>I wore out an LP and then a cassette of Weather Report's "Mysterious Traveler" and still listen to it once in a while on CD. That record was *really* out there. It stood out even in rock's most creative period.

It's interesting that later works of the members have gone in quite different directions. I thought I'd like Miroslav Vitouš, being Slavic etc, but what I could find of him was exactly what I despise. OTOH, Joe Zawinul is the right kind of crazy. Haven't run into anything by Wayne Shorter or Jaco Pastorius yet, so I wouldn't know.
