Hi Guys — I am the co-executive producer of these albums and put the original agreement together with Chris Blackwell the president of Island records while negotiating a separate agreement for the Automatic Man band contract which I co-produced and co-wrote with the band. Yes that is Pat Thrall the lead git from Automatic Man (not Al Di Meola) playing the amazing solo here on the GO project.

My re-appraisal of the GO sessions today is that both studio & live albums were spotty-- some brilliant moments alongside some unfortunate dreamy-kozmic synth stuff. But the playing rose to some great heights. Shrieve did some monster drumming and DiMeola played some great guitar. Steve W was at his height on these tunes. And the backup singers were something else. The Live album-- at least the side with "Crossing" and "Leo"-- is the best of the bunch.

This album deeply touched me and I think it's my favorite of all time. I like the dreamy and powerful feeling of this music and the story. Everything on this album is perfect and hearing it brings me back to a long-lost time of my life that is very dear.

Just because synth was not considered good or important does not lessen the great power of this music; it still stands as a testament to Progressive rock and roll & personally I LOVE Klaus Schulze on this album. I feel the producer's comments here are peremptory & possibly a bit "anti-synth" for anyone that really understands what Klaus did & it's in-your-face quality. I love it !

Could be my all time favorite album. I've listened to it at least once every year since its release in 76.

Pat told me that he was basically just playing along with the track and afterward he saw Winwood and Stomu in the control room jumping around with excitement over what he had just played. Of course, you can hear how some of the string parts were arranged around what Pat played.
