Mahavishnu is an album by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, released in 1984 by Warner Bros. Records. In 1980's, McLaughlin reformed the Mahavishnu Orchestra for release of the two albums Mahavishnu and Adventures in Radioland. This band's overall sound was radically different from the original Mahavishnu Orchestra, in particular because of McLaughlin's extensive use of the Synclavier synthesiser system.
