 Rating:  - The Lost "Pink Floyd" AlbumI have Go and Go Live on vinyl. Many years ago a good friend and Stevie Winwood fanatic turned me on to this album. To me it's like the "Lost Pink Floyd" album. Like the sequel to "Dark Side of the Moon." It's every bit as spacey and every bit as well composed and well played (Maybe even better). I have yet to pick up the complete Go Sessions, but will as soon as the budget allows. I just listened to the LP's the other night after not hearing them in years. They hold up well. This is a "band" ... Read More Rating: - Electronic music with a touch of classicalThis is a recording by an ultra bunch of genius in a very rare occassion. Don't know how to describe the music though, but thoroughly enjoy all of them. Rating: - Ahead of it's timeI bought this album on vinyl in the late 70s while in college. Yamashta's beautiful synths and thundering percussion meld perfectly with Winwood's crystal clear voice to create a modern fusion masterpiece. A who's who of late 70s music contributes to this masterpiece. Is it jazz? Pop? Ambient? Classical? You be the judge. Rejoice that this is now available in all it's CD glory! Rating:  - Complete Go SessionsAlthough I recognise how brilliant these musicians are,I found most of it heavy going and very technical. Rating: - Very Good I bought the original GO and GO TOO brand new on LP Vinyl many years ago unfortunate couldn't find the Live in Paris version and the GO sesions on CD till now all in one and only if it was digitally recorded I would give it 5/5 so if your into jazzrock fusion and like Aldi Meola's guitar playing as much as I do is worth buying recommended . |
