In December 1996 Steve plus an all-star band performed a series of 4 concerts in Japan to support the Genesis Revisited album. Now a double CD live and a video are scheduled for a 27 April release and also a video will be published. For those who missed the concert (many too many!) Steve prepared this present in which you will see John Wetton, Chester Thompson, Ian McDonald and Julian Colbeck performing many gems of music from Genesis, Steve Hackett and King Crimson tunes.

Midsummer
nights dream
Steve's first acoustic work was recorded in 1983 just after the break with Charisma. "Bay of kings" represented then the struggle of an artist between popularity and integrity. Steve choiced the last one pursuing his real interest in music. (The same thing when he left Genesis). Now after another acoustic work (Momentum, 1988) he returns with another classical album that marks an important step in his glorious career. From EMI classics, with the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra "Midsummer nights dream" derived from a famous Shakespeare's opera.
Genesis
Revisited
A great gift for all Hackett fans. Always considered inessential in Genesis sound, Steve here demonstrates once again that he was one of the main reasons (together will Peter Gabriel) that made the band great! In 1996 he recorded these work in which he "revisited" old Genesis tunes. In my opinion many of these old songs were affected by poor production, and these version regave life to them. Buy it immediately! It's the best album I've heard for years...
