PLEASE DON'T TOUCH!

I like this one a lot. It demonstrates Hackett's versatility. Listening to it nowadays it was almost ahead of it's time. His collaboration with such fine artists like Steve Walsh, Randy Crawford and Richie Havens works a treat. He knew which resources to tap into to make his second solo album. I mean he was working with Randy Crawford long before she became a megastar in the late eighties/early nineties.

Onto the musak and the whole album is excellent but the songs that stand out are the ones done with Walsh, Crawford and Haven. ' Hoping love will last' and ' Icarus Ascending' are beautiful. Sure this album is a big shift from ' Acolyte' and while not in the same league ,rating wise PDT is a very strong offering.
