Electric Dreams (John McLaughlin album)

Electric Dreams is the six solo album by English jazz guitarist John McLaughlin and his "One Truth Band", released in 1978. Between his fourth and fifth solo album he spent several years active with the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

While performing with Miles Davis, Davis had titled a song on the album Bitches Brew after McLaughlin. McLaughlin returns the favor here, naming a song "Miles Davis".
