2 Metallica fans still don't get it !

Because I have no musical education, I don't play an instrument and I'm not a credible critic, I'll just say this: I like the sounds Alan Holdsworth makes with his electric stringed box. It sounds like smart noise that makes me feel good.

@paul czech..dude you can do it man, im learning it now, its not too hard, just have to get the stretches down. I mean ifi i can learn anybody can

Filip Domazetovic

does Allan sing here?

Paul Czech

32 years later...I still can't get over those chord voicings during the verses. So transcendent and beautiful.

Contrapunctus II

Immense solo. Abstract, linear, evolved, fluid and a little bit out of control, like all the greats. He is in the Zone.

One of my favorite AH recordings. I bought the at the vinyl at the show in '81 when IOU came to Boston. You can tell the guitar solos were tracked live in the studio as the interplay between Paul, Gary and Allan during the solo section is not always in 6. It just flows naturally and builds momentum until the conclusion.

i wasn't really sure, but now i am, completely: he doesn't belong to earth

Yes, it does not mean the "The Things You See" song found on "I.O.U." album (which is what you hear), it means the "The Things You See" album with Gordon Beck...

"Additionally, he himself sang on 'Igginbottom's Wrench and The Things You See" I read it on the holdsworth wiki page under compositions and style

PapaDudeness

It's Paul Williams on vocals... and Wikipedia got it right, just checked. Maybe you are a bit confused because this song is a part of "I.O.U." album, not "The Things You See" one. The first one belongs to Allan's personal discography, while the second one is a collaboration between Allan and Gordon Beck.

SinForgiven

Can anyone confirm Holdsworth sang on this track? Accord to wikipedia he sang on it, but i'm not so sure.

Bruce Morgan

A humble genius!

The solo on this piece is like something you would hear if you were transforming into a higher being or going down a Worm-Hole. But what we are actually hearing is a man playing lines speaking in a higher language that even if we can't understand what is being said effects us on a emotional, cerebral and spiritual level. Watching him on videos he's just one of the guys someone that you can have a beer with but when you hear his music you realize just how deep and how large he thinks.

Incredible piece and what a band. All of the Swing Jazz rebels that use to meet at Minton's Playhouse in Harlem New York to jam { later creating Be-Bop Jazz} would totally dig what Allan and the band are doing here. If they heard this piece and Letters Of Marque from this album they would be standing on the tables freaking out in amazement. They would also realize just how far Jazz had been taken. I said it before, this is Jazz Deluxe!

this is one piece of pure magic, for the few

This record, Allan Holdsworth I.O.U., is still the best album he ever made. Every song is great & every song has an unbelievable & very long monster solo that's as melodic as it's ferocious, fast, complicated & extreme.

Anthony Armstrong

I had I.O.U at one time and lost the album,so sad.
