Steve Hackett

Eclectic Prog

3.36 | 290 ratings

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

First fully acoustic album by Hackett should fulfill most expectations by Hackett fans. It is focused, contains good compositons, even some re-recorded (Horizons, Kim) and good tasteful playing. There are classical oriented pieces but also more exploratory ones.

The title track has the type of melody that only Hackett can craft: elegant but restrained. Tracks like "Second chance" offer a bit of variety with flute melody and guitar in the background.

My only major objection is the too much processed -> unnatural sound of acoustic guitar, it is somewhat drawned in the mix. It is a good album but not essential output by Mr. Hackett.
