Finally got it. More proggy then I expected. Allan plays some wild solos. Too bad they used e-drums. That seems to be the only thing lacking. Many more listens required. |

Received a copy of Sonic Undertow from Chris Hoard himself - he also supplied a white label burn of Alternity Records for my radio show ( - I hope you heard a couple of tracks from this last night during my first broadcast of the season). Holdsworth is on a number of tracks of Sonic Undertow, and I feel sounding looser than he has on a lot of the recent straight jazz albums. I'm sure he enjoys the challenge of any new form of music he's involved with (here tracks of hiphop) but at the same time the newness brings forth a great degree of extrovert playing - the Neverwasneverwillbe demos that Mark Gleed sent fans, have a similar feel. And Mark can be heard on Jurassic (sp) City with Hoard and Holdsworth.
The white label special includes outtakes and forthcoming releases from Alternity Records - including an early demo by Riptyde, something from the forthcoming Best Of Allan Holdsworth album that has not seen the light before, a track from Neverwasneverwillbe, and what I call electronic dance from Simeon Harris, called Roswell. The last piece, strongly reminded me of Paul Hardcastle's 19 but still most enjoyable - here verses made up from a sampled newscaster announcement, about a "missile" being found at Roswell at the end of the 40's. |

Simeon Harris is awesome. He's a regular at the AH forum and he posts quite a bit of his own stuff. I have heard Roswell. Great music. I think I have one whole CD of Simeon's stuff. Tre-talented. My only regret on the Riptyde project is the sound of the drumming. Time Off in Tannu Tuva and the Forgotten Planet Suite are the most interesting tracks to me. The rap or hip tunes sounded too forced to actually feel genuine. Do you think Riptyde should eb included in the Archive? It's about one third to half Prog, IMO. "BEST of" is on my list for immediate purchase. ha |
