Visions Of The Emerald
Beyond (Mahavishnu Orchestra Mark II, 1974)
A Contribution By Gregman
My friend Gregman responded to my review
of this album with his initial thoughts:
There's one thing that crossed
my mind now when I think about the first song there ("Eternity's Breath").
Have you listened to King Crimson's old hit 21st Century
Schitzoid Man?. I belive this was the main idea that McLaughlin built
the first theme "Eternity's Breath Part 1" on.
I also know that Crimson and MO
II played on the same bill before this song was rec. To me the structure
is of course very different but somehow the heavy feel is quite similar
on these both songs. just a thought of mine :-)
Thank you, Gregman, on behalf of all John
McLaughlin's fans!
