Jazz Fusion? or Jazz(psychedelics influenced) Fusion?
 
Confluence-Chroniques Terrestres(1979), Pataphonie-Le Matin Blanc(1979), Le Grand Nebuleux-Les pirates du cortex(1978) & Plat du Jour-s/t(1977)  are good examples of Progressive Fusion just from 70's France. Sometimes playing straight jazz fusion and sometimes opting for total chaos. Embarrassed

Transit Express-Opus progressif(1976) could also be included. Sadly only one of the afore mentioned bands is listed in the PROGsemiARCHIVES.Confused

ohhh....I get it. You are taking the first 2 letters of fusion and putting them together with the last 2 letters of Jazz to make Fuzz. That sounds like a great idea, but you are leaving rock out of it. Poor rock.

I know, instead let's do the same thing with the last 2 letters of rock instead and call it Fu....uh...oh,maybe your idea is better.Embarrassed

Have it, very Zappa/Holdsworth influenced. SIC he really does his own thing. Improvision  is currently on a UPS truck somewhere on its way to me. Clap
 
No argument wrt Holdsworth/zappa - a number of reviewers stated the album smacked of the Ruth Underwood period Mothers fronted by Holdsworth (including me), which propelled Alex into avoiding the Holdsworthian stuff on subsequent recordings (unlike a number of other Holdsworthian guitarists I could mention). It inevitably with the two albums done with Terry Bozzio (Delete & Roll and [sic]) that he hasn't completely escaped the dense Zappareque polyrhythms. Improvisation was one of my favourites last year - I believe Abstract Logix may have follow up,  although in the meanwhile they have issued a live recording of Alex (as MP3s) recently and recorded earlier this year


Despite the number of guys out there that can be considered Holdsworth clones, I still really dig the warmth of that type of solo (I have been trying for years to get that tone out of my guitars).  That tone works with just about any genre for soloing. 

Featuring Ourselves is still my favorite of the 2 I have. Though my jaw still drops every time I hear the wickedly fast harmonics on the opening number of SIC.  From the clips I have heard of Improvision, I think it well get some heavy play when it gets here.
