Cultural Facts: [43]
- McLaughlin's Double-Neck Fusion Peak: John McLaughlin wrote Birds of Fire for the classic lineup with Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, and Rick Laird. The title track's odd-meter rush became a fusion standard.
- Miles Beyond Is a Nod to Davis: Miles Beyond credits Miles Davis, McLaughlin's former boss from the Bitches Brew/In A Silent Way circle. The tune is a thank-you that still sounds like Mahavishnu, not a cover.
- Spiritual Name, Brutal Volume: McLaughlin took the Mahavishnu name from his studies with Sri Chinmoy, but the band was famously loud. Birds of Fire is meditation music only if your meditation includes Cobham's snare.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
