CD Fan Review
This
is another terrific album in Allan Holdsworth's masterful repertoire,
and one that strikes a nice balance between guitar- and
Synthaxe-based compositions.
The
Synthaxe tunes are elegant, both in terms of tone and structure, and
the guitar tracks feature Holdsworth's typically virtuosic and
otherworldly solos.
In
addition to the excellent instrumentals, the album includes two vocal
songs, the best of which is easily "Endomorph," sung by
Craig Copeland and exhibiting one of Holdsworth's most searing,
searching, and incisive guitar performances. It is among Holdsworth's
finest material.
It's
no secret that Allan Holdsworth stands apart in terms of his artistic
vision and technical execution, and Secrets is a prime example
of his creative greatness.
