Review of the John Mclaughlin CD Industrial Zen

I can describe the latest release from Jazz sensation John Mclaughlin for you with just one word Outstanding!

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce thats exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

Industrial Zen has a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If youre a John Mclaughlin fan, or just a fan of Jazz music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - New Blues Old Bruise, track 5 - To Bop Or Not To Be, and track 8 - Mother Nature

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - For Jaco. Its a great track!
