Putting aside the fact that Ken Jacquess is an acquaintance of mine,
I can recommend it on the musical front ∗if∗ you liked the first UK
album and Sean Guerin's proggier solo work. Think of it as UK fronted
by Peter Gabriel with a violinist in the lineup (used more than
Jobson).
As for the 'tron content, the keys are mostly played by Ryo Okumoto
of Spock's Beard so I expect the 'tron is real. A lot of flashy chops
in this one, and some of Holdsworth's most focused lead work in years,
perhaps because there's not much in the way of jazz going on.
