HACKETT STEVE At the Edge of Light

Popis:

Following the tremendous success of 2017's "The Night Siren" (charted at #22 in Germany, #28 in the UK), legendary former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett announces the release of his new studio album "At The Edge Of Light". The album which features ten songs, sees Steve unite a vast amount of styles ranging from guitar driven rock to epic orchestration, from world music to the reflective and atmospheric all brought together in Steve Hackett's unique style.
Steve says: "In these dangerous times, deep shadows feel even sharper than usual and we find ourselves standing at the edge of light ... The contrast between dark and light weaves its way throughout the album in many ways, from the sense of good fighting evil through to the interplay of dark and light opposites magically combining in cultures, including the heartbeat of India and primal tribal rhythms. Ultimately, this album embraces the need for all musical forms and cultures to connect and celebrate the wonder of unity in this divided world."
Steve Hackett has established himself as one of rock music's finest and recognisable guitarists through his time with the legendary Genesis whom he joined in 1971 and a solo career following his departure from Genesis in 1977. He is a hugely influential guitarist particularly in the progressive rock genre. "At The Edge Of Light" will be Hackett's 26th studio album in a solo career that began in 1975 with the release of his debut solo album "Voyage Of The Acolyte".
"At The Edge Of Light" was mainly recorded in Steve's own studio, but also around the world. The album features international artists, including Durga and Loreley of Pink Floyd vocal fame with drummers Nick D'Virgilio and Simon Phillips from the USA, Sheema on sitar from India, Icelandic drummer/percussionist Gulli Briem, tar player Malik Mansurov and Swedish bass player Jonas Reingold ... This album also features Paul Stillwell on didgeridoo, Rob Townsend on sax, bass clarinet and duduk, Amanda Lehmann on vocals, John Hackett on flute, drummer Gary O'Toole, Roger King and Ben Fenner on keyboards, Dick Driver on double bass, violinist and viola player Christine Townsend ... All magically honed and engineered by Roger King.
