Great stuff, B! One of my all-time favourite records! Surman's entry on track 1 is the most blistering opening to a solo I think I can remember! And McL's playing on tracks 1, 4 & 5 is hotter than all the later fusion stuff combined. All five guys sounded like they were in grand form on this day.

I second glmir's rave of this and Extrapolation. The best of McLaughlin,'s output and great sets for Surman. Thanks for sharing.

Hello! Unfortunately, I have to agree with Horace ... there is some kind of digital distortion on tracks 2 and 3. Could we trouble you to repost clean files? Not if you have to rip from the vinyl again, of course. I think I probably need to just break down and figure out where I can buy this one. Thanks for the great stuff (I'm an Extrapolation fan, hadn't heard this one.

sound distorsions, and also several jumps on 3rd track

Looking for the CD

There's a clean 320 kbps here (no clicks and a good quality rip). You just need the yandex task bar (which you can disable in firefox after you use it).
