my fav tune on Big Fun
i should've mentioned On the Corner Box Set which has the whole Get up
With It and selections from Big Fun as well

but lonely fire is great--love those sad unwinding weirdness. reminds
me of an earlier tune Sanctuary which I think was written by Wayne
Shorter

some of the slections on the box set of Jack Johnson are very
electronicky when McLaughlin's not buzzing away like he does so well

and speaking of apocalypse is there any other tune besides Bitches
Brew that envokes the Four Horseman (literally those quick trumpet
bits sound like horses to me) as good as this one does

'what a thing to do! what a great thing to do. what an honest thing to
do there in the studio to take what you know to be true, to hear it,
use it and put it in the right place. when they are concerned only
with the art that's when it really makes it. miles hears and what he
hears he paints with. when he sees he hears, eyes are just an aid to
hearing if you think of it that way. it's all in there, the beauty,
the terror and the love, the sheer humanity of life in this incredible
electric world which is so full of distortion that it can be beautiful
and frightening in the same instant.'

Ralph J. Gleason (god bless'em)
