Tempest - Tempest / Living in Fear (1972 & 73)

Tempest:The 1972 debut by this little-known "minor supergroup" (as they are referred to in the CD liner notes) is well worth your attention if you are a fusion and/or prog rock fan. The Tempest sound is propelled by the tasty fretwork of gifted British axemeister Allan Holdsworth (Gong,Soft Machine,etc.), the rhythm section from pioneering jazz-rock outfit Colosseum and the formidable warbling of one Paul Williams (no, not the diminutive composer with dubious pipes who penned "Rainy Days And Mondays", but another!) The most amazing thing about the album is how contemporary it sounds; the only thing that screams "early 70's" are the occasional silly lyric (a la Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge"). Several cuts sound like virtual templates for the Dixie Dregs, Dream Theater, King's X or Queensrhyche; especially with Holdsworth's fat, sustaining guitar tone, sophisticated chord chemistry and his occasional flourishes on the electric violin. Prog-rock heaven! (amazon)

Living in Fear:Wow, this album was a great surprise, with amazing guitar from Ollie Halsall. I got this record because I kept hearing Ollie's named mentioned alongside Holdsworth. Now I know why! I don't know who influenced whom, but Ollie could have sure given Holdsworth a run for his money, back in the day. Sometimes the similarity is amazing. With his singing and energetic attitude, Ollie really stands out. As a Tempest album, I like this even more than the debut w/Holdsworth, with better production, singing, songs, and plenty of great guitar work. What a find. Now I guess I have start trying to find other records Ollie Halsall played on… (amazon)
