ATAVACHRON

Owl could not be more wrong. "Atavachron" is a masterpiece from beginning to end, every bit as strong as "Metal Fatigue." Holdsworth use of the synth axe was truly revolutionary, showing the world just how cool guitar synths could be. I concede that the album has not quite held up as well over time as some other H efforts, but it still sounds great. And when the album came out in 1986, there was nothing better. A landmark album that should be in every guitar player and proghead's musical collection. Highly recommended.
