The cover, with its psychedelic touch, also contributed significantly to its popularity — although it was unclear where the crossing was going to take us ...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, the excellent trumpeter Eddie Henderson — often underestimated as an improviser and composer, and Benny Maupin — who like Hancock had grown up under Miles Davis's wing, present a wide range of sound-generating instruments — as was all the rage in those days. Synthesizer and Mellotron (a polyphonic tape replay keyboard and as such practically the prototype of the sampler) were permanent members of the group — and even produce here melodic arches of sound! Whether Bennie Maupin's \"Quasar\" launches the group and us into extraterrestrial territory (as stated in one review) is a moot point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis LP is a contemporary historical document, though it certainly doesn't sound antiquated. That's why younger listeners too will find pleasure in this experiment from the previous millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecording: February 1972 at Pacific Recording Studios, San Mateo, CA., by Patrick Gleason\u003cbr\u003e\nProduction: David Rubinson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.
