I read the entire thread and YouTube'd the band. They gained a fan!

One of my favorite bands... John McLaughlin is one of the best guitarists ever.

It's too bad things fell apart for the band.
The members pretty much split because
McLaughlin would take comp credit for
stuff that the ensemble had worked out
amongst themselves. But after hearing
the direction they were going in after 5
albums, it was probably for the best. It
was certainly fun trying to keep up with
Cobham's playing tho - especially after
hearing his work on the Dreams album.
