Allan Holdsworth's unique playing style is surely indispensable for this tune. But the track was written by Steve Hunt so props of the maddest kind must surely go to him.
I have loved this piece since I first heard it back in 1989, when I bought Holdsworth's Secrets album. I was blown away by this music, which a college friend at the time said was like music that "intelligent aliens would listen to". Still to this day this is one of the best expressions I can find to describe Holdsworth's music.
Some musicians have loads of feeling but lack technical ability; others are replete with technique but leave you cold. Given the right song, this Holdsworth bloke nails both in spades.
