   I don't think I've ever heard _Bankstatement_.  What's it like?
   As for Holdsworths' participation on a Level 42 album - I've got to
 wonder what he's doing there in the first place.  The band certainly
 hasn't made any moves towards a more prog-oriented sound. They're as
 pop as ever on this one.
   Anyway, speaking of Holdsworth, I'd love to get a few more of his albums.
 I've only got _Velvet Darkness_ (1976), which is an acoustic jazz album,
 and _Secrets_ (1989).  I was able to pick up both for about $6.00 each,
 whereas (around here, at least) the rest of his catalogue is always priced
 at about $18 - $20 each.  Since Holdsworth has done quite a variety of
 stuff, I'd rather go with someones' recommendation than take a $20 chance.
 Care to make one?   ;-)
      Cheers,
               Martin
