tony Williams Lifetime
Emergency !

1969
Tony Williams is the king of musical dynamics. This record is an explosion, the birth of fusion as it was understood in the 70's. It's also an exposion of young John McLaughlin, in pre-Mahavishnu era.

Williams's group Lifetime, which looked on paper like an organ jazz-funk trio, produced in 1969 this headlong hybrid from jazz complexity and rock immediacy. Williams, fresh from edging Miles Davis towards his jazz-rock-soul period, concocts a driving, high-volume fusion that has more conviction and flare than anyone else's would until the advent of the great Mahavishnu Orchestra a couple of years later. That band was led by Williams's collaborator here, John McLaughlin, as blistering and savvy a guitarist as any jazz-rock saw. Larry Young's organ is a skirmishing juggernaut, clearing and blasting into space above, behind, beneath, and between the drummer's crashing, jittering rhythms. A cautionary note: To be sure, Williams's singing on Emergency! is brave, at best, but it is blessedly limited.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway GENESIS

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

1974
The most spoken and contraverse album by Genesis, recorded in flourishing and inspiring 1974. A fundamental and epic work, a story of a street kid named Rael who, thanks in part to the realities of big city life, undergoes weird and mystical transformations.
Containing extended instrumental sections showcasing the extraordinary talents of Tony Banks, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins, as well as the expressive vocals and often disturbing lyrics of Peter Gabriel, this is the album that located Genesis truly on the map. One of my favorites since then and until now.

Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd

Wish You Were Here

1974
