Steve falling in love?

Higher amount of tender longs/ballads is unusual for Steve Hackett's solo albums. This one has a particular place in the discography due to fine melodies, high accessibility and solid guitar playing (as usual). Thankfully, there are also longer tracks that stay in your music mind. Singing has become highlight of Steve's records by now, be it for his matured singing abilities or vocal support from others.

Highlights are the epic title track with almost metallic edge, the ethereal ballad "A love song to a vampire". "Wheel's turning" caught my attention thanks to the symphonic orchestral motive. "Earthshine" confirms classy acoustic guitar abilities. "Heart song" is yet another tender song and could be well used as a single on radios.

A good pop/rock album but because of not a usual amount of progressive elements, 3 stars for proggers and 4 stars for others.
