Music Review: Return To Forever - The Anthology - Page 2

So rather than get into a track by track breakdown here, I'm just going to cut right to the chase. If, like me, you are in any way dazzled by blinding displays of four great musicians playing their asses off, then you need to get this CD. The way these four guys gel together is simply nothing short of amazing from a strictly musical standpoint.

Again to cut somewhat to the chase, Corea's "light as a feather" keyboard flourishes provide the color. DiMeola's lightning fast guitar runs provide the flash, while Clarke's bass popping and White's razor tight drumming anchors it all down with a rock solid funk foundation.

These guys were a once in a lifetime combination of some of the greatest pure musical talent in the world. The good news is I hear they plan on sticking around long enough to make some more music together once the reunion tour is done. In the meantime, this collection will do just fine.
