Superb drumming technique and powerful funk
A dynamic performance that freely manipulates changing time signatures against a backdrop of sharp ensemble playing.
From the opening track "Quadrant 4," Billy Cobham's ferocious double bass drumming and Tommy Bolin's distorted riffs explode. Jan Hammer's synths add a futuristic touch, and a heavy funk groove permeates the entire album. The raw sound, recorded in just a few days, captures even the lingering resonance of the snare and cymbals with remarkable clarity. The relentless exchange between bass and drums in "Stratus" influenced later dance music. A masterpiece that symbolizes the fusion of jazz and rock.
