    Some albums can absolutely be judged by their cover. You just see it and get a certain energy! I used to go into a used record shop and random select something new to take home every week. I consistently found nothing but gems. Now here on RUclips, we've got yet another perfect example.

      i always guess the genre based on album covers when i don't know the artist, and i'm always right.. this makes sense because genres and styles usually have their own aesthetic associated with it.. it's how i knew listening to Mint Jams by Casiopea was gonna be a great idea (and it was) or why i listened to Cat Steps by Daisuke Tanabe...

    Why does 70s era drum recordings sound so damn crisp and clean? It's like this era perfected the mic setup on the kits methinks. Perfect balance of punch, separation, compression, etc. Solid mix.

    I knew that the leopard running loose through the city could only mean good things were in store... This album strikes me as being rather unique in the way it integrates elements from psychedelic and progressive rock. That really gives the album a stranger and more intriguing texture than what I typically expect from funky jazz fusion bands.

Big man you are, id bet your making mommy and daddy proud, especially by refraining from “potty words” 😂get off your high horse and be a decent human being

    This whole record is ridiculous. Not only is the musicianship world class, but the production and engineering is outstanding. Aside from the Horns being a bit too hot for my ears the mix is really good too. 20:47 that’s the sound right there Rhodes & Phaser.. fucking gorgeous! And the Bass! Goddamn that’s some muscle. You can’t get that going direct, that’s the sound of a speaker jumpin out of a cabinet. 22:39 that transition into the next section I had to listen to a couple times... unbelievable! Interesting timing on that beat too how they cut off half a beat on the second measure and start over on the and of 4. And then the solo section that follows, they’re communicating on a level that is far beyond normal comprehension. Some bad dudes right here, easily the best Jazz Fusion band Britain has ever produced.
