Windows of Heaven is Jefferson Starship's first studio album since reforming in 1992 and ninth album overall. It was first released in Germany, but the band told fans to wait for a new American remixed version. The single "Let Me Fly" was released along with the American release, but did not chart on the Billboard charts. Grace Slick joined the band in the studio to record vocals on "I'm on Fire," which only appears on the American and Japanese versions. The track "Maybe for You" later reappeared on the 2008 album, Jefferson's Tree of Liberty.
This was sort of like Jefferson Starship "The Next Gen" except it was Kantner, Balin, and Casady surrounded by a host of newer players. A BIG rambling record reminiscent of Meatloaf circa 1993, with lots of unfocused sociopolitical baggage and moribund hippie-style love ballads. Slick has background vocals on one track but not like anyone can tell. I sure couldn't.
