hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Sep. 02 2005, 11:56 The first album, "Voyage of the Acolyte", is rather Oldfieldian. I thought the second one was 1/4 as good as this one. The third was 1/4 as good as the second one. Based on this, I did not bother with his fourth album. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Sep. 02 2005, 20:02 I love "Voyage of the Acolyte" and "Please Don't Touch" both the same.  After that, they fall short.  Favorites are "Carry Up on the Vicarage" and "Narnia". -------------- Speak friend and enter. Back to top

Track List Voyage of the Acolyte Ace Of Wands Hands Of The Priestess Part 1 A Tower Struck Down Hands Of The Priestess Part 2 The Hermit Star Of Sirius The Lovers Shadow Of The Hierophant Bonus Tracks: Ace Of Wands (Live) Shadow Of The The Hierophant (Extended playout version) On Friday, there were articles about Kate Bush in The Mirror and The Independent! Her new album is a DOUBLE! Called 'Aerial'. Funny how two of my favourite artists are releasing double albums within weeks of each other! Back to top

Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Sep. 04 2005, 11:33 My favourite Steve Hackett albums are 'Voyage of the Acolyte' and 'Spectral Mornings'. Also, one of his latest, 'To Watch the Storms' is quite a return to form; not quite up there in the big league with 'Voyage' and 'Spectral', but mighty close.   -------------- “A dog is not intelligent.

I keep on falling further and further behind! - I hope to catch up on the releases and re-releases soon! Back to top
