Editorial Review:
Album Description:
2008 release from guitar legend John McLaughlin. John has already said Floating Point 'may be the best record I ever made.' That's really saying something when you consider McLaughlin's prolific and trailblazing career. The guitarist and composer has appeared on some of the most important jazz-rock and world music albums in the last 40 years.
For Floating Point, which was recorded in India, McLaughlin used several of the best Indian musicians in the world. McLaughlin calls these players the 'young lions' of India. They include keyboardist Loiuz Banks, drummer Ranjit Barot, electric sitarist Niladri Kumar, flautists Shashank and Naveen Kumar, percussionist Sivamani, vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, electric mandolinist U.Rajesh, and Hindustini slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya. Joining them were other Western stars, saxophonist George Brooks and bassist Hadrien Feraud. With a line-up like that, you would expect a very Indian experience. But, McLaughlin says not necessarily so.
'Now while this CD features predominantly Indian musicians, we are in quite another form compared to the group Shakti,' McLaughlin says. 'The music is for the most part 'Jazz-Fusion' if a label has to be put on it. But with the musicians involved in this project, it has also a 'world' kind of atmosphere.'
McLaughlin adds, 'I really am happy with the outcome of this CD which actually came about quite spontaneously and without any real planning. You can hear in the music where I am in my development, and in which directions I'm moving. It was a real thrill to play with these players, and I offer my thanks to them for their unique contributions. I truly wish and hope that it brings something to the listeners. I also offer my deep thanks to them for their continued support to my dedicated work.'

This album is even better than the previous "Industrial Zen" .... quite some fantasy and listenability is improved .... nomore intellectual thoughts.
Go on Johnny !

One of the things i'll never understand is how John got so far away from the path he himself created to follow this 'empty' one. This continues his trend of hollow passionless works of late. Nothing to do with 'Extrapolation', Mahavishnu, Old Shakti or even some of his more jazz oriented work of the 80s and 90s. Hated the plastic sound of this production. Buy at your own risk.

This product was a gift to a friend, so I cannot comment except to say that he is very happy with this CD.

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, I will understand and appreciate this recording.
Since I am young, opinionated, closed minded and longing for yesterday's thrill, I do not appreciate this recording.
Whoops, I forgot I am 59 years old and I do appreciate this subtle and complex union of cultures.

I understand John will be touring with Chick Corea.
Maybe,just maybe it will stoke some of the old McLaughlin's "Inner Mounting Flame".
Sorry I must join the others, a hero has fallen. Please John no more, start playing with guys you don't like.
