Hearing album tracks in their intended order

In today's era of purchasing individual songs more frequently than entire albums, the effect of hearing a great flow between songs on an album sometimes gets lost.  One triple play that needs to be heard in its original order falls on the "Where Have I Known You Before" album by Return To Forever featuring Chick Corea.  The second through fourth tracks on side one form a captivating, keyboard-anchored fusion trilogy.  Chick Corea's short solo piano composition, "Where Have I Loved You Before," is an effective prelude to drummer Lenny White's piece, "The Shadow Of Lo."  "The Shadow Of Lo" continues the theme that Corea starts in "Where...," switching it from piano to keyboard, and provides over seven minutes of spacy jamming from guitarist Al di Meola, bassist Stanley Clarke, White, and Corea.  The next piece, which Corea wrote, is "Where Have I Danced With You Before."  This fast solo piano piece is an effective bookend, and its last, slower measures punctuate the triple play with a definitive ending.  Although some songs on other albums can be heard in any order, these three tracks need to be heard in their original sequence; the effect is compromised otherwise.
