Sad news, indeed. I've struggled trying to appreciate Holdsworth over the years, but have admired his session work in particular with Gong, UK, and Jean-Luc Ponty.

As a personal dedication to him, I just bought this 12-CD box set, which collects many of his solo albums:

"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

That is a good one indeed. Metal Fatigue is a great album overall.
