The music is pretty conventional though not without some interesting solos (often from NC). Great lineup, for sure.

Try this Spotify URL link.  
The "composer(s)" is: Broadbent/A.Cline/N.Cline/Erskine/Pasqua

Please let me know if you have any further difficulties locating it.

ghost--can't find the eric von essen on spotify--is it worth tracking down on cd?

Last night was The Music of Eric Von Essen Vol. I & II.  An interesting Nels Cline connection here, for anyone interested ( @jafant , @loomisjohnson ).  Pretty much "standard" jazz with a little twist.  There is a 3rd volume as well, didn't get to it.  

For a change of pace, switched off to All Tiny Creatures, "Harbors".  

Ahmad Jamal.

Generation X.

Thanks for the further comments comparing Beck vs Holdsworth, Steve.  

I tried AH's "Wardenclyffe Tower" last night.  Maybe it just gets off to a slow start...really didn't do much for me though I didn't get through more than the first three tracks.  I will try Metal Fatigue.  I have collected several Jeff Beck LPs including Blow by Blow & Wired.   I like BbyB very much - prefer it to Wired by a large margin.

   

Metal Fatigue is my favorite Holdsworth recording;
Blow By Blow is my favorite Beck recording

ghost house: I just realized that one thing they might have in common musically is that they both often play with an inflection and a tonality suggestive of horn players.

Porcupine Tree, Fear of a blank planet.

Neil Finn - Dizzy Heights

Allan Holdsworth - Wardenclyffe Tower 

All the above, as is often the case listening at night, courtesy Spotify. 

a PS - gosh...I'd completely forgotten Holdsworth was part of the band UK's original lineup.   

The Michael Shenker group. S/T
Triumph, Just a game.

stevecham - Thanks for the insights.  Maybe I should have had a 4th option..."Or am I simply delusional".   I'm not a guitarist and all I know of Holdsworth is what I heard on this Tony William Lifetime compilation (as lamentable as that might be).  I had picked up on the difference of "long runs vs short phrases" but I did think I heard a similar tone or sound.  Haven't looked into the kinds of guitars they use but maybe it's just a case of Wired & Blow By Blow being from the same fusion genre as the music on the Tony Williams albums included in the compilation: "Believe It" & "Million Dollar Legs". Thanks again.

Jeff Beck

My sense is neither, they are both very different guitarists of exceptional talent and creative approach. Beck does not use a pick, Holdsworth does. Beck does not use legato as much Holdsworth does. Holdsworth often extends long runs while Beck usually jabs with short phrases.

Tony Williams Lifetime:  The Collection

Did Allan Holdsworth influence Jeff Beck or the reverse?
Or simply fortuitous?

Which Nels Cline album? He is really something!

For me right now, Spoon - Gimmer Shelter.
Cheers,
Spencer

Nels Cline.

Journey.

Tommy Bolin, "Cookoo" and "Post Toastee".

Miami Vice- soundtrack

Van Halen- s/t

Loomis - I know what you mean.  At the risk of insulting Wilco fans, Nels is kind of "slummin'" there.  He does bring some amazing solos to their tracks though.  His stuff as "Nels Cline Singers" is a real stretch for me, however.  I have a hard time listening to it.  Do check out his work with Alan Pasqua on the album, "The Antisocial Club".  That's a lot more accessible for me but definitely non-commercial.  Also on Cryptogramophone Records.

Black Stone Cherry, "Me and Mary Jane". This song kicks!

Rev Theory, "Hell Yeah". This also kicks!

If you play ’em, play ’em loud.

Ghost: re:nels cline
You cant blame a guy for wanting to feed his family, but freakin wilco? His freejazz stuff is fantastic, albeit wholly uncommercial: where does art transcend commerce? Right now im listening to "coward" on really good headphones.

Peter Frampton.

School of Seven Bells - "Ghostory"

@dpatterson - I got a strong feeling this is one you will like...though maybe you already know SVIIB.

Black Sabbath and Dio.

New Mastersounds, "Therapy"
Paul Butterfield, "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw"
Orange Peels, "Sun Moon"

@nutty ... Nels Cline might be THE single best thing about Wilco.  A very good and largely overlooked guitarist (at least that's how it seems to me).  

Chesky discs are great listens, excellent music too.

Chesky Audiophile Voice SACD.

Earle and Colvin.

Black Country Communion,  Live over Europe.

Tears For Fears - SEEDS OF LOVE

The Pixies, "Monkey gone to heaven" Love the bass player Kim Deal.
Black Sabbath, "War Pig". Geezer Butler, one of the superior bass players of all time. Pick any track, listen to the bass line.
The White Stripes - Meg White. Hey, a band is only as good as their drummer, right? "Fell in love with a girl", "Icky Thumps". Jack s abilities are obviously unique as well.
Wilco, "Impossible Germany". Nels Cline is kind of their secret weapon.
Pantera, "Cemetery Gates". Rex Brown’s vocals are mazing.
Led Zepplin, "Whole lotta love". John Paul Jones very underated. Bass, Keyboards and songwriter. Collaborating with Lenny Kravitz and Dave Grohl in Them Crooked Vulchars.

Mott The Hoople, All the young dudes.
Jethro Tull, A little light music. Recorded Live in several different countries, this albumn is great. It's a collection of semi acoustic songs. So if you like Tull, you will love this. If you like live recorded music, this one is for you.

The Subdudes.

Welcome, jo1.  I blow hot & cold on Wilco.  Jeff can get on my nerves sometimes...he gets a little whiny for me.  AGIB never really grabbed me for whatever reason; Sky Blue Sky and, distantly, Summerteeth if I had to pick Wilco favs.

Tonight, however, anyone bothering to read this...do yourself a favor, give some New Mastersounds a listen.  Live in San Francisco (2009) is not a bad place to start.  You got a cold?  Might even cure it.

Evolve...

"Happy Hour In The Gene Pool"

"Deeper Than The Sea"

Ghosthouse,  Yes.  "A Ghost is Born" is a favorite. 

John Hammond - "Wicked Grin"
Beatles -"Sgt. Pepper's ..."
little bit of Dean, too.

Queen, Greatest Hits .
