Five musicians at the top of their game playing incredibly technical instrumental jazz/rock. Leader and guitar virtuoso John McLaughlin had previously played with Miles Davis on three of his albums, including the landmark Bitches Brew album. The musicianship present here is seriously unreal. This album was a huge influence on The Mars Volta, but unlike The Mars Volta the Mahavishnu Orchestra is talented. Drummer Bill Cobham even won the prestigious drum competition "The Great Beat-Off".
