Alternating Currents

Overall this is one of the finest and funkiest albums Spyro Gyra ever released,containing some adventurous instrumental grooves,grooves and harmonic variations that showed this was no mere "late 70's brunch style jazz-pop fluke" kind of band. "Shakedown" puts them to the test and succeeds with that retro R&B shuffle that gives it the flavor of a more obviously upbeat Steely Dan sound. The title song and in particular the uniquely chorded "Binky's Dream No.6" are both furious,energetic funk tunes that build up in energy level and never stop until the song does,especially the parts where the bass is carrying the tunes. Jay Beckenstein's "Taking The Plunge","PG" and in particular the Dave Samuels "Mardis Gras" are the only real throwbacks to the "old" late 70's sound of the band most people remember. The album concludes with two Tom Schuman numbers-the slow and jazzy "I Believe In You" and the slickly grooving "Sunflurry",showcasing how Schuman knows his way around the fusion synthesizer in much the same manner Jeff Lorber does.
