This fantastic album by the British quartet Igginbottom would have probably disappeared into oblivion if not for the fact that the band included the young guitarist named Allan Holdsworth. Many years later, following Allan's fame and fortune, the fans unearthed this gem and tried and find it, which of course would have cost them quite a bundle, before this reissue came about. But background stories apart, this is a truly amazing album, unique and different from anything else recorded at the time and since. The band included two guitar players: Holdsworth and Steven Robinson, bassist Mick Skelly and drummer Dave Freeman. They played original material, written mostly by Holdsworth, which was (sort of) song based, but in truth the "songs" were just a basis for extended guitar solos. Of course Allan's guitar playing is simply marvelous, but the surprising element is his vocal performance, which is low key and suitable for this kind of Jazz oriented music. The material is experimental and interesting, shunning every clichés and convention. Of course Holdsworth fans will be terribly cross with me, but I will say that this is definitely some of his best playing. I might be of course blinded by nostalgia, since I did hear this music live at the time, but believe you me, this album smokes! Do yourself a favor – grab this beauty and listen to it, preferably with low lights and a good drink in your hand – you are in for a surprise…
