I rarely feel let down by Steve Hackett but when I first bought this album I just could not get into it as easily as other albums like Spectral Mornings or Guitar Noir. However, after a few listens it really grows on you. My personal feeling about this album is that the tracks on Till We Have Faces should have been included on other albums because together they do not flow as they should. If you treat this album as an album of Steve Hacketts "Other tracks that didn't fit anywhere else" then it deserves the full five stars. No bad tracks (except when you wish upon a star) so no loss of stars. The tracks are powerful, scary, moving and all the other cliché emotions you're supposed to feel when you listen to music and they will not dissapoint you if you mix them in with other Hackett albums. I reccomend his latest album "Out of the Tunnels Mouth"

Drums Overload
11 Jan 2005
Format:Audio CD
Following an acoustic album, "Bay Of Kings", see my review, Steve Hackett kept us guessing with this offering. Although not a favourite of mine it does have some high points. Recorded in Brazil, with I believe mostly local musicians, Steve seems to be unsure where this is going and the drums are very much to the forefront, although he clearly intended this. Standout tracks are "Let Me Count The Ways", a bluesy number, not really revisited until "Blues With A Feeling" some years later. "The Rio Connection" and "Duel" which chugs along and certainly recalls the Spielberg film which it is dedicated to. Tracks like "What's My Name" and "Myopia" don't really go anywhere for me, and the closing track "When You Wish Upon A Star" the Disney standard is very pleasant, but seems out of place on this album. A bit of a hit and miss affair, but one has to say that the musicianship is excellent as always on a Hackett album.

Steve Hackett's (Import) Till We Have Faces
4 May 2000
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This CD has been remastered and two new songs have been added. The sound quality is greatly increased. Recorded in Rio, with local artist, it fuses incredible electric guitar with a Brazillian Carnival flavor. The bonus tracks are several years newer, but fit right in, and are an absolute must for any Hackett fan. Also, two of the original tracks have been extended. Compared to other Hackett CD's, this one is definitely above average.

Are You A Good Guitarist?
20 Sep 2002
Format:Audio CD
Then you should listen to "Myopia." A percussionist? Check out "What's My Name" and "The Rio Connection." Blues guitarists should take in "Let Me Count The Ways." And for anyone who remembers lullabys, drift off to "Taking The Easy Way Out." This album has many different forms, all stirred with a latin feel. Very original for its time and it still holds up well. It's great fun.
