That phrasing....that control....that tone....that tonal choice mastery....that dynamic, lively playing, them beautiful soundscapes....man. I dont' like to bring up terms like "best" in music but he certainly had it all and then some
Its definitely the unique tonal qualities of intentional dissonance... to the point of confusing me. "Oh there are notes there?". Far enough from the path without being random nonsense.
@@dolinofolde That's a really good summary of Allan. I mean sometimes he drops pentatonic stuff in. He mostly chooses notes that are totally unexpected but yet never venturing to the point of alienation.
Derek and Virgil are releasing a 4 cd box set of the three studio albums and one concert releases remastered in a digipak box set. 1000 press run followed by further runs upon demand.
Me too man.....Jeeez.....this track especially. All of it is next level. This album should have gotten some serious awards TBH. I like it way better than the McAlpine stuff. No offense to him, he's great but this is true art.
Me too well about 50-75 people in West Chester PA lol I was like this isnt right! My buddies played bigger venues! I'm glad lucky to have met them Moon Babies tour! Rick Fab on bass for tour! But Virginia was soaked drenched! He wasn't like ahh 50 people was sick! Sherinian an inch away whole show man so lucky
I remember listening to Dream Theater’s Trial of Tears solo and thinking how much inspiration it took from Holdsworth. And later Derek does this with Holdsworth, mixing that Prog metal sound with Allan’s incredible improvisation. So glad this collaboration exists!
This thing is 17 years old now? That Holdsworth solo still sticks out as what the shred scene just simply doesn't get or something. It's one of the best solos in the style of music I've heard.
omg that was one of the best solos ever recoreded in life!!!!! i miss holdsworth so much!!! him and tony mac are animals of the galaxy!!! but allan holdsworth is like some Devine aggressive majestic thing!!!!
The rumor goes that Allan recorded the entire album with Planet X, but accidentally deleted like, 80% of it in a drunken state, and thus, only 2 songs were released
quite the contrary ( excluding holdsworth) i think virgil did create a DT cover band in the 90s as indicated by petrucci in the audition video . but PlanetX remains the benchmark for technical abilities and also on the melodic side too . Moonbabies and quantum are masterpieces . Mangini also included quantum in his top albums .
@@chaimean8704 I mean the song sucks ass. The musicians are obviously gifted ("technically fantastic") but the song is just awful and doesn't groove at all. A song isn't liked for it's technical difficulty, it's liked by how good it sounds.
@@kidzbop38isstraightfire92 i would totally disagree. this provokes me a huge emotional reaction of totaly otherworldly landscapes and distant psychedelic lands. i find it groovy to. each to their own i guess. now polyphia i would give this descriptoon too. highly technical with not much actual substance beyond
Can't believe this Masterpiece is not on Spotify. I would listen to so much more.
Not only this, but rather the entire album is a masterpiece
I did mean the entire album. You're 100% correct 😊@@tomerhagag4905
Buy the remastered boxset :)

Every time Iisten to Alan something new is revealed. Holdsworth is the greatest. He's in his own league.
I completely forgot how awesome this album is and how awesome Allan is on this track. RIP Allan!

Allans solo is unbelievable 😮
One show I'll never forget seeing Planet X in a small nightclub in Seattle maybe 200 people Virgil such a monster 👍
mann am i jealous, that is awesome

Fusion Jazz Metal at its best!!

So happy it was Allan. Bless you
FaR KING Oaf - I've just been transported to another universe - and left there.
Amazing sounds - brilliant playing.
Can you guys post the whole album for this? It seems to have fallen off the face of the planet.

Can still buy it
Where??? I've been trying to find it!@@frederf69
omg that was one of the best solos ever recoreded in life!!!!! i miss holdsworth so much!!! him and tony mac are animals of the galaxy!!! but allan holdsworth is like some Devine aggressive majestic thing!!!!
Why is this album no longer to be found anywhere???
Too good for this world
I’ve uploaded 3 planet X songs
Kingdom of dreams
Snuff
Quantum factor
Try to upload more
@@brunolr3698correct.
This album needs more releases on TH-cam, CD, and whatnot. BADLY!
They just put out an anthology set with all four Planet X albums together on CD
@@Nel_Annette
I would've preferred separate albums, but I'll take it the way it is for now.
@@CarloNassar That's fair. I was just happy to finally get a physical copy of MoonBabies for a decent price.
One of my favorite holdsworth albums
Have you heard of the Sedans?
@@kennyharris7154 nope but im investigating on spotify!!
Its actually a Virgil Donati/Planet X album; AH is on 2 tracks; Desert Girl & The Thinking Stone.
I bought the remastered boxset. Unbelievable. I respect their decision not to stream their IP.

Really? I have never heard this. Can you think of a source? I have heard of him doing this on his own projects, but not for others...
I've heard something to this also 😂
There's a vid of Allan talking guitars on TH-cam. At the back, on top of an amp is a pint of beer! Allan was fearless 😆
Soy Argentino y tengo el cd completo de esta exelentisima banda de jazz rock progresivo.saludos
@@adriantello5451yo todavía conservo los mp3 y cd's
We need the whole album I can’t find it anywhere anymore!!
SAAAAME!
it's all on youtube, and I think Sherinian still sells the CD in his online store

I still have mp3 album and many others
I think Dream Theatre were inspired by these guys.

Like 5 different songs in one, insane
I love this so much.
the Mighty Holdsworth!
If dream theatre was more daring.
How do you get this on Spotify ??
Solid!! Cheers!!;-)!!
is there anybody can upload the full album??
I uploaded 3 of the lost songs
god this is nasty
This crazy
Fantastico!
Extasy.
amazing music
3:50 best part
Where are all the other Planet X videos?? Anyone know?? I used to be able to see many more than there is now
Idk I uploaded 3 songs and there is space foam and alien hip hop available by others
Piano riff interesting Allan usual emotional and technical genius don’t like a lot of the “synthFiller”andy(bob)yates
Phenomenal!!! Thanks for sharing!
4:21 entering the wormhole, 2001 space odyssey style
It's like the prog version of Stanley Clarke's School Days
For ages I’ve been listening to this. So sad it’s not on Spotify 😔
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this!
Bellissimo !!! ;-)
Aliens for sure
03:49
oooooh my GOD !!! Planet XXX
who's the drummer??
virgil
Virgil’s drums sound like cardboard boxes.
This is technically fantastic but it sounds absolutely *awful*
Elaborate?

@@kidzbop38isstraightfire92 Sounds to me you're just blaming your lack of perception and untrained hearing on something having technical prowess.

@@kidzbop38isstraightfire92 how do you listen to the bass and drums here and say it don't groove sir
I prefer Japanese 'Jazz Fusion' music, but I heard this a long time ago -and it's still really awesome!
