[[File:Truthinshredding.jpg|200px]]"Truth In Shredding" is a 1990 album credited to MVP, which could stand for "Most Valuable Player", but in this context nominally stands for "Mark Varney Project". Mark Varney created this project for his record label "Legato". Mark is the brother of Shrapnel Records owner Mike Varney. In practice, this is a project meant to highlight the collaboration between Allan and Australian guitarist Frank Gambale. Gambale led the tracking sessions, while Allan overdubbed his solos in his home studio. Allan is featured as a soloist on every tune, alternating between playing the guitar and the SynthAxe. The music is high energy jazz-rock. Most of the tunes are covers of well known tunes by Mike and Randy Brecker, Chick Corea, and Wayne Shorter, while Gambale supplied one original tune.
[[File:1972 iancarr belladonna.jpg|right|200px]]"Belladonna" is a 1972 album by English jazz musician [[Ian Carr]], that features Allan on guitar. It is sometimes credited to Nucleus, which was Carr's band, where a lot of talented musicians passed through. Allan recorded this album soon after moving to London in 1972. His style was still in formation. Here, he mostly plays fairly traditional rhythm guitar and fills throughout, even experimenting with a wah-wah pedal in places. He notably plays a blistering solo on the track Hector’s House. His style is recognizable, but still raw. His sound is also raw, a far cry from the sophisticated use of distortion that he would come to gain recognition for. The music is “proto-fusion”, and the band lineup includes Gordon Beck and Roy Babbington. The album was produced by Jon Hiseman, who would go on to recruit Allan for the band [[Tempest]].

Revision as of 10:06, 29 October 2023

"Belladonna" is a 1972 album by English jazz musician Ian Carr, that features Allan on guitar. It is sometimes credited to Nucleus, which was Carr's band, where a lot of talented musicians passed through. Allan recorded this album soon after moving to London in 1972. His style was still in formation. Here, he mostly plays fairly traditional rhythm guitar and fills throughout, even experimenting with a wah-wah pedal in places. He notably plays a blistering solo on the track Hector’s House. His style is recognizable, but still raw. His sound is also raw, a far cry from the sophisticated use of distortion that he would come to gain recognition for. The music is “proto-fusion”, and the band lineup includes Gordon Beck and Roy Babbington. The album was produced by Jon Hiseman, who would go on to recruit Allan for the band Tempest.
