I'm with you there. I'm not normally one for drum solos but Esnuria's intro is the greatest thing ever - I used to listen to it on repeat when I first discovered Gazeuse.

Brilliant. Allan Holdsworth replaces Steve Hillage after Holdsworth appeared on Soft Machine's Bundles, another jazz fusion classic and the band takes a different direction more into jazz fusion/rock. An instrumental masterpiece where Holdsworth soloing dominates some songs like Expresso, Night Illusion and Shadows Of. The rhythm section of Pierre Moerlen and Francis Moze is exceptional and tight as it can get. Expresso II is well done but can't touch this essential jazz fusion album.
