Caldera / Time and Chance ('78)

A1	The Arousing	B1	Passages
A2	Reviviscence	B2	Dreamborne
A3	Mosaico	B3	Shanti
A4	Magewind	B4	Horizon's End
A5	Crosscountry

　まあ端的に言うと、陰気なスパイロ・ジャイラってところ。根暗なラテン・フュージョンって、聴いていて辛いです。
　ところが1曲だけ、ウキウキする曲がありましたよ。B3"Shanti"だけは、明るくて楽しくて、アルバム全体の雰囲気から完全に浮いています。
　この曲のみ、ラリー・ダンのプロデュースです。プロデューサーが変わるだけで、同じバンドでもサウンドがこれほどガラッと違うものになってしまう。
　いやあプロデューサーの役割って大きいんですね。
