Huw has always been one of my favourite ax-slingers. He's got a
unique style, was very complementary sounding in HW. He's melodic
but can be symphonic and pompous (which I like) and his sound
is great. Also I love his white Les Paul custom :-) The only
problem I have with him is that he can't sing - and he should stop
trying now!

A most excellent observation. And true of very many rock acts. Who ever
improved by going solo? Solo albums are always worse than band albums.
