There are some Neo-Fusion artists like me;) Check out "Stay For A While" from crima, where a Mini-Moog Model-D (the original one) is featured (and more old analog synth stuff as on the whole album...
Adam you absolutely slay, you are awesome, regret number 9 solo is unreal, I must have played the solo About 10000000 times. Love it! Great sound for soloing.
If you haven’t seen this same solo from the Home invasion at Royal Albert hall DVD then you are in a for a real treat after watching this soundcheck version. As good as soundcheck sounds, Adam finds another level when played in concert. Absolutely brilliant stuff!!!
Holzman is a true musician, and we didn't need this masterfully written and played solo to aknowledge this. He is a master of his craft. I know that Steven Wilson is a genius in what he does, but I will never understand how he convinced all this giants to play for him in his albums. I mean...it would even be acceptable to have 1 monster in a band, but Holzman, Govan, Minneman in the same band?! It's crazy.
one quick note about "written" solo - it isn't. Aside from the first and last couple of bars, this is all improvised, coming straight from Adam's head and heart. That said... "masterful," indeed!
This was the best display of musicianship I've ever seen. The sound was amazing as fuck. Thank you. Steven Wilson, Nick Beggs, Adam Holzman, Dave Kilminster and Craig Blundell For the Boulder Co. show
Aaarrgghh, it gets cut off right at the guitar solo! Thanks Adam, for posting this, your solo followed by Dave's on Regret #9 were the highlight during the show for me.
One of my Favorite Adam solos and then to climax it when Govan kicks in with the octave harmonized guitar (studio) is just so over the top incredible. SW is GOD~~~!!!!
Brilliant....Adam is an all time favourite on mine. Still have his first solo album and always thought that he is an outstanding musician and also a gentle person. Very inspiring to practice my solo work on my new moog....
Oooooh mate! Just keep doing what you’re doing! You are great! Saw you with SW in Stockholm twice. Regret #9 was awesome! I think I love your touch on the piano even more though….
I was lucky enough to see the original HCE tour in Cardiff where Govan and Minneman were astonishing but the absolute highlight of the entire evening was this solo. It left the whole place reeling. Sublime musicianship.
Aw, maaaan, that's SO nice. Just became familiar with SW music during the lockdown and then discovered your name on the credits for Miles' TUTU album a couple weeks ago. You're a blessing and such an integral part of those SW albums. And LOVE the Leslie piano on Eminent Sleaze. Looking forward to checking out Truth Decay and your other work. A great discovery!
I come back to watch this, Adam's solo often.... Just hearing all of them jam is amazing. It must just be so amazing as artist's like Wilson, Blundell, Kilminster, Beggs and Holzman. As baddas as they are. Sounding and playing this Fuckin good.
The harmonic distortion in Bob Moog's designs makes that instrument sound so natural and not synthesized. Another amazing American engineer that created something dope that changed our perception of existance.
I'm no scholar of keyboard solos in rock albums, but this is my #1 all-time. And there can be no finer 1-2 punch than this solo in combination with Guthrie's guitar solo. I can't get enough of it.
Really enjoyable tasty synth solo...pleasing melodic phrasing! Made me think back to some of the synth work of Jan Hammer and of Kit Watkins in his 'Happy The Man' days. Thanks for sharing this Adam!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Jaylen Kylen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Adam Holzman rocks! Saw him twice with Steven Wilson, sept'15 and jan'18, always listening to them at home, frequently watching their live videos. Thank you all for your art.
Hey Adam, now I know why Jack at Korg hipped me to you way back man, really nice followup after just listening to you and Jimi T ripping it on Whoa Nellie!...cheers from the real Forest Hills
Glad to see this man being highlighted. Seeing him being overlooked as a keyboard player in Porcupine Tree and not considered one of the top players of the era got me upset for a long time. This guy knows less can be more in terms of longer proggresive songs, even though mad skills are his property. Hahah cheers man, love the music
Great solo, Adam! Very clean playing. Wondering, does the voyager have a way of keeping it's tune across the keyboard? Because I own a model D reissue and am having trouble with it going out of tune. Do you have to tune before each few shows or something? Thanks
When I saw them do this in NYC, I thought Steven stepped too forcefully on Adam's solo with the rhythmic strumming that he was doing (not doing it here). I loved this solo from the album and really wanted to hear it loud, dominating the song and shaking the Beacon. Didn't really get that, but it was still great.
