Album Review
Consistently imaginative, Enigmatic Ocean is one of Jean-Luc Ponty's finest accomplishments. The French violinist recorded his share of fusion gems during the 1970s, and this album is at the top of the list. Often aggressive but sometimes reflective and moody, this CD is as unpredictable as it is adventurous. Ponty has plenty of room to stretch out, let loose, and blow, and electric guitarists Allan Holdsworth and Daryl Stuermer contribute some inspired solos as well. Also quite impressive is the insightful and passionate drumming of Steve Smith, who went on to lead the superb fusion band Vital Information. Ponty takes one risk after another, and all of them pay off beautifully.
Customer Reviews
Enigmatic Ocean
Enigmatis Ocean, Part LI & Part LII are the same song! I am so dissapointed! Does anyone check these songs BEFORE they're put up here? HUGE MISSCUE!
Fabulous album, bad iTunes sampling and labeling
Once iTunes fixes the titles and samples of the "Enigmatic Ocean" (Parts I-IV), you should check it out. This album has an amazing set of songs. I have been fortunate enough to hear a few of these in a live concert and loved all versions (album and live). "The Struggle of the Turtle to the Sea" Parts I-III are a delight to hear and "Mirage" is a funky fusion that just makes me happy.
Enigmatic Ocean
If you'd bother to look at the duration of each track you will see they ARE NOT the same.
JLP was fabulous in concert (Allentown,PA) just after the release of Enigmatic Ocean.
Stop complaining or go to bed WITHOUT your Jean Luc.
What a bunch of babies.
