The album features Allan on guitar and SynthAxe. This album introduced a new band: [[Dave Carpenter]] and [[Gary Novak]], plus a new sound: This time, it was Allan’s own tunes, but with a softer, jazzier feel. Carpenter played acoustic bass for the majority of the album, and Novak followed up. Perhaps due to the band feeling, as well as what seemed like new inspiration, it is often seen as one of Allan’s best albums. The title track and “The Drums Were Yellow” stand out as guitar statements, while “Above And Below” is one of the defintive Holdsworth chord melody ballads. This album has also been released in a new edition with the added tracks "San Onofre" and "Material Unreal", which is the version currently available on Manifesto. | ||

AH: Well yeah, there’s a ballad on '''16 Men''' that there’s nothing offensive about the track and could even be played on a smooth jazz station, really. Too many people are telling the public what they are going to like. | AH: Well yeah, there’s a ballad on '''16 Men''' that there’s nothing offensive about the track and could even be played on a smooth jazz station, really.
