Mahavishnu Orchestra: Birds Of Fire - LP 180g Vinyl

Of the three 'incarnations' by the spiritually inspired Mahavishnu Orchestra, the first is the most full-bodied. The enlightened John McLaughlin and his musicians were immortalized through their début album "The Inner Mounting Flame", which was included in the list of the 100 Best Jazz Albums; a short time later they recorded their highly concentrated studio compilation "Birds Of Fire". Long before today’s saleably labelled World Music, the quintet set the standards for a meaningful amalgamation of dynamic rock with complex Indian rhythms and occidental conventions. Already in the title piece, the musicians combine a sharpened Hendrix style with expansive melodies, and with smacking grooves and fine riffs draw all that is grand in jazz ("Miles Beyond") into the musical centre. With almost chamber-music-like density, "Thousand Island Park" blossoms out in soft colours, whilst as a contrast unremittingly flowing cascades in "Hope" search desperately for their destination. It is thrilling how finely weighed patterns ("One Word") escalate to techno-like violin playing and how the listener is invited to take part in an inner procession in the following "Sanctuary". After such soaring heights, we are brought back to earth with a familiar funky sound in a popular, pastoral vein ("Open Country Joy") before taking off abruptly once again: in the final piece, "Resolution" with its slowly rising carpets of sound, all that is sublime in New Music conquers over world cultures. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid. Von den drei Inkarnationen des spirituell angetriebenen Mahavishnu Orchestras ist die erste die körperreichste. So verewigten die Musiker um den erleuchteten John McLaughlin ihr Debüt "The Inner Mounting Flame" unter den 100 besten Jazz-Alben und legten kurz darauf mit der konzentrierten Studio-Kollektion "Birds Of Fire" noch einmal nach. Lange vor der heutigen marktgängig etikettierten Weltmusik setzte das Quintett Maßstäbe für sinnstiftendes Verschmelzen dynamischen Rocks mit komplexen indischen Rhythmen und abendländischen Konventionen. Bereits im Titelstück amalgamieren die Akteure geschärften Hendrix-Style mit ausgreifendem Melos und nehmen mit schmatzenden Grooves und feinen Riffs den Granden des Jazz ("Miles Beyond") in ihre musikalische Mitte. Geradezu kammermusikalisch verdichtet erblüht in ruhigen Farben der "Thousand Island Park", wohingegen die unablässig anlaufenden Kaskaden in "Hope" verzweifelt ihr Ziel suchen. Aufregend, wie sich fein gewichtete Patterns ("One Word") zu technoidem Violinspiel steigern und den Hörer im nachfolgenden "Sanctuary" zur inneren Prozession auffordern. Nach diesen Höhenflügen erdet vertrauter funky Sound im Volkston ("Open Country Joy"), bevor es wieder steil aufwärts geht: im Schlusstitel "Resolution" obsiegt über langsam aufsteigende Klangflächen das Erhabene dieser neuen Musik der Weltkulturen. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com. Alle Lizenzen und GEMA-Beiträge wurden abgeführt.
