maybe this has been posted before... if you like american don and the first storm and stress, go buy miles davis' bitches brew and everything that the mahavishnu orchestra ever did.

I don't see the link between those albums with Bitches Brew or anything Mahavishnu Orchestra did . Infact, I think Miles & Mahavishnu Orchestra have little in common besides the superficial links. But yes I think Bitches Brew is fantastic, and everything after that Miles did up to his break in 1975.

i wasn't trying to say there's a link between the mo and bitches brew, and i agree there isn't... just like there's little stylistic link between storm and stress and american don. but i think there's some kinship between bitches brew and storm and stress, and some separate friendliness between the mo- at least mo1- and don cab. the mo don cab link i think is especially clear. listen to "you know you know." it's got the repetition, the unlikely emerging expressions, the togetherness and appartness, and billy cobham drumming.... billy cobham was obviously a big influence on che.... this is all sort of pitchfork drivel... i just meant to say that if you can appreciate american don and storm and stress you will be happy to buy some mo and bitches brew... also if you love speaking canaries and the new don cab you'd probably like rush... and if you like mirrored you'd probably go for fripp and eno's no pussyfooting... also, if you haven't listened to king crimson you live under a rock... and if you live under a rock listen to talibam! because kevin shea doesn't

I don't think Damon ever listened to Mahavishnu Orchestra and I don't believe Billy Cobham could be considered any kind of influence. I'm always kind of surprised that Damon has never given props to Rey Washam who was a major influence.
I LOVE the first 3 Mahavishnu records. The influence definitely crept in there. A friend once pointed that out. Witness guitar part beginning at 2:44 of Dick Suffers.

i too have been getting into the first 4 MO records. those guys were so ahead of their time. i wish they could exist in modern-day just to see what people would think of those guys. cobham has really been a big influence on my drum playing lately, i thikn mainly his use of rolls and tempo more than anything. id love to pick that guy's brain ;D
