“Allan Holdsworth changed the way people play the electric guitar, both musically and physically. He is a true genius”.
Joe Satriani, November 2004
In Science and Arts you can find two kinds of people: Those who work and follow the secure road in the applied field and those who break the barriers, expand the well-known paths and open new possibilities for all the others. Allan Holdsworth undoubtedly belongs to the second category, where the personal cost is very big, and only giants can handle it.
I was really thrilled when I listened to “Unfinished Business” for the first time back in 2002… and writing a review was the least I could do for this magnificent album. Of course, I made a mistake back then… I should have rated the album with half a point more… but I wanted time to tell whether my judgment was right… or if I was just overexcited because I hadn’t heard from the band for over ten years plus, they had been and still are one of my beloved hard rock bands.
