God, I haven't listened to them in ages. I use to really dig them though.

cobham is god- i love it when he's playing a solo, and his big ass 70s glasses start to slip off of his face, and he readjusts them without missing a beat...

"Inner Mounting Flame" is also a good one.

If you like Mahavishnu Orchestra check out Weather Report (with legendary bass player Jaco Pastorius) and Return to Forever (with Chick Corea and another legendary bassist Stanley Clark)

As is Between Nothingness and Eternity. It was the first album I heard from them and it's a live one... it is completely flawless though, I mistook it for a studio album.

Sadly this is one of those bands that has passed me by. If only I could hear music 24/7 and not work!

Birds of Fire is very good. I can appreciate it for what it is, even if it does not stimulate me as much as other albums may.

Last time I visited a close friend in Oxford we had, Birds of Fire blasting out into the street. We were just laughing at how mad it was...where do you draw the line between jazz-influenced prog and jazz fusion? more improv? only here could i ask this question...
