Metal Fatigue" is an album by Allan Holdsworth released on the Enigma label in the United States. It was a departure from his previous work with Warner Brothers due to their indecision about producing another album. The recording process involved different lineups of musicians for different tracks. Holdsworth experimented with synthesizers during the album's creation, leading to a shift in musical style and a desire for more instrumental music. The album also introduced the SynthAxe. Despite challenges with record companies, Holdsworth's move to Enigma Records allowed for more creative freedom. "Metal Fatigue" featured notable tracks like "Devil Take the Hindmost" and "The Un-Merry-Go-Round." Holdsworth's artistic inspiration and personal connections contributed to the album's unique elements, including a soprano sax-like guitar solo. | |||
