Downwind is excellent. Kudos once more for digging out videos for all these!

Continental Circus! A modeled paint graduates with a seat toe and a wombat misprint.

Unquestionably Downwind, for having Mike Oldfield, Ross Record, and Didier Lockwood as guests (among others).

While I am a big Allan Holdsworth fan, I've always felt I.O.U. is somewhat overrated. Not that it's bad, but simply that I greatly prefer so many of his other albums.

I.O.U. of course. One of my favorite Holdsworth albums. Saw Allan do this material live with Paul, Jimmy, and Chad. It was a spiritual event.

Maybe not an essential album, but I'm quite fond of Continental Circus. Motivation Radio is alright as well. Now is the Happiest Time of Your Life has it's moments.
