The cover, with its psychedelic touch, also contributed significantly to its popularity – although it was unclear where the crossing was going to take us… \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, the excellent trumpeter Eddie Henderson – often underestimated as an improviser and composer, and Benny Maupin – who like Hancock had grown up under Miles Davis’s wing, present a wide range of sound-generating instruments – as was all the rage in those days. Synthesizer and Mellotron (a polyphonic tape replay keyboard and as such practically the prototype of the sampler) were permanent members of the group – and even produce here melodic arches of sound! Whether Bennie Maupin’s \"Quasar\" launches the group and us into extraterrestrial territory (as stated in one review) is a moot point. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis LP is a contemporary historical document, though it certainly doesn’t sound antiquated. That’s why younger listeners too will find pleasure in this experiment from the previous millennium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eSide One:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1.
