Solarflares gotta like Zappa and McLaughlin . have you heard any Allan Holdsworth or Chad Wackerman both are very good
Allan Holdsworth and me were friends at one point, back in ‘78. He was frighteningly good, and the most quintessential English guitarist ever. The first solo after the drum-break on “Unmerry Go Round” from “Metal Fatigue” is pure soul.
My fav drummers with Allan have to be Gary Husband, Gary Novak, Tony Williams, and Jon Hiseman.
I love “The Sixteen Men of Tain” with Dave Carpenter on upright, with Gary Novak.
Search out Allan’s album with Gordon Beck - “The Things You See”.
