Anticipation was running high for the follow-up, which was released the year after, following a dramatically stripped down Japan-only release, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDedication\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrust\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was released in 1974, featuring much of the same lineup behind \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHead Hunters\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, save for percussionist Mike Clark replacing Harvey Mason on drums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCritical opinions were markedly positive for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrust\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which was deemed an incredibly worthy follow-up to the game-changing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHead Hunters\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Like its predecessor it featured four tracks of quality jazz-funk performed across nearly 40 minutes. Hancock's backing band the Headhunters sound as drum-tight as before, with the addition of Mike Clark adding a distinctly groovier sound to the proceedings, and Hancock's newly acquired ARP Synthesizer adding a glossy sheen. (And an early look at the techno experimentation he'd undertake in the 1980s.) Regularly overshadowed by Head Hunters, but not one to sleep on, whether a fan of Herbie Hancock or jazz in general, fusion or otherwise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39326179524663,"sku":"706091814815","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/hivoltagerecords.com\/products\/herbie-hancock-thrust-lp-new","provider":"Hi-Voltage Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
