Genre: Jazz fusion
Places I remember: Melbourne Record store
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Rain Dance
Gear costume: Hidden Shadows
Active compensatory factors: Only three tracks on this 'uncompromising avant-funk masterpiece' (Paste Magazine), so Herbie and his sextet get plenty of space to explore and create.

The cover is perfect - some tribal celebration under a moonscape. The music recreates that atmosphere with Miles Davis style meanderings via synthesizers and electronic effects.
It's not easy listening by any stretch but once you get into the zone and let it all wash over you, it's very rewarding.
Where do they all belong? Always on the look out for more Herbie Hancock albums. This one fits nicely in the jazz fusion collection.
