5 stars This is steve Howe's best solo album an it features lots of short songs that are from his one man performances. This albums features many nice songs that capture steve's amazing guitar work such as cactus boogie which is played on a steel guitar, so far Steve Howe is the only person I have seen or heard about that bothers woth steel guitars. The album also feature Clap not "the Clap" but just Clap thank you, and it also has excerts from other songs and albums. As far as steve Howe solo efforts go this anlong with spectrum and the Steve Howe albums are his essential works. Beginnings is also good to which is his first solo effort. He isn't very big on vocals in his solo efforts but his guitar playing makes up for this flaw. The fact that there is no backing may deter some listeners it is very enjoyable for a guitar player like me to listen to as it provides some inspiration. My personal favorite song on this album is whispering altough it only goes for a minute it is enjoyable and "bouncy". Catctus boogie which I have already spoke about is also a big hightlight. These songs deserve a full rating as do the rest.
