 Fusion Lovers Dream August 9, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I got this Cd over a recomendation of a friend of mine who told me it was very good and with that line up I was very curious about it. Al Dimeola who needs no introduction, Steve Winwood from Traffic, German Electronica pioneer Klaus Schulze (Cosmic Jokers, Tangerine Dream), Ex Santana's drummer Michael Shrieve contributes with Stomu Yamashta in this really mind blowing Space/Fusion/Jazz/Rock stravaganza that makes this CD a must. Highly recommended

For all of you who cannot grasp the sure sensationality of this, think again....Okay, maybe the re-production of this may not be up to speed, but you must rememeber this was done before most of you were born and without saying, one of the most brilliant recordings ever done. Then, we have a super-house of compositions into the world of some very far-reaching sonic excursions not heard since 1976. I have the vinyls, all of them, and with out doubt, this is sensational recorded history of one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken with a host of legendary composers, notwithstanding, a brilliant spread of musical tapestry not found often in the world of contempory music and Al DiMeola delivers a myriad of tasty guitar solo's that would make Jimi Hendrix roll over in his grave... So, when I tell you this should be in your CD collection, make it so, if not, then find something else better to listen to............highly recommended

A Steve Winwood collection isn't complete without these classic tracks. Anyone who bought the Finer Things boxed set was shocked to learn that the album that Crossing The Line (live) came from was not available on CD. Now, not only is Go Live From Paris here but the original Go studio album and Go Too.
These remastered space jams and classic rock better than ever. The only annoying thing here is that the songs on Go [studio] and Go Live In Paris aren't separated. For example: album side one (7 tracks) is clumped together as track 1 on the CD.

 I Beg To Differ... August 2, 2005

I have to disagree w/ the previous reviewer regarding the "bad news" part of this release.While the sound quality of the live recordings is not comparable to that of the studio tracks, it's nowhere as bad as "a scratchy bootleg LP " I will admit that I've never heard the original vinyl of "Go Live In Paris" so I can't compare it but, to my ears this release doesn't sound any worse than many official ( major label) live recordings of the same time period. The only bad news concerning this release ( for me ) is "Go Too " This is not due to anything Raven has done w/ this particular release ( like mastering or mixing ) but, rather because the music on this 2nd album just happens to be awful and bears no resemblance to the first album. But this is a small gripe considering how easy it is to push the "stop" button on my CD player.The "Go" & "Go Live.." material is beautiful.And it's nice to hear these tracks in the order that they were intended to be played (as they are presented live ).All in all it's a treat to have this stuff available on CD finally so, enjoy !
Good news - bad news !! May 30, 2005

First the good one : The holy grail of many progressive rock fans is available on cd now. Fantastic music, great players !!
Now the bad news : There has not been any remastering. The sound of Go and Go Too is quite OK, but the audio quality of Live from Paris is horrible, quite like a seventies bootleg. Sounds like it is copied from an old, scratchy LP !
Why that ? What about the original tapes ? Shame on raven !!
