4 out of 5 stars Don't Let the Artwork Fool You!.......2007-01-24

This is Gillan's best over all album. Class, Style and Power. A great listen from beginning to end. This is NOT DP!
I found the cover art work kind of juvenile and thought maybe it was a Stryper Album. HA! This is Gillan show casing his true talent in Jazz Fusion and picking a fine ensemble of musicians able to show case his vocal prowess. His best song is not on this album though it IS his best album. Highly reccommend Scarabus and Toolbox in that order.

4 out of 5 stars This is music.......2000-08-16

Gillan made a record that is above formulas or rotules, like "metal", "rock", "techno" or jazz. This is puire music, enjoyable and well played. No formulas here, pals.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet to listen.......1999-08-18

This is the second IAn GIllan Band album, and Gillan allowed his musicians to fly free in their musical ideas. The result was this funk-jazz-rock album, different and creative, that may not be good to some GIllan fans. But I just love it, even being a hard-metal fan till the bone!

4 out of 5 stars Ian Gillan and his band in a jazz-rock fusion adventure........1999-06-08

If you haven't heard this album yet, it is good to know first that it doesn't sound like Deep Purple at all! Gillan was experimenting with jazz-rock circa 1976, so don't expect anything like "Black Night" or "Strange Kind of Woman", two of the veteran screamer's signature songs.

What you're gonna find is careful arrangements with a full horn section, flutes, lots of keyboards (not the Purple Hammond, I think there are Fender Rhodes and early synths), latin percussion added to the rhythmic session, and a good guitar, sans distortion. Gillan's voice is in fine shape, but he releases his animal screaming power only in the song 3, "Money Lender". There are some extended instrumental passages, it's a record that requires patience to be fully enjoyed. Fans that only like heavy music will be alienated by the smoothness of some songs, but for those interested in discovering a less-known side of Gillan's career, CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE can be a treat.

4 out of 5 stars Pure, unadulterated Gillan at the top of his game.......1999-05-23

This album is one of Ian Gillans greatest releases since Deep Purple and Jesus Christ Superstar!
