These guys are truly both musicians and magicians. John McLaughlin is an out-of-this-world guitarist, drummer Billy Cobham is so intense and powerful that he should keep a fire extinguisher near his kit. This is an essential, classic jazz fusion masterpiece that will take you in a wonderful journey through some highly adventurous landscapes. Sometimes dreamy and clement, but mostly heavy, harsh.. no wait: it's actually a colossal piece of work. My perso favs are the t/t, 'Miles Beyond', 'Sanctuary' and 'Hope'.
It may take more than one listen to fully appreciate Mahavishnu Orchestra, but the experience will ultimately be more than rewarding

Listening to "Birds Of Fire" is such a nice musical adventure!

Another fabulous record by Mahavishnu. They extend their range a bit here, and the instruments around McLaughlin?s guitar get more attention than before. Their blend of Indian classical, fusion and rock continues to soothe, and there is not much to criticise here.

Jazz rock fusion ass bullshit, but it ain't no bullshit. It's imo less impacting than The Inner Mounting Flame but shit they know how to frantically play their instruments in unison in an engaging way.

Open Country Joy is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

Unabashed, thickly layered 70's prog... I honestly can't find a thing to love on here... 2.3/5
