The Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire 1973 torrent

In 1973, hard rock ruled the universe.

But Birds of Fire, a pure instrumental jazz-rock album, managed to crack into the Billboard Top 20 Rock Charts.

Birds of Fire advanced fusion into the modern age, a mere year after the band's The Inner Mounting Flame had given it its real birth. Rock and jazz fans from all over the world tuned into the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
The Mahavishnu Orchestra offered jazz-rock anthems. The band's tunes were carefully built, musical brick by musical brick. Fully fleshed-out themes filled the ears, and the rhythmic intensity was strangely comforting. This album was recorded LOUD. "Birds of Fire," which opens up the album, is a fusion classic.

The Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire set the standard for great fusion music in the 1970's.
