STEVE HACKETT NAMES NEW ALBUM
Written by Malcolm Dome on October 25, 2018
Steve Hackett is to release a new studio album on January 25 – and here is the title.
This is to be called ‘At The edge Of Light’, and will be on the InsideOut label. The 10-tracker, recorded at Hackett’s own studio and also around the world, is to be made available in various formats: mediabook CD with a DVD featuring 5.1 surround sound mix and behind the scenes footage, double vinyl LP, CD, jewel case CD and download.
Hackett says: “In these dangerous times, deep shadows feel even sharper than usual and we find ourselves standing at the edge of light… The contrast between dark and light weaves its way throughout the album in many ways, from the sense of good fighting evil through to the interplay of dark and light opposites magically combining in cultures, including the heartbeat of India and primal tribal rhythms. Ultimately, this album embraces the need for all musical forms and cultures to connect and celebrate the wonder of unity in this divided world.”
