Our Take

British prog-rock icon Steve Hackett takes us on a trip down memory lane with his latest release, "Selling England By The Pound & Spectral Mornings: Live At Hammersmith." This double album extravaganza is a joyous celebration of two of Hackett's most beloved works, performed live at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon.

On "Selling England By The Pound," Hackett and his band flawlessly recreate the intricate melodies and lush arrangements that made this album a classic in the progressive rock canon. From the haunting beauty of "Firth of Fifth" to the epic grandeur of "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight," Hackett's guitar work shines brightly, reminding us why he is considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.

The second disc, "Spectral Mornings," sees Hackett at his most nostalgic, revisiting the album that cemented his status as a solo artist. The title track is a highlight, with its swirling synths and soaring guitar solos transporting listeners to another dimension.

Overall, "Selling England By The Pound & Spectral Mornings: Live At Hammersmith" is a captivating journey through Hackett's illustrious career, showcasing his virtuosity and musical vision in all its glory. Fans of classic prog-rock will find much to love here, as Hackett once again proves why he is a true legend of the genre.
