CD Reviews

Drums Overload
Colin Dodds "Col" | Portsmouth, UK | 01/12/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"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."
