This is the first studio album from John McLaughlin since bad diagnosis in 1994. While no new John McLaughlin album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1994 tour in South America. When you buy a John McLaughlin album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This album is awesome.
In Molom Theme Song 1 the music gets its power. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with The Boy’s Theme 1. Breakfast The Cave is probably the most interesting track on Molom. I’ve found myself listening to The Four Seasons back to back and back many times. Horses - Okay, I just talked about depth. I find myself hearing bits of Boudamchou here and there throughout my waking hours. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. You can find feelings on this piece of art. The Man Hunts is really a nice song to relax and listen too. When listening to The Camel Walk, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. In Hunting The Witch it becomes nowhere more obvious that John McLaughlin has yet to define own style. The Boy Walks is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. In Melody you won’t find any flashy solos. Molom couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track The Dream Of The Boy. The Boy Cries gets you up and jumping. The song Traditional Song ending is my favorite… so catchy! Introducing The Boy To The Monk is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. The Boy Leaves is the funkiest number on the album. This track is clearly meant to showcase John McLaughlin’s vocal abilities. Molom Theme Song End is a medium tempo tune.
