| the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's | | | | 1. For Jaco |
| exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is | | | | 2. New Blues Old Bruise |
| NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with | | | | 3. Wayne's Way |
| each song standing tall on it's own. | | | | 4. Just So Only More So |
| Industrial Zen has a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks | | | | 5. To Bop Or Not To Be (For Michael Brecker) |
| that are very well written songs by this clearly superb | | | | 6. Dear Dalai Lama |
| artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the | | | | 7. Senor C.S. |
| kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. | | | | 8. Mother Nature |
| Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him | | | | Personnel: John McLaughlin (vocals, guitar, fretless |

| If you're a John Mclaughlin fan, or just a fan of Jazz | | | | Gary Husband (keyboards, drums); Otmaro Ruiz |
| music this is a CD your collection simply should not be | | | | (synthesizer); Hadrien Faraud, Tony Gray, Matthew |

| While this entire CD is outstanding some of my | | | | Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Zakir Hussain |
| favorites are track 2 - New Blues Old Bruise, track 5 - | | | | (tabla); Marcus Wippersberg (drum programming). |
| To Bop Or Not To Be, and track 8 - Mother Nature | | | | Recording information: Metropolis Studios, London, |
