Enjoy the new gear, Stefan!

After some (re)listening, I'd likely rate their first album -- Catalyst (Cobblestone, 1972) -- as their second strongest LP after Perception. It's available on YT. Listen for yourself and let me know if you agree!

I hope you enjoy them!

NP: Catalyst - The Funkiest Band You Never Heard (32 Groove, rel. 1999) Disc 1 - Originally released as 2 LPs: Catalyst (Cobblestone, 1972) and Unity (Muse, 1974)

Sorry @Rooster_Ties, I'd have to listen to all four of them again to offer an informed opinion. I only remember that I'd liked Perception best. That said, just about anything with Odean Pope is worth hearing, IMO.

I'm going to give that a listen. Thanks for the prompt. Are you familiar with this one, @jazzbo? It also features Marc Copland & Gary Peacock. While it's not exactly recent -- it's from 2006 -- it's a wonderful record.

Yes, and that's good to see. Between their in-house "Jazz Dispensary" series and Zev Feldman's reissues, it appears that (at least SOME) of the Muse catalog will be made available again. Yeah, that's an excellent set. Since I have it, I won't be ordering the vinyl. (The CDs are perfectly sufficient for me.) But I'm still glad that the vinyl issue will be available for others. Also, I think Perception is the strongest of the four albums in that set.
