Music reviews of Against the Clock: The Best of Allan Holdsworth
Music Review: Pretty good compilation of Allan.
Rating: 4 Stars
This double-album is a pretty good compilation of Allan's stuff, but I felt like some of the songs could've been switched. I missed e.g. Letters of Marque, Panic Station and Metal Fatigue. I never listened much to Bo peep, Let's throw shrimp or Mr. Berwell.
Other than that though, it's a great album. It shows Allan's musicianship in both guitars and with the synthaxe. Devil Take the Hindmost, Looking Glass and Tokyo Dream might be (imo) the best guitar-centric songs (though the Looking Glass backing melody is played with a synthaxe), and Eidolon really makes you see the completely different side of Allan's playing. The song is haunting and unique, and the name Eidolon is quite fitting, as that's what I see the "synthaxe-Holdsworth" to be in comparison to "guitar-centric Holdsworth".
Overall a great compilation, and a great way for new fans of Holdsworth to get exposed to the full extent of his music.
