Billy Cobham's Spectrum

How many of you music afficianado's have heard this? It came out in 1973 and I could still listen to it all day, every day. If you're a guitar buff, just listen to the riffs that Tommy Bolin lays down...incredible. Jan Hammer on synthesizer cooks. And Cobham is simply the best drummer I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Check out Red Baron...it's my favorite cut.

The weirdest thing ... one of the only CD's that I love every song on it and if it were possible to wear one out I would have, is:

I actually liked Lemon Parade a lot when it came out, but I sort of overplayed it and got sick of it... so I never did listen to Sugar.

:cry :cry

I am sorry SW, I did not mean it...just do not play Tonic when we make love to each other, ok?

Sugar is better, IMO. :)

I prefer silence, anyway. ;)

What's your deal? The title of the thread isn't "Tlong's favorite album/cd of all time". If you wanted people to comment solely on your personal choice, perhaps you shouldn't have made the thread title so misleading.

You're an asshole!


Hey guess what? I played Sahalee golf club just outside of Seattle on Saturday. What a tremendous golf course! Remember when the PGA Championship was held there?

i don't play, but i'm always game for some good guitar

[tlongII]

Then you need to check out Bolin's solos on Red Baron and Stratus. FYI, this album is an instrumental. I actually prefer this to albums with vocals. I'm actually somewhat of a different cat when it comes to musical tastes, but I'll be interested to see what you think.

What did you shoot? Didn't Bill Gates have a membership there?

I shot 98, but that course is TOUGH! I wouldn't be surprised if Gates is a member, that place has clearly got a lot of money! It's the most scenic parkland type of course that I've ever played. Just beautiful. My buddy shot 76 so you might do all right there.

[thispego]

that is so crazy
i was listening to 102.3 today and radioactive came on and i was like "damn, hav'nt heard this in a while", then listened to it the rest of the way home, and i have had it in my head ever since. fuckin crazy.

Here's a review on Spectrum...

Smoking-cannon solo debut from the drummer of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The compositions are fast 'n' fierce fusion, more directly steeped in soul and the blues than the MO's. This means the harmonic vocabulary and general song structures are simpler, not as flamboyant or classical-sounding as Cobham's previous band. But Spectrum's pieces are by no means less fiery, and the virtuosic intricacies on this disc are sure to knock prog fans of that persuasion like bowling pins right into the gutter. Along for the ride here are: fellow disgruntled Mahavishnu departee Jan Hammer on keys; the late, cult-legend Tommy Bolin on guitars; and Lee Sklar (that's right, the same guy who would later show up on Phil Collins' wimpy 80s solo albums), flexing much more muscle on bass. Particularly noteworthy are the tracks "Quadrant 4," "Spectrum" (the bass riff of which was later sampled by Massive Attack for "Safe" from their album Blue Lines), and the laid-back "Red Baron." This stuff would probably have been earth-shaking with McLaughlin. Nonetheless, Bolin fills some big shoes without blinking an eye, inserting smoldering solos left and right. One downside to this album is that drum solos are inserted before each of the 'main' tracks, but thankfully these only each last about a minute or so. A great purchase for the Mahavishnu fan, just don't expect any Indian scales, Bartok harmonies, or anything like that.


Note - Incidentally I believe the album would not have been as good with McLaughlin. Tommy Bolin's style was much more appropriate.
