JLP's Masterpiece,
By Kirk Lott "a strange and unusual person" (adrift on the seas of life) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Individual Choice (Audio CD)
This is truly Jean-Luc's masterpiece, for many reasons. First, it's the album where he truly stretched out by exploring many different instruments and textures, not just his violin. Second, every track has a completely different mood, and is in a world of its own, from the happy and upbeat "Far from the Beaten Paths" to the moody, brooding "Nostalgia" and everything in between. The end result is that the album as a whole takes you on an amazing journey. And finally, while JLP's music is instrumental, this album truly speaks. Every song tells a story, a story of strong emotion. And how each listener interprets these stories is left to his or her "individual choice." Wonderful.

A very good change for Ponty.,
By Spencer Lent "Spence" (Green Bay, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Individual Choice (Audio CD)
This album is one of my favorites because I love the synthesizer sounds of the 80's, and this album is full of it. This album was done almost entirely by Ponty himself, who aside from being an awesome violinist is also a distinguished pianist. Only a couple of the songs have other musicians. The opening track, "Computer Incantations for World Peace" is beautiful, and the song "Individual Choice" was made into a music video, making Ponty, along with Herbie Hancock, one of the first jazz musicians to make a music video. Another track, "Nostalgia", is played with Alan Holdsworth. Overall, a great album.

Computer Incantations For World Peace,
By A Customer
This review is from: Individual Choice (Audio CD)
I bought the LP version in 1983 and I still play it in my turntable. Here in Lima, in the TV morning news, you can listen "Computer" as the dollar exchange values appear. Jean Luc makes an excellent violin solo in this song; definitely, the best track in the CD.
