Proto-Cosmos (live album)

From Allan Holdsworth Information Center

Proto-Cosmos is a live album by Holdsworth, Pasqua, Haslip, Wackerman. The album was released to streaming platforms on October 2022. According to our sources, the album was culled from recordings made during the filming of the DVD "Live At Yoshi's" in 2006. Some of the takes here are the same as the DVD, while others are previously unreleased. If you compare the DVD and this album, you will find that some tracks have in fact been spliced together from different solos.
