Teitelbaum, who has performed with Anthony Braxton as well as with his own electronic group, Musica Elettronica Viva, contributes lean, sensitive synthesizer work that is quite compatible with the suite's carefully structured textures and its theme of relentless exploration and discovery. Jenkins likes the futuristic associations of his oblique song title, and also "the poetic aspect, the way it can be said. 'Space Minds, New Worlds Survival of America.' It has a certain rhythm...
...same visual excess and garish romanticism as the oldtime Technicolor backstage sagas. When Rose gets into a yelling match with her manager (a somewhat forlorn Alan Bates) or plays in bed with her pickup of a lover (a frisky, sexy Frederic Forrest), the closeups are steamy and relentless.

"That's how much we respected Harvard's offense with Burke St. John in there. We didn't find out until late in the game how we could stop their passing with the blitz...
