Reception In a review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann wrote: "Bluiett holds down the rhythm and the bottom, allowing fellow founding member David Murray and his compatriots to take off... Like competing ghosts of John Coltrane, they sometimes achieve near cacophony in spots, occasionally seeming to imitate the sound of a herd of angry elephants... World Saxophone Quartet is always a challenging listen... but the results can be exhilarating, and they seem to be to the enthusiastic audience that whoops and hollers at this show." Bill Milkowski, writing for ''Jazz Times'', stated: "In this two-tenor onslaught, Murray ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

"Yes We Can Can" was one of the first tracks the group cut in fall 1972 for their debut album. Its basic track was recorded at Pacific Recording Studio in San Francisco. The sessions were eventually moved to Studio A of Wally Heider Recording Studio in San Francisco, and Rubinson is unclear as to whether or not further recording for "Yes We Can Can" was done there.

Yes We Can (Made In Mexico Song) ''Guitar Hero II'' is a music video game developed by Harmonix and distributed by RedOctane, and is a sequel to ''Guitar Hero''. The game was released first to PlayStation 2 in 2006 but later released for the Xbox 360 in 2007. ''Guitar Hero II'' challenges players to recreate the lead guitar portions of many rock music songs using a specially designed guitar-shaped controller, based on either a Gibson SG for the PlayStation 2 version, a Gibson Explorer for the Xbox 360 version, or else a standard console controller. As notes scroll down the screen towards the player, the player must hit both the fret buttons on the guitar controller and the strum bar at the same time to successfully hit the notes. Successfully hitting notes improves the player's performance in the game and also raises their score, while missing notes will reduce the player's performance, and a poor performance may end the song prematurely. Each song can be played at one of four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] |
