MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA The Inner Mounting Flame 1972 UK CBS 1st PRESS MINT
THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA with JOHN McLAUGHLINThe Inner Mounting Flame
1972 UK CBS (S 64717) FIRST PRESSING OF THEIR DEBUT LP
This is the album that made John McLaughlin a semi-household name, a furious, high-energy, yet rigorously conceived meeting of virtuosos that, for all intents and purposes, defined the fusion of jazz and rock a year after Miles Davis' Bitches Brew breakthrough.
Though much was made of the influence of jazz improvisation in the Mahavishnu band, it is the rock element that predominates, stemming directly from the electronic innovations of Jimi Hendrix.
The improvisations, particularly McLaughlin's post-Hendrix machine-gun assaults on double-necked electric guitar and Jerry Goodman's flights on electric violin, owe more to progressive rock than to jazz, based as they often are on ostinatos on one chord.
These still sound genuinely thrilling today as McLaughlin and Goodman battle Jan Hammer's keyboards, Rick Laird's bass, and especially Billy Cobham's hard-charging drums, whose jazz-trained technique pushed the envelope for all rock drummers.
Aimed with absolute precision at young rock fans, this record was wildly popular in its day, and it may have been the cause of more blown-out home amplifiers than any other record this side of Deep Purple
