Another Full Album Friday, and this time, it is one that yours truly has showcased individual tracks from before, but is posting as a full album, today. This is Billy Cobham's 1973 debut recording "Spectrum", a landmark album in the jazz rock fusion genre.
Spectrum is the debut album by jazz fusion drummer Billy Cobham. The album contains much influence of the music of Miles Davis and Mahavishnu Orchestra, with whom Cobham had previously collaborated extensively. Tommy Bolin, who would go on to join the hard rock band Deep Purple two years later, plays the lead guitar. The song "Stratus" appears in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV of the radio station "Fusion FM", as well as being the main sample in the Massive Attack hit "Safe from Harm".
The track listing is:
1. Quadrant 4
2. Searching For The Right Door/Spectrum
3. Anxiety/Taurian Matador
4. Stratus
5. To The Women In My Life/Le Lis
6. Snoopy's Search/Red Baron
Fiddlesticks! The full album video for "Spectrum" by Billy Cobham, has become unavailable. Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen.
