Fission (73 minutes)
As a follow up to JazzDJ's Fusion set, BendingCorners brings you Fission, a showcase of grinding guitars and squelchy synths. Presented here in roughly chronological order we follow the progression of "fusion jazz" from beautiful guitars in the late 1960's, to fast and furious jamming in the early 70's, to heavy synth work in the mid/late 70's (capped on both ends by Miroslav Vitous).

The Miroslav Vitous "Synthesizers Dance" is bar-none one of the best cuts I've heard in some time. I had no idea that Herbie Hancock was part of that project. Thanks to your .mp3 download I just ordered the entire track on the full album entitled "Magical Shepherd". By the way I just went and saw Herbie play live in Reno and he still kicks ass! Thanks for the download I'm always looking for stuff like this. Keep it coming!

What about Jeff Beck!!! Given the description of the program, he's about as "grindy" as anyone from that scene. His stuff with Stanley Clarke!!! Oh yeah, him too. But I'm not complaining - LOVE these podcasts!!!

what if you had to make a compilation of all the compilations; i wonder which tracks you would include. I think it would be interesting to hear, especially if you manage to include some 30 tracks or more in that mix; just the key parts.
