Steve
Hackett began his career in Genesis, playing a mean guitar when
Phil Collins was only sitting nicely behind his drumkit and Peter
Gabriel was handling the vocals. During the 5 years he was a
member of Genesis, they created and released such genre classics
as "Selling England by the Pound" and "The Lamb
lies down on Broadway". After leaving Genesis he has been
pursuing a solo-career spanning over more than 25 years and
releasing more than 10 studio albums. He was also a big part of
the very first GTR album, if anyone remembers that album?
"Wild
Orchids" is his latest effort and I must say I don't like it
what so ever... Combining 70's progressive rock with orchestral
elements does sound quite intriguing in paper, but this album
don't move me in any way... And to make this worse, he has
included a cover-version of Bob Dylan's "Man in the Long
Black Coat" and I really can't stand Dylan at all.
This
is for Steve Hackett and old Genesis fans only - sorry -
but I really can't recommend this one to metal fans at all... This
one is so far from the rock music I like and enjoy, sad,
but true...
