During 1974 he decided to take a break from electric music and formed Shakti with several Indian musicians. Their first album was recorded live and consisted of only three compositions, one a whopping 29 minutes. Some sections were played at breakneck speed and others were quiet and meditative. A long tabla passage mirrored the drum solos that were the rage at the time. Moving into the studio resulted in mostly shorter songs and a more dynamic ensemble sound on A Handful of Beauty and Natural Elements. By the time they recorded Elements Shakti had become much more Western oriented, but they did not record again for two decades. McLaughlin plugged in again with Electric Guitarist and Electric Dreams. Although critics rate the former higher and the musicians included many of the fusion superstars of the time, it seems to me that Dreams was superior, even though one number had a rather vapid vocal added. Neither rose to the level of the Davis sessions McLaughlin played on or to the original Mahavishnu recordings. Overall, I give this bundle about 3 stars overall. The Shakti sets are the meat of the package; the Electric stuff is not essential. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beware the CD labels *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2020* The price is nice for five amazing albums. However, the five disks were mislabeled. I was familiar with three of the albums, so I was able to deduce what was what and then relabeled them with a black marker. At first I thought I might not have all five recordings, but they are all accounted for. Maybe this is a one-off, but I wanted to note this so the disks can be checked for quality assurance to avert any potential head scratching for others. I like to be nice so I am deducting only one star for the labels. Good enough. Thank you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/72865758-original-album-classics-electri-c-guitarist-electric-dreams-shakti-n](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/72865758-original-album-classics-electri-c-guitarist-electric-dreams-shakti-n) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
