I like it mate, but not sure it'll convert anyone not familiar with his work.
Like a fair bit of his solo work, think it's a grower.

It is an excellent track. The album On Parole is a great album. Of course it helps that three of the tracks on it, including this one, are old Hawkwind songs.

SOS Band, Change, Alexander O'Neal, Luther.
As Cabbige would say, 'good times'.
I got to see Alex live back in the early 2000s, he was part of this soul concert at Wembley Arena. Other acts were Kid Creole & The Coconuts, The Real Thing, Shalamar, Rose Royce, Tavares & Chic
someone's uploaded it on YT....

Do pay attention Pike...I am generally not a fan of guitar solos and needless guitar wankery in particular.
The hammer on/pull off widdly stuff is actually pretty easy to learn even for ham fisted bass player like me.
It is ALL about the sound and melody and feel is much more important.
There are loads that I love and most are about the feel. Mind you the first time I heard Eruption...

Likewise. There are many bluffers who hideously overuse flashy techniques such as hammer-ons, tapping and pinch harmonics to try to dazzle the audience.
Accurate use of string skipping and clean sweep picking are much harder to do. Most impressive if you are able to use these techniques skillfully, and then only use them REALLY occasionally and appropriately.
