I'm really starting to appreciate these post Santana albums coming out of mid 70s San Francisco. Even Journey started out as a very interesting hard rock meets fusion band before succumbing to the great FM god. This isn't my first go round with the album, but with my preference for everything "jazz funk" of late, this one hit home. There's some excellent hard rock and prog here, mixed in with the fusion and funk. Strange album really, and one can see why it never really took off. There's no consistency whatsoever. I just happen to like all the styles accounted for.
Ownership: CD: 2004 Lemon (UK). Thrift shop find (2021). Excellent reissue with full liner notes. This is one of those oddities where the CD is far more expensive than the original LP.
12/2/21 (CD 2.15); 3/23/23 (new entry)
