Mostly forgotten Masterpiece
by "dcrigger" North Hollywood, CA USANorth Hollywood, CA USA
Reviewed on February 18th, 2001
For me, one of the greatest albums ever made. Released more than 25 years ago, I wish I could find anything today that pushes the envelope as much as this record does. Technically nearly impossible at the time, the recording captures the perfect marriage of aggresive fusion pyrotechnics and the sweeping, soaring grandeur of the symphony orchestra. I have not seen a single interview in the past five years with George Martin, that he doesn't at some point break the obvious flow of Beatles questions to talk about this album as one of his favorite productions. Simply Breathtaking. Demonstrates the power and beauty that jazz-rock/fusion should've and could've built upon.
