Il commento di Steve:
“Sono entusiasta che i miei due album Guitar Noir e Darktown vengano pubblicati su vinile per la primissima volta! La mia musica ha assunto un lato più oscuro per entrambi questi album e ho esplorato suoni e generi differenti che non avevo mai toccato prima.”
“Guitar Noir” (1993) vide Steve adottare un approccio più oscuro al suo suono di chitarra, affiancato da Julian Colbeck (tastiere), Dave Ball (basso), Hugo Degenhardt (batteria), Aron Friedman (tasti), Nick Magnus (tasti) e altri ospiti.
“Darktown” (1999) vide Steve affiancato da Julian Colbeck (tastiere), Hugo Degenhardt (batteria), Roger King (tastiere, basso, batterie), Jim Diamond (voce), John Hackett (flauti), Ian McDonald (sax) e John Wetton (sample). Questa edizione dell’album include anche le 3 tracce bonus incluse nella ristampa in CD del 2013.

About Steve Hackett:
Steve Hackett joined Genesis at the beginning of 1971 and gained an international reputation as the guitarist in the band’s classic line-up alongside Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins. Hackett’s intricate guitar work was a key element of Genesis’ albums from Nursery Cryme (1971) to Wind And Wuthering (1977) including the classic Selling England By The Pound.
After leaving Genesis at the end of 1977, Hackett’s solo career, which now spans more than 30 albums, has demonstrated his extraordinary versatility with both electric and acoustic guitar. Hackett is renowned as both an immensely talented and innovative rock musician and a virtuoso classical guitarist and composer and this was recognised in 2010 when he was inducted into the Rock Hall Of Fame. He has also worked alongside Steve Howe of YES in the supergroup GTR.
Hackett’s compositions take influences from many genres, including jazz, classical and blues. For his later studio works The Night Siren (2017) and At The Edge Of Light (2019) Hackett has explored the influences of world music. Recent tours have seen Hackett celebrate his time with Genesis
including a spectacular 2018 tour in which he realised a long-held ambition to perform the works of Genesis live with his band and an orchestra.
The lockdown enforced by the 2020 global pandemic has proven to be a particularly creative period for Hackett. He began by releasing Selling England by the Pound & Spectral Mornings: Live at Hammersmith, a live recording of 2019’s hugely successful tour celebrating that Genesis classic together with the 40th anniversary of one of his most-loved solo albums. Lockdown also gave Hackett the opportunity to write and record two new studio albums, the UK Classical Chart hit Under A Mediterranean Sky and Surrender of Silence.
