Hard Hat Area is the eighth studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1993. To me Allan Holdsworth is number one. (Eddie Van Halen) ... well worth revisiting ... remains one of Holdsworths better solo recordings, overall, certainly one of his most consistently high octane ... this remastered reissue does it justice both sonically and by bringing it back. (AllAboutJazz) Allan Holdsworth is arguably one of the most important post-Hendrix electric guitarists to grace either the fusion or rock scenes, while Hard Hat Area, signifies one of the artists better solo excursions. With this 1994 effort, the guitarist receives excellent support from Icelandic electric bass phenom Skuli Sverrissson, whereas keyboardist Steve Hunt renders melodically tinged synth lines and ethereal backwashes throughout. Essentially, the group produces a series of climactic overtures, accelerated by a distinct sense of uninhibited force. On pieces such as Ruhkukah and Low Levels, High Stakes, the musicians surge forward with a deterministic flair via a few tricky time signatures and lyrically charged themes atop Holdsworths climactically driven solos. Consequently, the group conveys an underlying sense of tension and release, as Holdsworths scathing legato-based lines might spur notions of a hawk zooming in on its prey. Thus, a must-have for the ardent Holdsworth aficionado. (Glenn Astarita, AMG) Allan Holdsworth, guitar, SynthAxe Steve Hunt, keyboard Gary Husband, drums Skúli Sverrisson, bass Tracklist: 1 01.
