Expresso II (album)
From Allan Holdsworth Information Center
"Expresso II" is a 1978 album by Gong, that features Allan on guitar on four tracks. Allan plays the riffs for “Heavy Tune”, but sadly for his fans, Mick Taylor plays the solo. Allan solos on “Sleepy”, and does some unusual harmonized lines. “Soli” has some Allan melody lines and a long, groovy solo that increases in intensity. Allan even returns for the outro solo. Allan appears uncredited on “Three Blind Mice”, playing a short solo and some wild harmonized melody lines.
