of course not but Hackett did use guys in Genesis on his first solo album---he wrote all or most of the rest of his SOLO work---for most solo means these are my songs away from templet of said band---thats why Hackett left the band---for others like Squire he always said he needed a good collaborator like he had on Fish out of Water or Squackett ---his 2 most successful solo albums

Still, even with the Genesis guys on Acolyte, it's still a solo album. It's an identity thing, the songwriting and band credits are secondary. Take Rod Stewart for example. He made some of the best music of his career with Faces, but still had Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian MacLagan, and Kenny Jones here and there on a couple of his SOLO records in the early to mid Seventies. The credits on Every Picture Tells a Story or Never A Dull Moment are almost the same as Acolyte in that it features some familiar musicians and writers interspersed with others.

The point is, for both Howe and Hackett here, they were making/releasing records away from their respective groups.
