Album Notes & Community Reviews
Documenting a series of intense, highly improvisational concerts from their debut 1972 Japanese tour, this double album showcases the early, avant-garde incarnation of the legendary fusion ensemble. Driven by Eric Gravatt's complex drumming and Miroslav Vitou拧's aggressive bass, the group completely disintegrates traditional melodies into wildly abstract, electric soundscapes.
