His (Hackett's) classical stuff is highly recommended for who really loves classical music from 19th and 20th century, as an overall I find them even more enjoyable than the whole Rick's works I've known so far (Criminal Record, King Arthur, Six Wives and Retro's).

My local music store has 2 for 1 Prog deal at the moment. Spectral Mornings is in that so I'll pick it up and give that a try!

You owe it to yourself to pick this up.

I did last night. Love it!

Easily the most well rounded Hackett album I've heard so far.

The Wives, like most of the Wakeman's albums, is distinguished by some outstanding musicianship by you know whom, but otherwise it's borderline shallow and boring as a whole. At the same time, the Voyage is solid 4-star, all-around prog album.

Another No Voter for me.  Both are very important albums which I can't chose between.

Voyage is a very solid solo debut.
But Six Wives is a masterpiece, novel in it's conception and execution, from an indispensable keyboard giant.
