Jean-Luc Ponty reaches a musical peak by releasing this excellent fusion record. Looking at the new line-up here, the talent and reliability of the musicians is not questionable: Mark Craney (Jethro Tull’s “A”) plays very fast and EXTREMELY elaborated drums. Tom Fowler (Frank Zappa) plays a restless, complex and very melodic bass. Daryl Stuermer is absolutely majestic, playing a beautiful acoustic guitar in unison with Ponty’s VERY melodic electric violin. Stuermer shows here that he can also be a decent electric guitar player, as reveals his light wah-wah solo on “Tarantula”: however, we feel here his solo sound still not comparable to David Gilmour’s “Money” solo. However, he is an EXCELLENT acoustic guitar player, and he should stay in that department. Allan Zavod, on keyboards, does an honest job, although he rather stays in the background.
On side 2, the high-speed recordings in “Imaginary Voyage Part 1” are absolutely breathtaking: the comparison with Yes’ “Sound Chaser” is inevitable. The epic track “Imaginary Voyage” may be uninterruptedly listened without any problem, although Stuermer’s electric guitar solos have nothing really spectacular.
