Herbie Hancock: Thrust version on vinyl LP in Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Music On Vinyl in cooperation with Columbia and Legacy on 31. July 2015.

In 1974 Herbie Hancock came to the fore with the success of his single "Chameleon". The band, which at the time featured Mike Clark on drums, toured extensively throughout the United States, performing at festivals and large concert halls, playing to increasingly large and diverse audiences. The quintet quickly became a tight unit with stunning grooves invented by Paul Jackson and Mike Clark, who had already played together in Oakland and the Bay Area before joining Hancock. With this lineup, the band took off at warp speed, as evidenced by Robert Springett's cosmic picture on the cover of Thrust, recorded in San Francisco in the summer of 1974. The most striking example of the band's unique sound is "Actual Proof," a heavily reworked arrangement of a song Hancock originally wrote for the 1973 film The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The opening track "Palm Grease" is driven by Mike Clark's signature groove and Bill Summers' Latin-tinged drums. "Butterfly" is a lush ballad that showcases the mesmerizing work of horn player Bennie Maupin. The album closes with "Spank-A-Lee," a tribute to early '70s funk from Oakland ("2013 Sony Box Set Liner Notes") Review: "This album is a breathtaking adventure in high-tech funk music, with layers of melodies, rhythms, and riffs twisting around each other in complex patterns to create an orgy of sound. It stuns with its rhythmic technicality while being irresistibly catchy. The result is beautiful. It doesn't get any better than this." (progarchives.com) "This super-cool jazz-funk quintet album still sounds refreshing a quarter century later." (All Music Guide) "Thrust may not be a great album, but I think it's a very fine artifact from that era." (progreviews.com) "Rhythm, improvisation and feeling inspire many young musicians today and hopefully will continue to do so in the future."
