Mahavishnu Orchestra: Apocalypse
by Walter Kolosky
Wow! This 1974 recording had a great pedigree. First, you had Beatles producer George Martin. Then Michael Tilson Thomas, the young and gifted classical conductor, waving his magic wand in front of the London Symphony Orchestra. Jazz violin superstar Jean Luc Ponty stepped up as part of a newly expanded Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the teenage bass ...

Mahavishnu Orchestra: Inner Mounting Flame/ Birds of Fire
by Alan Brooks
John McLaughlin did more sophisticated offerings after leaving Mahavishnu Orchestra, and these are not my favorite recordings of his; yet The INNER MOUNTING FLAME and BIRDS OF FIRE work nicely as companion albums- I think of them as bookend fusion albums- sister recordings. Each album begins with its 'best' number ("Meeting Of The Spirits" on TIMF; ...
Mahavishnu Orchestra: Birds Of Fire
by Alan Brooks
This review is a brief track-by-track survey of Mahavishnu Orchestra's BIRDS OF FIRE ('73). The title track, which commences the album, opens with cymbal, electric twelve string guitar, and synthesizer; then the bass and violin enter, playing the same ostinato.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra: Birds Of Fire

First off, I shall quote my earliest, “first impressions”, upon receiving this remastered re-release, as a special pre-release demo copy,“WOW!, WOW! and WOW! Superb redo of this classic! This sounds as good as I had hoped it would. Grab it as soon as it is ready for release. Levels are way up, great separation ...
Mahavishnu Orchestra: Birds Of Fire
by Todd S. Jenkins
For years it's been said around punk circles that the Velvet Underground's first album only sold a thousand copies, but everyone who bought the album went out and formed a band. The Mahavishnu Orchestra's second album, Birds Of Fire, was equally instrumental in building the popularity of fusion, but along the way it went gold and ...
Mahavishnu Orchestra: The Lost Trident Sessions
by David Adler
Two words stick in my mind after listening to this album, and those words are Billy Cobham. I’ve always felt that Cobham’s drums and John McLaughlin’s guitar were the Mahavishnu Orchestra’s most exciting and essential elements. Here Cobham leaves everyone, including McLaughlin, in the dust. If for no other reason, this long-lost record deserved to be ...
