    I can't say enough good things about this album. It's just off the scale brilliant. Steve Hackett never gets the recognition he truly deserves as a phenomenal musician.

    My dad was a gambler and had a big win for once and sent me to New York from a Terraced house with a toilet in the yard and no bathroom in Manchester, England when I was 15 (on my own) to visit all my Dads side who lived in the States. I bought this in Greenwich village and played it for the whole 3 weeks. It has massive sentimental value. Phil and Mike on Drums and bass.....it was like I had found a secret Genesis no one had ever heard in a totally alien world.

    My Father played this album hundreds of times when I was a child and this album is absolute magic. I'm amazed it continues to be when I listen.

    I love this record.I discovered it later in life, and it was such a breathe of fresh air. Great guitar work, always classy.

    Got the album when I was in my teens, was going through a hippy phase of sorts, loved all that old english, folk type stuff. Great bloke that, genuinely nice, would be excellent to have a scrumpy cider with him

    This sounds like opening melody to the 1st movement of Mahler's 10th's Symphony. He died before completing it but he'd already composed the best music possible. Even though I never became familiar with Hackett era Genesis until 1993 I can concur that any Genesis album with Hackett is better than any Genesis album without him.

    Steve Hackett is a genius I remember when Voyage of the acolyte came out - I was a young teenager - I have been listening to this LP for a little over 40 yrs now - John Hacketts playing is phenomenal and yes! Mike and Phil! - Just an awesome recording - never tire of hearing it.

    This album inhabits a very special place in my heart - I’d purchased it some 20 odd years ago when I went to San Francisco to visit my aunt in November. The music evokes the memories of how I would walk down to the lawn bowling greens and watch the elderly gentlemen in their pressed whites intently focused on a game of Bocce. The piccolo flute in ‘Ace of Wands’ clearly brings to mind how the rising full moon looked on the waters of the bay as we traveled across the Golden Gate Bridge northward to an Indonesian restaurant late one evening. I can even smell the ocean at night, which in itself was intoxicating. Cherished recollections, indeed.

    The quintessential Prog Rock album

    Fantastic guy, fantastic album, very eclectic. As well as Steve's trademark brilliant and varied guitar work, there is some simply sublime flute from his brother John and divine singing from Sally Oldfield. Plus of course the legendary Phil Collins, say no more. Apologies if I've left anyone out, it's all brilliant.

    Bar Jean piere Rampal - forget Galway - the real flute player speaks - John has fantastic tone - changed the way I thought about the instrument after hearing these tracks - I remember playing this album for some guitarist that I knew - they had been immersed in Robin Trower and Jimi Hendrix - there first comment was where is the guitar - shows what an awesome player and arranger Steve is - it wasnt your typical guitarist record 75 - 76 cool years for a budding musician such as myself. Peace - He who knows love - knows who you are - worlds you may find lit by a star. PS. I do love - some Hendrix and Trower - think Steve does too.

    Excuse me, but what did he really say about Tony Banks? Did Banks help him also on the Voyage? I did not understand it!

    • @floydyes
      @floydyes Před 4 lety +1

      Alencar 54 he said Tony complimented him about Ace Of Wands’s bass line.

    • @squareeyedgit
      @squareeyedgit Před 4 lety +3

      I think he feels that maybe Tony undervalued him/his ideas in the band somewhat and so to have him compliment him seemed extraordinary. ("Praise from above...") So because of that Steve's response comes across as a little backhanded, even though he probably genuinely appreciated having Tony say a nice thing about his work. I suppose it's quite telling as well that Tony was obviously not asked to be a part of the album. Tony clearly doesn't like being told what to do very much and Steve just wanted to realise his ideas his own way without having to run them past someone else all the time.
