What a fucking group this was! (70s lineup especially)

My memory of this album is that it didn’t hit in the same way the first did (“Shakti”). Still, discovering this group was one of the best things and kinda GOATed Mclaughlin for me.

Well the toxic but intrinsic aspect of democracy is that you have come up with some salesman pitch and hype to get elected, and then once elected, you’ve gotta do something for the people that elected you, not to mention that you’re likely inexperienced in running complex institutions like governments, so you don’t know what you can really do and probably have imposter syndrome or plain incompetence, so you come up with some rubbish you understand that is the easiest way to look like you’ve done something before the next election.
