Steve Hackett - Voyage Of The Acolyte (1975)

Steve Hackett - Voyage Of The Acolyte

  "Voyage" is one of the great prog albums IMHO.  I loved it years ago and I still play it frequently!   Voyage was Steve's first solo album after leaving the mighty Genesis and here he shows up with both Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford helping take the Voyage.

  Shadow Of The Hierophant was a song I played over and over and still for me is the hallmark song on this album blending a mix of Genesis and Mike Oldfield.  Of course Sally Oldfield sings with her folk lore gentle voice.  Hackett plays guitars all over this album and adds mellotron and effects while brother John contributes flutes, synths and bells.

  This album is one that you best enjoy with the stereo turned up and the lights slightly dimmed......amazing auras and deep analog mellotron to fill your ears.
