    Spectrum: Anthology is a double-disc, 25-track compilation that traces the evolution of Tony Williams' early-'70s jazz fusion combo, Lifetime. Over the course of their career, Lifetime featured a number of top jazz and ock players, including John McLaughlin, Ron Carter, Alan Holdsworth, Larry Young, and Jack Bruce, with many of the musicians turning in edgy, exciting performances. In fact, Spectrum is a better way to get acquainted with Lifetime than the actual albums, since it condenses the cream of the crop down to one illuminating anthology.

...the other day, just listened to it last night. I like it, it's a little more focused(some say restrained) than _Emergency_ and it's still got all the hot licks and it even has Jack Bruce singing some tracks. Good good stuff. But don't get me wrong,_Emergency_ is the shit, just a little more drawn out than this set.
