The Mahavishnu Orchestra’s The Inner Mounting Flame (1971) was the first album which totally captured the power of hard rock and the freewheeling improvisational aspects of jazz.

The sound is loud, raw, and dangerous. Melodies and rhythms like had never been heard before. The distortion and the loudness could be insulting, and the speed of the playing was mind-numbing.
 
One of the greatest jazz-fusion recordings ever made.
