Music reviews of Visions of the Emerald Beyond
Music Review: Upwards on a spiral of brilliance
Rating: 4 Stars
4 1/2
Just the fact that this album is overlooked in their brief though blistering discography should clue you in as to how powerful the band is. Scaling new heights of rock, funk, and jazz fusions, the fiery literacy behind Mclaughlin's stunning guitar work, plus Ponty's string-based inclusion make for an invigorating, and diverse set. There are several tremendous occasions throughout; bliss-filled homages to the heavens bubbling with unbelievable progressive synergy- when violently beautiful violin solos begin clashing within profound melodies on "Eternity's Breath Part 2", it still sounds like a new urgency had been set in fusion (and spiritual) greatness. It's put together a little differently then their other discs, but track for track I do not think you can dispute the depth of quality, though perhaps argue to the contrary.
Description of Visions of the Emerald Beyond
Even though it is not as consistently convincing as Mahavishnu's first two albums, this fifth, 1975 outing nonetheless provides plenty of the same listening rewards--urgent, inexorably forceful jazz-rock fusion with an intense interactivity among the players. Jean-Luc Ponty provides the fresh interest. Always most convincing when employed, rather than in charge, here he revels in the open spaces and blissed prompting that McLaughlin's celestial-run formula provides. The album was one of a few later Mahavishnu recordings that announced that the revolutionary band's mission was near completion, and perhaps already played out. McLaughlin's playing soars at some points, but it was time for him to leave the capsule, and settle into a new phase: his extraordinary Shakti collaborations. --Peter MonaghanGeneral CDs
