=Summary of quotes on "Wardenclyffe Tower"=
“Wardenclyffe” blends guitar and SynthAxe, but leans more on guitar. The music is quite dense, with long tunes and extended solos. “Against the clock” would be the last vocal track on a Holdsworth album. Jimmy Johnson, Chad Wackerman and Steve Hunt are the core band, with important contributions from Gary Husband.
Allan Holdsworth discussed his album "Wardenclyffe Tower" in various interviews. He mentioned his affinity for certain equipment, particularly Mesa Boogie gear.
