A collection of material BrianAuger recorded for RCA. Included are long lean groovers mostly with the Oblivion Express group – recorded with a slightly freer feel than some of the group's earlier albums, and an approach that has them stretching out nicely! Brian still sings a bit on some tracks, but there seems to be more of a focus than before on the keyboards – that nicely compressed Auger use of Hammond and electric piano that actually went onto influence a fair bit of American players at the time, in the way that Auger himself had been influenced before by their own earlier work. Some nice remakes of "Freedom Jazz Dance" and "Inner City Blues" are on here, as well as the original compositions "Straight Ahead", "Happiness Is Just Around The Bend", "Foolish Girl", and "Listen Here" with Trinity. LP, Vinyl record album
Tracks include "Freddie's Flight", "Light My Fire", "Troubleman", "Season Of The Witch", and the the title track, "Looking In The Eye Of The World". CD

A great little album by Lenny White – nicely restrained in the best moments, with less of the heavy-hitting fusion sound that you'd hear on his other albums – and even done with a strong current of funk, which really sends the whole thing home in a great way! Space jazz maestro Pat Gleeson produced the album with Lenny – and also plays quite a bit of synth on the album – and we're convinced that it's Pat's subtler jazz talents that really make this one shine – those cool keyboards, and strong sense of balance that he brought to his own albums, and other productions of the time. Highlights include the spiritual soul number "Sweet Dreamer", with vocals by Linda Tillery and keyboards by Herbie Hancock – and the tight "Big City" groove, which features great contributions from both BrianAuger's Oblivion Express, and the Tower Of Power Horns. Other tracks include "The Ritual", "Rapid Transit", "And We Meet Again", "Enchanted Pool Suite", and "Ritmo Loco". CD
Fully-electrified work from legendary drummer Tony Williams – every bit as searing as you might expect, given that the date features BrianAuger on keyboards and Ronnie Montrose on guitar! The rockish leanings of both of those musicians get plenty of space here, as does the basswork of Mario Cipollina – and the tunes are in the best rock fusion territory of some of Williams' famous studio albums from a few years before – but also maybe have a more spacious quality here in a live setting! The recording quality is strong – the program was originally produced for Japan's NHK Radio – and titles include "There Comes A Time", "Red Alert", "Dragon Song", "Open Fire", "Heads Up", "Tropic Of Capricorn", "Rocky Road", and even a drum solo from Tony!
