A 1974 collaborative album by Jerry Goodman, violinist for The Flock and a former member of John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra, and virtuoso keyboardist Jan Hammer, whose career has spanned both jazz and rock. What stands out first is the sheer level of musicianship: between them, Goodman and Hammer perform virtually all of the instruments themselves, including violin, drums, guitar, piano, and keyboards. Hammer’s drumming and percussion work in particular is remarkably accomplished. Musically, the album moves from heavily driving progressive rock and jazz-funk to deeply spiritual electronic passages built entirely from synthesizers. A dense and highly distinctive record that captures the uncompromising musical vision of both artists.
