In 1976, Allan Holdsworth played an important role in the album "Bundles" by Soft Machine, where he delivered two remarkable guitar solos. The first of these solos was featured on the track "Hazard Profile, Pt. II." This solo displayed Holdsworth's exceptional speed and smooth technique. Unlike some other guitarists, his notes flowed smoothly, and the solo was characterized by a recurring three-note pattern that set the rhythm. The solo included various elements such as modes with chromatically altered notes, dissonances, and even occasional blues licks. Holdsworth seamlessly navigated through the changing harmonies, at one point altering two notes in a repeating line to match the evolving harmony beneath. The solo was dynamic, building tension before each change in the accompaniment.

Holdsworth also contributed to the title track of the album, "Bundles," which led into the song "Land Of The Bag Snake." In "Land Of The Bag Snake," a repeated sixteen-measure chorus underwent four changes, and Holdsworth's guitar solo added to the tension by anticipating and executing these changes effectively.
