RETURN TO FOREVER “Hymn of the 7th Galaxy” TOP NOTCH FUSION

RETURN TO FOREVER
“Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy” (U.S. Polydor Records) 1973, 7 Tracks, Original Pressing
Condition: Vinyl: Near Mint Sleeve: Very Good++ Hymn of The Seventh Galaxy is the third album by jazz fusion artists Return To Forever. For those unfamiliar with the group, RTF has helped kick start the careers of some of the most acknowledged talents of the genre such as Al Di Meola, Flora Purim & Airto Moreira with the only consistent members being keyboard wizard Chick Corea and bassist Stanley Clarke. Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy is the first non-vocal album by the band, and is unique in the sense that is the only album to feature Bill Connors on electric guitar. It is something of a space-rock opera with a psychedelic latin jazz flavor incorporating funk and avant-garde elements, and as much of a mouthful this mashing of genres sounds for any band to possibly work with the 1973 line-up of Return To Forever handles it impressively.
