Artist:  Allan Holdsworth

Title:  Atavachron

Date:  1986

Label:  Enigma Records   ST-73203

Notes:  Holdsworth takes a page from the book of progressive music and lightens it up a little bit. Playing his synthaxe he brings out new and different sounds and musical textures not commonly found on other albums of the period. While I'm not a huge fans of this style I thought that the cover alone merited an entry in my graphic diary. Uncredited it is, but it does make one stop and wonder. Maybe he's on his way to a convention or something...
