 Soft Works
 Abracadabra
 Review by Gary Hill
This group is made up of former Soft Machine members. The line-up is Allan Holdsworth (guitar, Synthaxe), Elton Dean (alto saxophone, saxello, Fender Rhodes), Hugh Hopper (bass) and John Marshall (drums). Now, this is a remastered version of an album that was originally released in 2003. I have written in the past that I think Allan Holdsworth was the greatest guitarist who ever lived, so you have to figure that it’s worth the price of admission for me based on his work alone. That said, everything here is killer instrumental fusion. So, it’s all impeccable.
