Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Tom Ruff (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).

Despite its rather silly sci-fi cover, 1974's THRUST is a top-tier album by composer/keyboardist Herbie Hancock. On this excellent follow-up to the legendary HEADHUNTERS, Hancock lays into some seriously deep grooves on his Fender Rhodes, and is backed by many of the same musicians from HEADHUNTERS, including bassist Paul Jackson and woodwind master Bennie Maupin.

The opening track, "Palm Grease," is a slick future-funk workout that breaks down into highly percussive passages, while "Actual Proof" coasts along on Hancock's bright melodies, which are enhanced by Jackson's burbling bass lines and Maupin's deft, breezy alto-flute playing. Of the four lengthy pieces that make up THRUST, "Butterfly" stands out as the disc's most reflective track, with Hancock taking his typically frenetic jazz fusion sound into surprisingly delicate and lyrical territory. While this outing will always be overshadowed by HEADHUNTERS, it remains one of Hancock's finest releases and is essential for fans of '70s funk-laden jazz.

This 1974 follow-up to Head Hunters is a treasure trove of early grooves and super-funky rhythms. Includes Palm Grease; Actual Proof; Butterfly , and Spank-a-Lee , with new liner notes by drummer Mike Clarke. First time on CD in the U.S.!

Recorded at Wally Heider Studios, San Francisco, California in 1974. Includes liner notes by Mike Clarke.

Reissue producer: Bob Belden.

Personnel: Herbie Hancock (Fender Rhodes piano, Clavinet, synthesizer); Bennie Maupin (soprano & tenor saxophones, saxello, alto flute, bass clarinet); Paul Jackson (electric bass); Mike Clarke (drums); Bill Summers (percussion).

Producers: David Rubinson, Herbie Hancock.

Rolling Stone (9/3/98, p.102) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...(drummer Mike) Clark and bassist Paul Jackson are a two-headed computer disgorging off-kilter but irresistibly fat-bottomed licks; Hancock's Fender Rhodes and Bennie Maupin's reeds...dance on the ceiling....a great album: brave, risky music making..."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Genius at play
Tell me something! Is this one of the top five fusion albums of all time or what? This is just plain tight.

5 stars Phenomenal Work
Fresh to the day, Thrust is brilliant. Excellent compositions, great soloing, etc. But more than that, you can lose yourself in this album, the songs pull you in and won't let go. What a crying shame that work of this quality is nearly impossible to find today.

5 stars TRUST
Trust me, if you thing HH was good, take a listen to the groovy, complex, cincapated stylings of the follw-on to Head Hunters. Thrust hooks you righ away with a great mike clark two bar drum beat. It IS in 4-4 by the way, just crazy accents that make you wanna dance and at the same time make you say, "wait, hit that rewind button."
