Allan Holdsworth - Sand

[michaelofpetaluma]

This album was a religious experience for me and my friends back in the '90's. We'd take acid and listen to this. A soon as the first chords flew out of the speakers, we knew we were "home"...

synths don't get much more poignant than this, nor does fusion...

[multigenremusicmvmnt]

Such a futuristic sound.I think this would be perfect for a show like the original CSI,a science fiction movie or show or a psychological thriller.

This one sounds like it could have been on Atavachron - the thing about Allan Holdsworth is that he probably thinks this is fairly mainstream yet to me it sounds like it comes from freaking Jupiter

To me this doesn't sound like sand!It sounds like Ice.The opening chords bring to mind a vast sunlit sheet of artic ice.With the sun low on the horizon and the subzero winds blowing ice crystals across frozen snow drifts.

@gebass6 I totally agree very cool not sand at all

@gebass6

Well Allan is from a parallel universe so everything there is the opposite to here !
