ROAD GAMES

I was familiar with Holdsworth in Machine and UK and Tempest and thought of him as a super guitarist but had never listened to his solo stuff. I recently heard this one but with a different cover and chose that one because otf the guests J Bruce and P Williams. Alas , deception was around the corner because this was rather unexpected calm fusion all melted into some sort of soup. I fast forwarded throughout the whole album and never found a great momentbut not finding it displeasing . Had this album come out on the great German label ECM, this would have been apropriate , but I would still prefer Pat Metheny, John Surman , Terje Rypdal or Steve Tibbetts. I am not condemning Holdsworth and maybe i fell onto a weaker album.
