“Hard Hat Area” features just one band: Gary, Steve, and new bassist Skuli Sverrison, who toured prior to recording, so there’s a sense of cohesion not heard since since “IOU”. The music is dense, long tracks and long solos, but at the same time uplifting in rare sense for a Holdsworth record. Mostly guitar, plus a little SynthAxe, especially on the title track.
