     Multi-instrumentalist James Mason only made one album - but what an
     album it was! Often cited as one of the best fusion albums ever
     made Rhythm of Life was released on the tiny independent
     Chiaroscuro label in 1977, but it was the classic Sweet Power Your
     Embrace - with the wonderfully piercing ARP String Ensemble intro
     followed by a growling ARP Odyssey bassline - that made it such a
     sought after album. But the whole of Side One is equally as good -
     the lead vocals of Clarice Taylor reaching amazing heights on Good
     Thing and Free. James Mason played guitar on many of Roy Ayers best
     early works and curiously reappeared in the mid-80's on New York
     disco label Prelude as Wuf Ticket (The Key). Apart from that his
     output has been minimal, but a recent 12" (the excellent I Want
     Your Love) and a successful tour of the UK last year may yet lead
     to Mason adding to this unique album. --kirkdegiorgio.com
