...year-old Winwood's most recent effort is Go, a strange and spacey album that combines elements from electronic music, jazz, classical music, reggae, salsa, and just the slightest touch of rock and roll. Recorded with Japanese avant-garde composer and percussionist Stomu Yamashta and former Santana guitarist Michael Shrieve. Go is an extraordinarily innovative work which demands more than casual listening. Yet the heavy emphasis on electronic music--the sounds of synthesizers and the electronic instrumental effects throughout--make listening a bizarre, somewhat alienating experience...
...SCRIPT IS full of comic routines and caustic one-liners. Humor is the basis of the characters' lives, providing them with accurate insight and comfortable escape. Norman, the straight mathematician, and Shelley, his spacey girlfriend, are clearly self-parodies. Mike and Cootie, a Rosenkrantz-and-Guildenstern type duo, are careful, conscious performers.

Allison is a cerebral and somewhat spacey jazzman, well-thought-of by the real cognoscenti...
...after Bird died picked up a few proteges of his own--people like Max Roach, Herbie Hancock and John Coltrane were all in his band at one time. Miles went from hot to cool, and then in the late 60s back to hot again, and now his music is spacey and heavily rock-influenced. But be forewarned: rumor has it that he plays only a very short show for a long five dollars a head in admission price...
