CD Fan Review
The
guitar great finally catches up with the decade he was born for, with
synthesizer sounds aplenty both played by keyboardist Alan Pasqua and
triggered by Allan Holdsworth through his guitar controller.
The
result is Holdsworth's first truly slick, high-tech, state-of-the-art
album, providing a perfect sonic launch pad for his fretboard flights
of fancy.
In
addition to the instrumental tunes, the record also includes
Holdsworth's best rock vocal tracks, with lead turns by singers Paul
Williams and Paul Kordo. The songs would have been right at home on
1980s radio and MTV and still sound awesome today.
Together
with bassists Jimmy Johnson and Gary Willis and drummers Chad
Wackerman, Gary Husband, and Mac Hine, Holdsworth creates music
unlike any other before or since.
