5715. John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu - Mitch Match
 |
| From: Adventures in Radioland; Year: 1987; Genre: Jazz Fusion |
I guess you could more or less call this album the last gasp of the storied jazz fusion band Mahavishnu Orchestra; other than some unreleased tracks from the '70s, greatest hits and live albums, this would be it. Really, the last two records post-reformation were quite different from the material in the 1970s, but that does not make it bad by any means, on the contrary, this one is quite a fun disc to hear.
Anyway, this synthesizer-heavy instrumental piece was penned by the song's namesake: composer/keyboardist Mitchell Foreman. You can certainly hear influences from the album if you ever played Japanese RPG video games back in the 1980s and 1990s; the music in some of those games must've been somehow, if not influenced by this band, someone similar for sure.
