After three highly acclaimed albums, the Chick Corea Elektric Band had nothing to lose with the release of INSIDE OUT. Picking up where the previous album, EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, left off, this record is a nice balance of the group's creative musical inventiveness and technological flights of fancy. The core trio of Corea, Patitucci and Weckl remains the key focus of the quintet's energy while Marienthal (sax) and Gambale (guitar) provide colorful embellishments over the ever-evolving textures. Stylistically, INSIDE OUT is a cross between all three of the previous efforts. The acoustic piano Corea incorporated into the electric format on EYE makes a welcome return, as does Weckl's natural drum sound. The funk grooves from LIGHT YEARS are present in the opening title track and the tasty "Kicker." Of course, the group never let up on its amazing displays of virtuosity initiated on the first self-titled disc; tracks like the aptly titled "Tale Of Daring," a multi-part suite, push the limits of musical imagination with jaw-dropping technical feats. In all, this is the most challenging disc the band recorded and a marvel of complexity and detail.
