User Album Review
The ex Genesis axeman has crafted at times some exotic solo albums that capture the spirit of his travels through America, Mexico, India, Jordan, Australia and Peru to name a few destinations. At The Edge Of light is no exception; it is world music that truly unites cultures from around the globe. The title and the lightning bolt on the cover art reflect a seismic shift that needs to take place if humanity wishes to avoid its darkest times and pending doom.
Like Hackett’s former band mate Peter Gabriel, he’s taken on music that allows him to experiment with ethnic sounds and instruments and merge them successfully with his electric guitar playing. There are certainly some intriguing ideas and compositions that live up to his pedigree but ‘At the Edge of Light’ seems to borrow a lot of the same musical and lyrical themes to his most recent releases.
