FEEDBACK 86

Without a question the music of Steve HACKETT has been a personal love of mine for many years now and although much less "Progressive" than other works still carries some wonderful instrumentation and HACKETT'esque moments. "Feedback '86" is a long lost album recorded back in '86 during the GTR era which never saw the light of day. "Feddback 86" carries some real nifty content like the tune "Cassandra" which features Ian Mosely and Pete Trewavas (MARILLION), "Prizefighters" - a slower version than played live druing the GTR tour (written by Steve HOWE and Steve HACKETT) which is sung by Bonnie Tyler. Throughout lead vocals are handled by Chris Thompson (MANFRED MANN) and of course Mr HACKETT. Brian May (QUEEN) also stops by for an electric duo with Steve in a strange little tune called "Slot Machine". Overall this a quirky album with some marvellous instrumentation granted more in the straight forward rock vein, but I really like it...
