A true masterpiece, Secrets is the massive culmination of Allan
Holdsworth's years-long legato technique and SynthAxe development.
Conceptually inspired by but significantly different from the electric
guitar, the SynthAxe is not a guitar-controlled synthesizer; it's a
completely unique instrument of its own, making the guitarist's gripping
performances all the more impressive. Holdsworth actually plays both
instruments at a world-class level, setting an almost unreachable
technical standard for aspiring rock, jazz, and fusion players. In
addition to Secrets' technical accomplishments, Holdsworth contributes
some of the most inspired songwriting of his career. The instrumental
choruses are subtle and fluid, and the vocal lines on "Secrets"
(performed by Rowanne Mark) and "Endomorph" (Craig Copeland) surpass
earlier Holdsworth-penned efforts with their touching lyrics and
melodies. Simply put, this 1989 Enigma release is a triumph, the final
contribution to the artist's seminal '80s collection that includes Metal
Fatigue and Atavachron. Fans of progressive music (no matter the genre)
are recommended to search out the furtive Secrets, and unearth the
sadly hidden knowledge of a musician's sublime transcendence of form,
through passion and genius. Vincent Jeffries
