Genre: Jazz fusion
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Foreplay
Gear costume: Ruminations (sax and guitar duels are super cool!)
Active compensatory factors: The 'must play loud' tag doesn't always apply but in this case you need the volume to pick out the genius interplay between bass, guitar, drums, electric piano and soprano sax.

Try Foreplay and you'll see what I mean - each member appears to be playing a different tune at times but when it's all fused together and played loud it makes total sense.
That song takes on different shapes from melodic to seemingly free form intensity. The bass and drum combo is tight and the sax floats the melody in and away throughout its 8 minutes.
And that's just the opening song! The band are off and running and Larry just has to be Larry.
The intensity builds from the first two tracks with side one closing with the brainstorming Scotland 1. Side two continues the instrumental storming of the gates!
Where do they all belong? Two in a row for the jazz fusion section as I forgot that I hadn't yet posted on this one before doing the Jan Hammer albums. This album comes before the Eleventh House albums that I've posted already.
