Looking Thru is the 4th album from Klaus Doldinger and Passport. It's also the only one I hadn't heard to date of the first 6. And as 'Eternal Spiral' opens, I thought I may have missed out on the best one! Right from the start, Moog's, mellotrons, and energetic rhythms propel this most auspicious opening. And then... ...it's Passport. For the most part you get 7 pleasant jazz fusion sax driven instrumentals. They're a professional band, and the quality of musicianship and production are high. My original assessment of the album (from the Japanese CD) was good, but inessential. A relisten last night confirms that it probably isn't essential but I still had a +1 listen. Most likely this stems from my recent interest in jazz funk, and I found the melodies more pleasing this go round.
Ownership: LP: 1974 Atco. Single sleeve. Picked this up at the Rocky Mountain Record Show for a couple of bucks, which is retail for this title lol. My copy is the Monarch press for the one person who might care, but Discogs didn't have a photo and I'm too lazy to add it.
