Hello all.

Fabulous sounds.

To absent friends. And Brother Rick.

Firing on all cylinders.

I think this album just has the edge over Inner Mounting but I might be wrong

Good evening Chris and welcome

[LMG]

This album on CD was my intro to the Mahavishnu O. It is still my favourite.

Real King Crimson vibe on this first track.

Firing on all cylinders!

Very close.



Over the last six months or so the Trident Sessions has been rising more and more in my estimation, and is my current favourite. Not necessarily the best, just current favourite.

Yes and yes.

A sheer delight!

The whole album is just amazing - as is the first actually.

Although Jean-Luc Ponty was Johnny's first choice I think those albums containing JL are not as strong.

We can only speculate on what sort of difference JL would have made to the first two.

Celestial Terrestrial..

Wonderful~!

Miles's influence on John M cannot be underestimated.

Interesting that Miles was keen to play with Hendrix, and would have done had the latter not died young.

Mclaughlin's (truly) excellent pre-Mahavishnu solo album Devotion featured Jimi's collaborators Billy Rich and Buddy Miles.

Go Jan

Miles influence is immense.


Devotion is a cracker. Knocked me sideways when I first heard it.

Yep.












Sections sound like a precursor to Shakti.

[Spock!]

Thousand Island Park is too short. Great riff.

Devotion is indeed a brilliant album.

I recall pointing Yomp in the direction of that album (if my memory serves me correctly ...... )

[C]

We should put Devotion on the list.

[and Quatermass]

All those in favour?
