Affirmation ~ USA


Identity Crises. 1985 Rhombus

Much more edgy and interesting than their 1980 debut. There's almost a bit of "Kraut Fusion" here (think Real Ax Band), combined with the more obvious electric viola driven Jean-Luc Ponty styling. Rare that a jazz rock album from 1985 has any personality at all, much less surpassing one from a better era. Nice album here.

Priority: 3

Their Inner City debut Lost Angeles was reissued on CD by Rhombus (the label this LP is on). Strange.
