I love Spectral, but I don't think anything will top Voyace for me.
'75 was quite a year with Hackett releasing Voyage and Hillage releasing Fish Rising, two of the greatest solo prog albums ever. |

Voyage of the Acolyte is the best solo effort by any Genesis member.

Spectral Mornings, but all three are excellent.
The 2015 re-recording of the title track with words is astonishing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U49cwM7b1Wk |

Spectral Mornings just edges out Voyage of the Acolyte for me, although Please Don't Touch has many highlights too. 3 fine solo albums.

have to agree Havens and Crawford do an amazing job on Please don't touch--not a fan Steve Walsh type singing but the song is good---Voyage is a great album even tho it has a lot of collaboration on it---Spectral Mornings is an album I listen to a lot for title track and Everyday---so its a tough call. Guess Spectral because I do think title track is one of his best instrumentals---and Everyday is powerful too

Three fantastic albums from one of my top favorite guitarists. Each with a different mood, and all three with excellent music. I cannot choose, honestly.

Steve Hackett's first three solo releases represent three widely divergent styles. While Spectral Mornings contains several great songs and some great moments, and Voyage of the Acolyte displays a very Genesis-like sound palette, I find myself preferring Please Don't Touch! as an overall effort. This is mostly due to the amazing performances of guest vocalists Richie Havens, Randy Crawford, and Steve Walsh (Kansas)--some of the best of their respective careers. Five songs that I can never get enough of. Plus, there is the adventurous "Voice of NECAM" and the gorgeous instrumental with his brother John dedicated to his then wife and album artist, Kim.
What are your preferences and, praytell, why?
