Wardenclyffe Tower (album)


Wardenclyffe Tower is the seventh studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1992 through Restless Records and JMS–Cream Records, and in 1993 through Polydor Records ; a remastered edition was reissued in 2007 through Eidolon Efformation, containing three bonus tracks which were previously only available on the Japanese release.
The album's title is a reference to the real life Wardenclyffe Tower, or Tesla Tower, designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1901. "Zarabeth" is named after a character in the episode "All Our Yesterdays |All Our Yesterdays".

Critical reception

Daniel Gioffre at AllMusic awarded Wardenclyffe Tower 1.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "formless" and "not very compelling", and being of value to Holdsworth completists rather than casual listeners. He nonetheless noted "Against the Clock", "Dodgy Boat" and the title track as highlights.
