- 180GR./PRODUCED BY GEORGE MARTIN
The second line-up of the multinational jazz-rock fusion band Mahavishnu Orchestra recorded Apocalypse
in 1974 together with the London Symphony Orchestra. George Martin was
responsible for producing this brand new sound from the band. Jazz
fusion and progressive rock blended together in this energetic mix of
harmonies and epical orchestrations. John McLaughlin lyrical and fiery
guitar sound takes an important role in the musical direction of the
album.
Mahavishnu Orchestra have been cited many times as a
big influence on everyone from King Crimson and Frank Zappa to The Mars
Volta. Frontman and guitarist John McLaughlin has always been the main
figure in the band, both during their first (1971-1976) and second
line-up (1984-1987).
