It’s natural for John McLaughlin to take a stab at ‘Glancing Backwards’ considering her long-professed love for Depeche Mode. Since completing 1971’s ‘Glancing Backwards’, John McLaughlin fulfilled their contract with SixSteps records and where under no obligation to release another album. After seeing Glancing Backwards, I had to have a good John McLaughlin cd. Where Fortune Smiles is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Earth Bound Hearts to me is the best you can get from John McLaughlin. In Where Fortune Smiles the music gets its power. In New Place, Old Place the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Hope is pretty funky and mellow.
