Jerry Goodman & Jan Hammer - Like Children (1974)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Jan Hammer - The First Seven Days (1975)

Having recently departed from Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jerry Goodman and Jan Hammer quickly set about making this stellar collaborative album of far-out, heady prog/jazz rock/fusion. Dynamic and relentlessly entertaining, in an extremely nerdy kinda way.

Track listing:
1. Country and Eastern Music
2. No Fear
3. I Remember Me
4. Earth (Still Our Only Home)
5. Topeka
6. Steppings Tones
7. Night
8. Full Moon Boogie
9. I Wonder

Steal my body home

Give these a spin, too:

2. Miles Beyond (Miles Davis)
3. Celestial Terrestrial Commuters
4. Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love
