Ironically Allan always dismissed is earlier material, in fact he was rarely positive about anything he produced. But, for me, Bundles is just as amazing in its own way as his later more rarefied material, and I love the fact that you can still hear Allan using percussive and pick attack dynamics, and a more coventional (but still uniquely beautiful) sound, to give excitement and variety to the solo's phrasing. Maybe you could argue this material is more accessible than his later material, and I must confess I always loved it when Allan was playing in a collectvie so to speak (I love the interplay on Enigmatic Ocean for example). Hazard Profile is just stunning every way, and I can say it has formed the soundtrack to my life. Whilst Allan may have viewed this as 'primitive' by his later standards, it is still beyond any other guitarist past or present, and setting aside the technique, his construction and development of the solo is just the most mesmerising of musical journeys. I remember hearing HP when Bundles came out and it still excites me in the same way to this day. When I go to that great gig in the sky, those attending my send off will have quite a shock when this comes on :-)

Allan Holdsworth was one of Frank Zappa's favorite guitarists, he probably listened to this amazing track!
