Cosmic Messenger is more elegant, European-flavored jazz-rock from the French virtuoso Jean-Luc Ponty,
and pretty much in the same mold as his previous Atlantic albums but with gradually tightening control over
every parameter of performance. Ponty's analog-delay special effects on the title track are spectacular, and
the album is loaded more than ever with revolving electronic arpeggios as Ponty's own involvement with the
ARP synthesizer grows. But there is still plenty of his fluid, slippery electric violin soloing to be heard within
the tight structures of these pieces, and the tunes themselves are often pretty good. In addition, this fusion
express finds its way into the funk on "The Art of Happiness," and there are some tricky rhythmic
experiments on some tunes. (Review by Richard S. Ginell, AMG)
