I am currently in the midst of exploring all of the old fusion albums of the seventies. And while some of the playing on groups such as Weather report, and return to forever is great, the production values, and the synthesizer have made the overall effect a bit too plastic sounding for my taste (far outwieghing my apreciation for the talent). anyone have any suggestions for wading through the fusion material around this time, i.e. how best to wade around the more dated sounding records? what do people think of Circle? Tony Williams Lifetime? Also, has anyone attempted to redo any of these songs with more of an edge? nathan
