Kudos to Wounded Bird for re-releasing this fusion classic. It is a wonderful combination of musicianship and composition. I was always disappointed that there was no followup album. This album will grab you from opening title track (which may induce sympathetic carpal tunnel syndrome) and will keep your interest throughout. Now if Wounded Bird would only release Larry Coryell and the Eleventh House's "Level One"!

Awesome Fusion Jazz Album,

This review is from: Sky Train (Audio CD)
An album I just never get tired of since I first got it in 1977 (oh my! I'm old!). Incredible musicianship: this is one REALLY tight band. The album starts off at full tilt and alternates between extremely high energy and relaxing cuts, which, frankly, is necessary because I have a tendency not to breathe during music of this intensity. It's a full band, with keyboards, guitar, sax, drums, and a powerhouse brass section.
Oh yes, and putting on my audiophile jerk hat, this is a very good recording. The keyboards and guitar are real. The brass is powerful. There is plenty of tight, controlled bass. Etc. It's not a super high tech recording where the recording quality is more important than the music (oops! Jaded attitude alert), but it's certainly good enough. It can be enjoyed at proper volumes without harshness. It's a great album. If you're a fusion fan, this should be in your collection, although it sets the bar very high. Somebody commented on the previous review that he saw this performed live: I cannot tell you how jealous I am!
