[[File:Heavymachinery.jpeg|200px|right]]"Heavy Machinery" is a 1996 album credited to [[Anders Johansson, Jens Johansson & Allan Holdsworth]]. On the album, Allan is featured as a main artist along with the Johansson brothers. However, Allan did not compose any of the tunes, and his contributions (mostly solos) were recorded by himself as overdubs in his home studio. So the musical vision is very much the Johansson's. That said, it's a very enjoyable album. The music is perhaps best described as "progressive fusion", and Allan plays extended solos on almost every track. By his own admission, he enjoyed the project.
[[File:Gongzilla.jpeg|200px|right]]"Suffer" is a 1995 album by Gongzilla, a band that grew out of Hansford Rowe's involvement with Gong. Allan plays on “Gongzilla”, “Bad Habits”, “Almost You” and “Allan Qui”, as always sounding good with Gong. My favourite is “Bad Habits”, where Allan plays THROUGH the solo, making it a composition in itself. “Allan Qui” is nice too, Allan really stretches out. Benoit Moerlen is the only player remaining from the "Gazeuse" days, while Hansford Rowe and Bon Lozaga carry over from "Expresso II".

Revision as of 09:53, 25 October 2023

"Suffer" is a 1995 album by Gongzilla, a band that grew out of Hansford Rowe's involvement with Gong. Allan plays on “Gongzilla”, “Bad Habits”, “Almost You” and “Allan Qui”, as always sounding good with Gong. My favourite is “Bad Habits”, where Allan plays THROUGH the solo, making it a composition in itself. “Allan Qui” is nice too, Allan really stretches out. Benoit Moerlen is the only player remaining from the "Gazeuse" days, while Hansford Rowe and Bon Lozaga carry over from "Expresso II".
