[[File:Fastimpressions.jpeg|200px|right]]"Fast Impressions" is a 1986 album by [[Jon St. James]]. This album is different to “Transatlantic”, as the music is still heavily sequenced, but all instrumental in a curious pop/new age vein, with lots of guest performers. Allan plays a nice melody and solo on “Rainy Taxi”, plus he appears on “Fast Impressions”. He also received co-writing credits | [[File:Fastimpressions.jpeg|200px|right]]"Fast Impressions" is a 1986 album by [[Jon St. James]].

...As far as pop music goes Allan had a great opportunity with the band UK but he and Bruford wanted to go on much more progressive direction. Wetton I think was into the rock$tar thing so Allan bowed out. He would’ve been creatively stifled. | ...As far as pop music goes Allan had a great opportunity with the band UK but he and Bruford wanted to go on much more progressive direction.
