The composition "Actual Proof" was originally written for the film The Spook Who Sat By the Door, and Hancock has used it as a demonstration of his style of playing the Fender Rhodes piano.[2]

The composition "Butterfly" would subsequently be performed on the live album, Flood, and two more studio releases: Direct Step and Dis Is Da Drum. Butterfly also features on the Eddie Henderson album Mahal(1978), which Herbie features on.

"Spank-A-Lee" (Hancock, Mike Clark, Paul Jackson) – 7:12

Personnel[edit]

 
Again, there are only four long tracks, three of which ("Palm Grease," "Actual Proof," "Spank-A-Lee") concentrate on the funk
 "Butterfly," a match for any tune he's written before or since, with shimmering synth textures and Bennie Maupin soaring on soprano (Hancock would re-record it 20 years later on Dis Is Da Drum, but this is the one to hear). 

 

試聽Herbie Hancock的「Thrust」專輯,面對這種特別強調低音節奏的音樂,我發現我的Ayre參考擴大機推力似乎有所不足,低頻暫態變得不夠明快,音樂的節奏感變得過於委靡鬆散。為此我特地向代理商借來Electrocompaniet的EC4.7前級與AW180後級,funk節奏躍動的groove韻味果然活了過來,擊鼓衝擊力強勁,電貝斯撥奏也顯得彈跳快活,這才是這張專輯應有的表現。可見加入Submonitor後,擴大機還是必須具備一定實力,才能完全驅動這套喇叭系統。

Modern life and jazz groove are strongly connected. On this album the word "jazz" is emphasized. 
"Spank-A-Lee" is related to "Palm Grease." The phrase that describes this track would be "groove, groove, and more groove."
 
At 11 minutes plus, “Butterfly” was always my favorite song on Thrust. It is nowhere near as R&B oriented as the rest of the record, but sometimes a change of pace is in order. This is a languid tune, with plenty of room for the quintet to stretch out in understated improvisation. Four years later, Steely Dan would use “Butterfly” as a blueprint of sorts for Aja. In the Eighties this sound would come to be known as “Quiet Storm.” Over the years, “Butterfly” has remained an extremely influential piece of music.
 

From drummer Mike Clark's 1997 liner notes:

'Let me say here, when people the world over think of theHeadhunters, they think of Paul Jackson's revolutionary bass-playing. He introduced an entirely new sound to the music, which is recognized and emulated to this day.'

There are four extended length tracks on Thrust and each one take the listener on a journey. 'Palm Grease' starts the proceedings with one of the most imitated bass and drum grooves from the 1970's. It was composed by Hancock, 'around a groove that Paul and I were playing at a sound check on the road' according to Clarke's liner notes. 'Actual Proof''s insistent bass ostinato is classic Jackson. It was recorded in one take, hence the name. The beautiful Hancock ballad 'Butterfly' never gets too sleepy, as Clarke and Jackson launch into a funky double time around the 7:00 mark. The Tower of Power-esque 'Spank-A-Lee' closes the LP. It sounds like Jackson and Rocco Prestia attended the same school of 1970's fingerstyle funk!

The bone-dry production takes the listener back to a time when the music was all that mattered. Dust this one off if you haven't listened in a while, or try to find it at your local record store. Like a lot of music from this time period, this LP is best experienced in its entirety!

Thrust was released in 1974 and served as a follow up to Hancock's album, Head Hunters. Personally, I prefer Thrust over Head Hunters as there is more flow to this album.
