| hschlossberg (Los Angeles) | Posted: Feb 20, 2013 - 16:37 I was a BIG fan of this album back in college (mid-80's) and it is GREAT to hear it again now. I think I may still have this packed away on vinyl. ;-) |

| michaelgmitchell (Stirling, ON) | Posted: Aug 16, 2012 - 06:07 Back in 2008, I commented about this track sending me off to beddy-bye. This morning, it's a beautiful wake-up call. How about that? Cool. |
| lkovathana (Chicago, Illinois) | Posted: Jul 15, 2012 - 19:38 This is an old album. I recognize the cover. Thanks so much for playing Jean-Luc Ponty — one of my early violin heros. Knowledge of his existence (and apparent liberation) made the strict etudes and hours of practice tolerable. |

| krysthal (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Apr 11, 2012 - 16:30 Awesome tune! Brings back memories. Another of 1,000 reasons why I love RP! |
| dew34 (United States) | Posted: Apr 11, 2012 - 16:29 I would play this cassette in the early mornings(3 AM) while I headed to the lake for fishing. What a mood it created. I still get that thrill now even when the sun is high in the sky! |
| SueBea | Posted: Oct 04, 2011 - 12:35 Cool song. Really eclectic! |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Oct 04, 2011 - 12:34 Love this tune! |
| ddog (Midwest USA) | Posted: Oct 04, 2011 - 12:33 Love JLP, I saw him live during his Tchokola tour, great live performance! Bill, please play more from JLP, he has so much really good music. |
| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Oct 04, 2011 - 12:33 First listen for this, and I already LOVE it! He used to perform with Elton John (Honky Chateau? Can't remember exactly...) but he's far better on his own. I need this CD. |
| molson (Santa Rosa, CA) | Posted: Oct 04, 2011 - 12:32 One of the greatest progressive jazz albums ever, I still listen to this and Enigmatic Oceans all the time. Sweet choice Bill, I have never heard JLP on RP. It would be cool to throw is daughters music into the mix sometime, check out Clara Ponty, an absolutely amazing pianest, her dad plays a bit on her stuff. Cheers Bill! |
| jimbaca (Albuquerque) | Posted: Oct 04, 2011 - 12:30 I saw Jean-Luc in concert many years ago. Fantastic! We need to hear more of him on RP. |
| calypsus_1 | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 20:31  Jean-Luc Ponty by ~rockograaf mats õun Tallinn festival Jazzkaar 2009 . |
| sub-arctic (63°50' N) | Posted: May 20, 2009 - 01:31 Nice sliding tackle from the Cosmic Messenger there on the cover! |
| hobbitt | Posted: Mar 17, 2009 - 21:51 Nice groove. Reminds me of Ponty's early (70s) work. Not the buzz saw stuff he got into latter. Edit: Well, duh!  It is his early stuff! |
| tm (Atlanta) | Posted: Feb 14, 2009 - 08:31 JLP - amazing... perfect timing for my day! |
| philbertr (Hurricane Target Florida) | Posted: Feb 14, 2009 - 08:30 I've recently started listening to Jean-Luc again after a long haitus, it is truly amazing music!! 9  10 |

One of the best concerts I ever ever saw was John McLaughlin Orchestra w/ Jean Luc Ponty. It was like seeing Bach and Vivaldi play together along with other beyond top notch musicians playing the most intricate, difficult, beautiful, ecstatic and harmonic music imaginable. I think I saw that show! Was that in Sacramento? |
| flyboy50 (Austin TX) | Posted: Aug 08, 2008 - 15:39 Microdot, mushrooms and Jean Luc. I'm in smiley heaven. |

| snowcat (Cold, Frozen Minnesota) | Posted: Aug 08, 2008 - 15:36 My dad turned me onto this. My childhood musical taste was never the same after that.  |
| jjbix (san diego) | Posted: Jun 06, 2008 - 12:52 JLP was ahead of his time and his music is as timeless as ever. good stuff. Way to dig deep Bill! |
| geoffgeoffrey (Northern California) | Posted: Jun 06, 2008 - 12:43 I think this came out in the late 70's. I remember the cover, sitting in my dorm room in 8th grade. Great Stuff! |

| dantheman | Posted: Apr 04, 2008 - 14:22 One of my favorite albums. It was left at one of my brother's parties back in the 70s. I still have it, and listen to it all the time. |

I saw Jean-Luc Ponty in 1979/80 with Supertramp's "Breakfast in America" tour as the warm up act in Ottawa, Canada. He came on stage, and beat his bow on his strings for emphasis - and blew all the speakers/fuses on stage. Took 45 minutes to get it back to normal. And then he jammed. Quite the show. Always love going to Ottawa, it's Canadian, but feels very European. |

I was in the other room when this track started and I was going "I know this, I know this, I know this, what the heck is it?" Great to hear it again. Ditto. In HS I was listenting to this, Weather Report, Chick Corea and RTF. I'm only now learning about Led Zep...late bloomer. Thanks to iTunes, I've popped quite a few of these old school fusion-y/jazz/whatevers on my Shuffle for snowboarding. |
