It does not sound so unfamiliar to me... have a feeling I heard it here in various ways... a long time ago.

Loved that album. And here's a comment from the YouTube page:

When I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra perform this piece I had no idea who John McLaughlin was, or Narada Michael Walden, or Billy Cobham, or Jean Luc Ponty. My jaw dropped & I forgot to smoke my weed!

Cool, I'll have a listen to this afterwards. I've only heard their first two albums.

Mebbe they hold onto it for 18 minutes.

It’s conceivable that that collection of pitches may “work” if the -9 two or more octaves away from the root, but otherwise the m7-9 chord is not a good sounding collection of intervals.
