Withe the original lineup officially no more, John McLaughlin decided to assemble a completely new version of the band. For Apocalypse, he brought in violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and a host of players, including the London Symphony Orchestra, and famdd Ed Beatles producer George Martin to help the project. My friend who turned me on to Mahavishnu Orchestra in the first place always told me to avoid the albums after the original split, but I can’t deny that this record is stunningly excellent.
1974 Canadian pressing on Columbia. For an album that can easily be had for under $5 to this day, it’s a killer pickup.
