The Best Of Spirit (1973)
“Mechanical World”, written in part by future Heart (Huh?? Something here is kind of weird) bassist (for Heart’s famous commercial-sellout years) Mark Andes, comes out of nowhere and mesmerizes you with its changes in tempo, instrumental mastery, and air of lonely beauty. The rest is written by others, and doesn’t hold a candle to Mark’s early-life peak achievement.
