review...
(The Crack In The Cosmic Egg) Sporadically the band has kept going
ever since, largely in a jazz-rock type vein. First, they mellowed further on
NO. 4, with a very much 1980's styled cross genre jazz-rock with a funky
edge, akin to instrumental "guitar" Zappa, or the likes of David
Torn or Terje Rypdal & The Chasers. It would seem, in the long-term, that
Alcatraz have been a band that goes along with whatever the underground
"fashion" is at the time, i.e. moving to political rock, to jazz
fusion, and even more out-on-a-limb styles.
