The best album I heard in 1985, my first year in college audio engineering study. Absolutely exceptional musicianship, Allan Holdsworth was a legend ! - Eddy Van Halen was in total awe of him: 'He plays scales I still don't understand, or knew existed' ...
Jimmy Johnson on bass all but track 5 (Gary Willis played)...Chad Wackerman on drums, except 'The Un-merry-go-round' where Gary Husband excelled.
Our band in those college days was a a trio and our drummer was similar to Wackerman in style. tho we never came close to the talent these people had.

Allan played the SynthAxe guitar synthesizer like nobody could: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SynthAxe (I still have the Guitar Player magazine that featured it on the cover).
'The un-merry-go-round' - the flute sounds are Allan on his SynthAxe.
