Blast from the past

What can I say? These guys pretty much defined jazz/rock fusion. Before Stanley no one played the electric bass with so much authority. Al Di meola was second only to John Mclaughlin. Of course Chick is Chick in any genre. What really amazes me about the recording is the drumming of Lenny White. I forgot what a monster he was and still is. This music brings back fond memories of a time when music was being stretched to it's limits and beyond. Not everyones cup of tea, then or now. But these guys started a revolution that forced other players to hone their chops and make it possible to have the folks we have today! I'm not as amazed at the technical wizardry now as I was back then because it is common to hear players today who have taken fusion to the next level. Still for nostalgia's sake and to see where it started you must buy this CD.

Remastered Collection Sounds Great!

This two disc set collects the best of four albums. "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy" (Polydor 5536) was released in 1973. "Where Have I Known You Before" (Polydor 6509) reached #32 on the Billboard Album Chart in 1974. "No Mystery" (Polydor 6512) reached #39 in 1975, winning a Grammy. "Romantic Warrior" (Columbia 34076) reached #35 in 1976, and the entire album is included in this collection.

These tracks were remastered by Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke. "Vulcan Worlds" does not have the familiar echo ending, but other than that, the only noticeable change is that the sound quality is much better. It is far easier to hear all of the instruments, especially on the Polydor tracks.

True RTF fans will still want to keep Polydor's earlier anthology "Return to the 7th Galaxy" for rarities like the live version of "The Shadow of Lo", but this new anthology is very easy to spend time with.

Fresh After 35 Years

Other reviewers have said it all. After listening to this music for 35 years, it is a new and fresh listen with the incredible remastering. Perhaps the best remastering I've ever heard. The clarity and punch of each instrument is a wonder to behold. For $15 it is an amazing bargain.
