Query: Unique Compositional Skill

John McLaughlin has been my favorite guitarist since the first Mahavishnu album. I realize why some people don't fathom much of his music as is the case with my number two favorite, Allan Holdsworth. Holdsworth's compositions have been described as mathematical progressions but if you listen carefully his compositions are a unique music that can't be pigeonholed. It's the same with JM. You have to listen to a lot of his music but the reward is realizing he has created his own unique music that can be labeled as fusion but the more correct label would be John McLaughlin. When you listen to the tribute albums, it reinforces what superb compositional skills JM has. Zen Industrial is another great album by JM of which there are many. If you don't like the sax and some other aspects of the album, concentrate on the compositions which are one of a kind. A strong four star effort.
