"To me Allan Holdsworth is number one."
- Eddie Van Halen
"... well worth revisiting ... remains one of Holdsworth's better solo recordings, overall, certainly one of his most consistently high octane ... this remastered reissue does it justice both sonically and by bringing it back."
- All About Jazz
Part of a series of remastered reissues from influential guitarist Allan Holdsworth, Hard Hat Area was originally released in 1993 and finds Holdsworth leading a quartet consisting of keyboardist Steve Hunt, bassist Skúli Sverrisson and drummer Gary Husband.
