Allan’s solo section is somewhat avantgarde harmonically. Allan plays a somewhat uninspired solo on the fusion vamp “Esnuria Two”, which uses a pitch shifter for an unusual steel drum type sound. Allan is credited with lead guitar on “Time Is The Key”, but is not audible on the track. Overall, these two tracks are not nearly as inspired as anything on the "Gazeuse" album.
