Même que ça ne soit plus Kim Poor l'auteur des pochettes, il y a quelque chose de tout aussi mystérieux, le voyageur qu'il est d'ailleur, échappé d'un gros tunnel.......

Qu'il n'y ait pas de batteur sur cet album.....ce n'est pas la première fois chez Steve......mais j'ai l'impression que cet album, qu'il a entèrement enregistré dans son salon (!) sera particulier, d'après les exemples à écouter, sutout celui avec Anthony Phillips....

On l'attend au tournant !!!!

14.09.09 Review: Out of the Tunnel's Mouth - Steve Hackett


Release Date: 5 October 2009



One of the great things about being a fan of Genesis is that each member or former member of the band has a deep solo career to explore. For whatever mood you feel, there is new music to explore. Steve Hackett's latest work, 'Out of the Tunnel's Mouth' on his own Wolfworks label is the newest addition to this ever expanding discography.



This album runs through a full gamut of moods, with a lot of darkness and reflections, but yet to these ears the album feels hopeful at its conclusion. The turns that life takes can be unexpected, and can make the reality of life seem paper thin, as Steve sings in 'Fire on the Moon,' but by the end of the disc, you feel as if you are on a voyage somewhere different, exotic, and at its core, resolved to move forward, to take life on your own terms...



Are these songs autobiographical? They may be, but to the listener, it is almost irrelevant, as with the best autobiographical, personal songs, the music takes the listener on a trip to reflect on their own experiences and lives, as reflected to them in the music, the experience of another person. The personal experience of the artist, becomes general in the mind of the listener. This creating of these moods, based on Steve's own experiences, then generalize to the hearts and minds of the audience.



What follows are impressions I felt while listening to each song. I am not attempting to "review" the music, as taste as always is a personal choice, but here you can find one person's reflection, and perhaps it will whet your appetite to hear this music yourself... I know for me, this is an album that already has rewarded me upon repeat listens. I'll continue to listen, to explore more and more the emotional depths present here, that are absent in so much music. This music speaks truth, and you will find yourself inside the truth, wherever that may take you.

• Fire on the Moon: Starts with a sound, almost like a scream cut off abruptly... Is it autobiographical, the feeling of a drop off, a shock to the system... The rolling bass in the wordless choruses feels relentless, something moving forward inexorably towards an unknown conclusion... The guitar breaks, while intense, seem to these ears to be containing hope also... A reflection on the past, without submitting to it...
  
• Nomads: A cry from the heart... could be the title for the entire album... A Spanish influenced song, with joy in the middle guitar break, turning to electric before our eyes...Shades of darkness near the end... It's a cry from the heart, truly...
  
• Emerald and Ash: A foggy nighttime intro... Smiling dolls wield the sharpest blade...An airy middle section, dreamy in it's mode...But after the dream, darkness shows...Light and airy middle sections, with the sound of a light and airy 12 string, then turning dark and electric...Jamming guitar concludes... A workout on electric...Almost sounds like a march moving forward, relentlessly
  
• Tubehead: Hackett has spoken of Clocks, off of Defector, being designed as "live bait" for getting concert crowds rocking... This track is the live bait for 2009, and it works great! More guitar than should be allowed on one track... I'm sure this will be wild live...Perhaps the middle "breakdown" section could have even been pushed up in the mix a bit more, but that's a minor quibble
  
• Sleepers: Acoustic intro, reflective... Almost Hairless Heart like in quality, not a remake, but explores that same mood to these ears... ...More of that romantic sounding nylon guitar that fans love from Steve, and that he does so well... Transition to song... more mournful guitar...Fine arrangement, relaxing, dreamy, pulls you in, then punches you in the face (in a good way?) with heaviness in the middle... Almost a cartoonish music break in the middle-end solo... Great stuff, from one mood to another in the space of a few bars... Does music come from dreams, and if so, are they as haunted as this music...
  
• Ghost in the Glass: Nature sounds, outdoors, hanging with Steve as he plays the intro...Into the electric main melody, a respite from some of the darkness of the other songs on the album, but still power is here...
  
• Still Waters: Heavyness incarnate...Blues with a dark feeling...Male/female vocals trading off, verse/chorus, blues with progressive breaks... a heavy blues groove to die for...
  
• Last Train to Intanbul: A middle eastern flavour to the intro, guitar, flute, Steve can still take us geographically around the world, with a short guitar phrase... Takes a mode of music, and puts his own stamp on it... Orchestral call and response throughout the verses... Wonderful stuff... It unquestionably Hackett, with the taste of the rest of the world...Lots of references to sleep in the lyrics throughout the album... We can take this as an observation on waking up, becoming aware, and taking control as we begin the rest of our lives...
  

And as we fade out the last track, we get the sense of moving forward, the music going on, and we go on with our lives... We awake from the dream, finding our way to the new tomorrow, catching that Last Train to Istanbul...
