The union wasn't taken seriously at the time, and it ended up harming the reputation of Thomas -- a remarkably adventurous young conductor who defied the stuffy classical powers-that-be and thus probably delayed his eventual rise to the top -- more than McLaughlin. But those with ears, then and now, beheld a remarkable series of pieces that neatly juxtapose and occasionally combine the combustion of McLaughlin's group with rich, tasteful symphonic statements orchestrated for McLaughlin by Michael Gibbs. The new Mahavishnu-ites, electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and keyboardist\/vocalist Gayle Moran, have their moments, but the real focus of this disc is the quality of the symphonic conceptions and how well McLaughlin blends his lyrical and fiery guitar into the mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mahavishnu_Orchestra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mahavishnu_Orchestra\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nA1 Power Of Love 4:36\u003cbr\u003eA2 Vision Is A Naked Sword 14:16\u003cbr\u003eA3 Smile Of The Beyond 7:56\u003cbr\u003eB1 Wings Of Karma 6:12\u003cbr\u003eB2 Hymn To Him 19:23","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"1974","offer_id":14832632725613,"sku":"","price":148.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/3988_foto1_product_xl.jpg?v=1571439596","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/copy-of-mahavishnu-orchestra-with-london-symphony-orchestra-apocalypse","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
