Allan Holdsworth - reaching the notes other guitarists don't

The list author says:
	"Saw this lineup at the Rainbow in 74 - my jaw fell off when I saw this awesome new guitarist"

The list author says:
	"I used to have this - Allan's first solo project.  Unfortunately he got screwed over it so it has bitter memories for him."

The list author says:
	"Then Allan turned up on this, Ponty's only consistently amazing album, my firm favourite for much of the late 70's."

The list author says:
	"Another blinder.  Several of the Velvet Darkness tracks get the expansive Gong treatment."

The list author says:
	"Only discovered this relatively recently as it was released when punk took over the world and I went back to Britten and Tippett."

The list author says:
	"My Favourite AH solo album.  Wonderful, untranscribable compositions with gorgeous interplay between all four musicians."

The list author says:
	"Another awesome solo album - homage to Nikola Tesla."

The list author says:
	"And this, though just a little too short to give full satisfaction."

The list author says:
	"Found this in a second hand shop in Liverpool.  Allan slates it cos it was released without consulting him but I think it's magnificent.  Lifesaver on very long drives."

The list author says:
	"Allan's first album after IOU.  Many IOU songs but done Allan's way."

The list author says:
	"Another masterpiece."

The list author says:
	"A masterpiece despite interference in the production."

The list author says:
	"Not so hot compositionally (IMHO) bust still mind boggling guitar playing."

The list author says:
	"Allan and pianist Gordon Beck cover jazz standards.  Brilliant."

The list author says:
	"The 'official' IOU band live album."

The list author says:
	"Drums a bit high in this live mix but still must have."

The list author says:
	"Another wonderful live album."

The list author says:
	"Very interesting.  Dancy, dubby, d'n'b ambient album constructed around a set of AH guitar solos recorded several years before."

The list author says:
	"Incredible live DVD.  Most recent and new favourite Holdsworth artifact."
