Reissue with DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. Beautiful early work from Weather Report – one of the finest statements ever uttered by group, and a set that's got a bit more soul and warmth than their first album! The lineup's changed slightly at this point – still Wayne Shorter on reeds, Joe Zawinul on keyboards, and Miroslav Vitous on bass – but Eric Gravatt has replaced Alphonse Mouzon on drums, and Dom Um Romao's taken over for Airto on percussion – giving the record an even earthier feel at times! Despite the sci-fi promise of the title and cover image, the electronics are toned down slightly for this record – making for a set that's sometimes more personal, yet which also explodes with a new sense of majesty on some of the fuller tracks. The latter of these add in some extra horns and a few singers – used sparingly, but beautifully – and titles include "Unknown Soldier", "The Moors", "Crystal", "Surucucu", and "Directions". Personnel: Josef Zawinul - electric and acoustic keyboard Wayne Shorter - reeds Miroslav Vitous - bass Eric Gravatt - drums tracklist: 01 - Unknown Soldier 02 - The Moors 03 - Crystal 04 - Second Sunday in August 05 - Medley- Vertical Invader - T.H. - Dr.Honoris Causa 06 - Surucucu 07 - Directions
