Allan Holdsworth was a musician's musician, a gentle, down-to-earth guitarist whose virtuoso legato and chording gave rise to a greatness I've loved and admired for many years.

Sometimes I forget what a great early hardrock album this is. Listened to it two times in a row.

There are so many insights in this video, detailing the last years of Allan Holdsworth. Painful at times, but painting a clear picture of the troubles of, in my opinion, the greatest guitar player ever.

Percussion driven jazzrock from (Pierre Moerlen's) Gong. Besides 70's Zappa's Mothers I cannot think of another band where marimba, xylophone etc. get to shine this much. And then some Holdsworth guitar on top.

Gong - Expresso II

(1978 Japan, Virgin VIP-6913)

Allan Holdsworth showcasing the synthaxe, but besides that a classic in his oeuvre. Non Brewed Condiment, Atavachron, Funnels, Looking Glass: wow.

Allan Holdsworth - Atavachron

(1986 – Canada, Enigma Canada – ST-73203)

This one ranks high in my desert island disk list. 70's British jazzrock is really undervalued compared to US bands from the time. And Allan Holdsworth is on 🔥!

Soft Machine - Bundles

(1975 – EMI – EMS-80222)
