(UK ProgRock) Patto - Hold Your Fire 1971 UK - 1971, APE (image + .cue)

Patto's second album, "Hold Your Fire", presents a great collection of songs that

explores somewhat more complex musical territory than the debut album, "Patto". There

are still relatively straight-ahead songs like the title cut and "You, You Point Your

Finger". But the album contains a lot more experimentation, with unusual time signature

changes present in nearly all of the tunes. There's plenty of great rock, and the jazz

influence still presents itself in many of the songs, particularly in Ollie's Air-Raid

Shelter.

In just a year, Ollie's guitar playing improved incredibly since the debut album, having

perfected his legato hammer-on/pull-off technique. His fast, fluid, and inventive

playing is the star of this album. Nearly every track on "Hold Your Fire" includes

extraordinary guitar playing that these words cannot possibly do justice to, and he had

only been playing guitar for four years! If you are into great guitar playing and you

haven't heard this album, you are urged to rectify that situation as soon as possible.

Muff Winwood's production on "Hold Your Fire" is not as minimalist or in-your-face as it

is on "Patto". More time was spent on overdubs. John's drums have a fuller sound.

Ollie's keyboards are more present throughout the album. There are also more backing

vocals. "Hold Your Fire" is a fine sounding album with impressive songs and musicianship

of an extraordinary caliber. It is a shame that it has not been discovered by more rock

music and guitar enthusiasts.
