I like it. Accessible fusion. Smooth.

I have mixed feelings about Holdsworth. He was a stunning musician but too often he widdled at extreme high speed just because he could. Amazing legato technique but I don't think it always serves the music well and that's the case too often here.

There are some interesting vocal performances as well, with a singer called Rowanne Mark providing Julie-Andrews-esque snippets on the title track.

Bought Zappa's Imaginary Diseases, one of many posthumous releases and really good.

Holdsworth is obviously a brilliant guitarist, not heard much but often think I should buy more. My favourite album with him on is Soft Machine -Bundles, and he fits in with their sound rally well. John Etheridge took over from him on the next SM album and he did a brilliant job. I like the idea of him AH playing in Level 42, their is a YouTube video of it....without any video!

Slim · March 31, 2022, 06:07:15 PM

I really like Level 42. Mark King came to the view that although he was an amazing player, he wasn't right for the band. There's a very interesting interview with Jakko Jakszyk in which he talks about meeting Holdsworth and being mentored by him. He went on to replace him in that band.

Just found it, here: about 32 mins in.

Steppenwolf Live

(Part of a 3 for a quid at the British Heart Foundation in town 👍

The other 2 were the Clash - the Singles and Change Everything by Del Amitri, which, as I already own a couple of copies, I've given to a girl I fancy - I sure know how to spoil the ladies, do I not? 😁)
