I really think that Visions of the Emerald Beyond is their best. Most people start with The Inner Mounting Flame, but tbh, that album bores the **** out of me.

I'd have to agree with you there (at least out of the albums I've heard). I'm surprised your post is the first mention of that album. Reminds me a lot of Zappa in places.

I've been binging on Mahavishnu all day. Birds of Fire and Inner Mounting Flame are ****ing amazing. Except for Open Country Joy. That song sucks.

After a steady diet of Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, hearing Mahavishnu for the first time (Between Nothingness and Eternity) in 1974 blew my ****ing mind. Haven't been the same since.

Check out "From Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust" by Ken Scott. He spends a lot of time talking about recording Birds of Fire.
