Wardenclyffe Tower is the seventh studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1992 through Restless Records; a remastered edition was reissued in 2007 through Eidolon Efformation, containing three bonus tracks (alternative versions of "Tokyo Dream" and "The-Unmerry-Go-Round") which had previously been available on the 1992 Japanese release.[2] The album's title is a reference to the Wardenclyffe Tower or Tesla Tower, designed by inventor Nikola Tesla. The fifth track, "Zarabeth", is named after a character in the Star Trek episode, "All Our Yesterdays".
